Barbara Walters
Broadcast journalist; 3 black book numbers; part of Maxwell's NYC social circle
Legendary broadcast journalist (ABC News, The View, 20/20) who was a prominent figure in Ghislaine Maxwell's New York social circle. Listed in Epstein's black book with 3 phone numbers. Walters was photographed multiple times with Maxwell at charity events and galas in Manhattan. Virginia Giuffre described in her manuscript that Maxwell boasted about her friendship with Walters and other media figures. After Epstein's 2019 arrest, it emerged that Walters had reportedly urged a fellow journalist not to pursue the Epstein story, though this claim was disputed.
In a 2020 memoir excerpt, a former ABC producer described a culture of reluctance around covering the Epstein story, though Walters was not directly implicated in editorial decisions. Walters died on December 30, 2022, at age 93. No allegations of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein were made against her.
