Battle Over Walter Cronkite Nasty Tell-All Book
-
Barely a day after legendary newscaster Walter Cronkite died, a battle has broken out over a nasty planned tell-all book.
Terri Schwab, Cronkite’s former chef and manager of his Martha’s Vineyard home for 10 years is shopping
a tome that charges Cronkite suffered from dementia and was hated by his three children. Schwab said the newsman had a nasty temper and was never around for his kids, according to the Palm Beach Post’s Jose Lambiet, who broke the story.But Cronkite’s chief of staff at CBS, Marlene Adler is boiling over the book and told Lambiet that the former chef has flipped her lid and called Schwab a “disgrace” and “deeply disturbed.” Addler added: “Mr. Cronkite’s body isn’t even cold. What (Schwab) says about Mr. Cronkite’s family is false. They’re a loving, united family.”
Cronkite has two daughters and a son.
Schwab says Cronkite was supposed to marry his girlfriend Joanna Simon in July but was talked out of it. Schwab described him as demanding and abusive and the family as dysfunctional. She stopped working for him in 2006.
Wow. It really is hard to find good help these days. Sounds like the one thing Walter is guilty of is not screening his employees
