Babs Regrets Putting Ricky Martin on Blast
Posted by Shan on March 9th, 2010 | No Comments

I read a tidbit this morning that Barbara Walters admitted that if she regrets one thing, it would be putting Ricky Martin on the spot about his sexuality in a 2000 interview. She thinks it ruined his career because it left everyone assuming he was.
Part of me is glad she had admitted that, but you know he puts himself in the situation as to whether it’s questioned so he made his own choices. Then I just want to slap Barbara for being so arrogant as to think that she had the power to destroy his career.
Lest we not forget that since that interview he has put out a grand total of one new English speaking album, which went to #6 in America. I don’t think you can really consider it “destroying” a career when he had a top 10 album and the album Sound Loaded that came out around the time of the interview went to #2.
Step back Babs, you ain’t that big. And you sure ain’t Oprah.
Check out the interview after the cut.
