‘Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything’ premiered at the Tribeca Festival on Thursday, June 12.

Barbara Walters had a “very difficult” time working with three male journalists in particular, her new documentary revealed.

“Peter Jennings always put me down,” Barbara said in Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on Thursday, June 12. “I had a very difficult time working with Peter. Very difficult.”

After a clip of him brushing her hand away and another of him interrupting one of her interviews played, Walters detailed how she was treated by Jennings.

“He would interrupt without any regard to what I said, and he never took me seriously. Once in a while, he said to me, ‘That was a good report.’ Like, ‘Oh, what a nice surprise.’ I was used to working with bullies,” she continued. “When I stopped to think of it, as we talk, he was the third bully that I’d worked with: Frank McGee, Harry Reasoner, Peter Jennings. It’s the way [they thought about] the so-called ‘hard news.’ A woman couldn’t do it. The audience wouldn’t accept her voice. She couldn’t ask the tough questions. She couldn’t go into the war zones.”

Directed by Jackie Jesko for Imagine Documentaries and ABC News Studios, Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything follows the life of Walters, giving viewers an “intimate and raw look” at her career, personal life and the challenges she faced along the way as a trailblazing woman in a male-dominated industry. After an illustrious career, Walters died in 2022 at age 93.

Marcella Steingart, Jesko, Sara Bernstein and Meredith Kaulfers all serve as producers on the documentary, while Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Justin Wilkes, Betsy West, Muriel Pearson and David Sloan serve as executive producers.
