He describes its tone as ``distasteful'' and ``disrespectful.'' He says he's ``profoundly sorry'' to the women involved and to anyone offended by it.\u003cbr/\u003e              The book, titled ``Exposing Myself,'' was published in 1991.\u003cbr/\u003e              Rivera's post follows a tweet on Thursday by Bette Midler renewing an allegation of being drugged and groped by Rivera and his producer colleague in the 1970s. \u003cbr/\u003e              In the tweet posted by the actress-singer, she included a video from a 1991 interview with Barbara Walters in which she first made her allegation against Rivera.\u003cbr/\u003e              In that clip, Midler hesitates in recounting what she alleges happened with Rivera during his visit to interview her in the early 1970s, saying it will get her in trouble. ``Get in a little trouble,'' Walters encourages her.\u003cbr/\u003e                After Rivera and the producer left their TV crew in another room, they ``pushed me into my bathroom. They broke two poppers and pushed them under my nose and proceeded to grope me,'' Midler told Walters. ``Poppers'' is slang for the alkyl nitrites class of drugs.\u003cbr/\u003e              ``I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera,'' said Midler, calling his behavior ``unseemly.''\u003cbr/\u003e              In her tweet on Thursday, Midler called for an apology from Rivera, and added the harassment-solidarity hashtag ``(hash)MeToo.''\u003cbr/\u003e              Rivera doesn't mention Midler in his tweet.\u003cbr/\u003e              There was no immediate comment from Rivera's current employer, Fox News Channel. The network has dismissed two high-profile men over sexual misconduct allegations involving their behavior while at the news channel, host Bill O'Reilly in April and CEO Roger Ailes, who was fired in 2016 and died earlier this year.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              New York, 17 Sept. 2015 - at Marc Jacobs fashion show\u003cbr/\u003e              1.

SOUNDBITE (English) Bette Midler, actress: \"To judge a person stops you actually from being able to encorporate what they have to offer to a performance and also perserverance. It takes a lot. You have to be very strong minded. You can't be a drunk, you can't be a druggy - I mean you people can be druggies but they fall on hard times. So it takes tremendous discipline and especially in the theater as I've discovered. You live like a monk. I mean you do nothing OK? Nothing. You warm up and you do your show, you go home and the last night of the week you get a drink. Oh hallelujah. Big deal. Maybe you'll get two but then you'll be sick tomorrow. Anyway, it's a hard life and yet these people, when I met these people, I've never seen such dedication and I've never seen such willingness to put themselves through such stress because it's terribly stressful. The rehearsal process is very stressful and if it's not right they make you do it many many times and people get injured and yet they continue because it's in their blood and they love it so. And I'm the laziest gal in town. I like, you know, when I go on the road I do two shows and I'm like, 'oh my God, I did two shows' and these people do eight a week.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              \u003cbr/\u003e              New York, 30 October 2017 - at Bette Midler's annual masquerade benefit Hulaween gala \u003cbr/\u003e              3.
