Jessica Hahn has embarrassed Barbara Walters on national TV When Sherri Shepherd asked Hahn to talk about the “affair” which mean the sexual encounter with televangelist Jim Bakker in the 1980s, Jessica apparently took offense and turned the question around on Walters.

“This wasn’t an affair,” she said. “Unlike, I don’t want to be cruel or anything, in your book ‘Audition,’ you had an affair with a senator.”

Like the skilled interviewer she is, Walters turned it right back around to Hahn. “This is about you, my dear. This is not about me, OK?”

Hahn was referring to Walters’ admission in her autobiography that she had an affair with Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s. At the time, Brooke was the first African-American popularly elected to the Senate, and Walters was a rising star in network news.
