Investigative talk-show host Geraldo Rivera says he’s “going to go after” two part-time actors who set off a “talk-show credibility scandal” Monday when they confessed they had fibbed their way onto his show and those of Oprah Winfrey and Sally Jessy Raphael by pretending to have undergone sex therapy. “These people are admitting now to having committed fraud or at least misrepresentation . . . and we’re going to go after them,” Rivera said, indicating legal action might be in the cards for the two fibbers, Tani Freiwald and Wes Bailey, both of Chicago.
