Why admit to slutty behavior? Some people will do anything to attract attention. I"ve lost any respect for her.

She's old and doesn't want to give up the spotlight.

Not a newsbreaking story - they didn't get married so why is Barbara sharing this information? I might listen just to be nosey but its on Oprah's......I'm praying for her but not supporting her businesses. Guess I'll catch it in cyberspace......

I don't understand why after 30+ years she thinks she should come forward, and reveal this. Why not have told it back in the 70's, I do believe its to sell more of her books, because people are going to want to know details, and go out and buy her book.
