Barbara Walters has revealed in a recent interview with the Toronto Star that her one regret in her career was pressuring Ricky Martin to answer weather or not he was gay;
“In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was. A lot of people say that destroyed his career, and when I think back on it now I feel it was an inappropriate question.”
Wow… What a brave woman to admit fault and take accountability. On the bright side, Ricky seem quite happy in his life these days raising his twin baby boys.

She’s delusional. First, she’s giving herself WAY too much credit. Secondly, his career is actually just fine in every market except the white American market. Unfortunately as far as english language, he was only ever a novelty act. The same people that made “Livin’ La Vida Loca” a monster smash are the same people that made “Macarena” and “Tubthumping” smashes. Was anyone surprised “She Bangs” tanked his career?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Is this for real?? Ricky Martin is as OBVIOUSLY GAY as Clay Aiken! COME ON! With Barbara Walter’s idiotic train of thought, Kathy Griffin could also blame herself for any Aiken downfalls due to her comments… not at ALL! Ricky Martin is a superstar in Latin America… that’s it! The man is gay and not so closeted about it, but VERY smart! Either way, nobody really cares (nor cared) about it. He was a passing fad, as ‘jph’ mentioned, and that’s that. He’s in the lines of William Hung, Skeelo and, well Kesha! LOL!
