A reference to the famous and infamous,
Puerto Rican-Jewish son of Cruz "Allen" and
Lillie "Lillian" Friedman Rivera.
Often controversial, the "Exposing Myself", "HisPanic", and "The Great Progression" author; five-times-married, four-times-divorced
dad of five children; and a former lawyer who represented the Young Lords of Spanish Harlem; the ABC News-turned-NBC News-turned-FOX News anchor has never shied away from taboo subjects (including Satanism and Al Capone's vault) or even outright-dangerous situations (including unthinkingly giving away troop positions in Iraq in 2003, right before he was scheduled to marry Erica Levy).
Some have sadly speculated that the
68-year-old "Geraldo at Large" host and FOX News correspondent
may also not be in his final
marriage in being married to Erica Levy, the daughter of
late ADL Regional Chairman Howard A. Levy. Even though Geraldo Rivera converted to Reform Judaism in 2003 by celebrating a second Bar Mitzvah Ceremony with
son Gabriel and marrying Erica Levy at Manhattan's Central Synagogue, Rivera has had a record of sleeping with over 1,000 women (including his five wives; all four ex wives of whom he cheated on) and raised concern from some (including some outright-vicious and vile gossips) that his support for the verdict in the Casey Anthony case
may be motivated be certain untoward and inappropriate feelings towards the infamous client of Jose Baez.
