August 20th, 1992. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us ‘Modern Day With Hunts’, this segment the story of Rochelle Crawford, a victim of vicious rumors.
“What do you have to keep you stable, and to keep your mind regulated, you’ve lost your job, devastated by this…dope addict…how do you keep it together?.”
We learn as the segment goes on Ms. Crawford was also the victim of an attempted mugging just that morning in New York City. The audience questions towards the end continue to expose Rochelle’s sorrowful tale – a true example of how malicious gossip can cause real-life harm.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
