HBO’s Larry David has been making headlines over the end of his long-running series “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

And, well, a day after the show ended, Geraldo Rivera had some thoughts he wanted to share.

“After 12 seasons, many viewers lament the passing of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry David’s sour, pseudo bio-series,” Rivera began with his screed on X, formerly Twitter.

“I’m not a fan, because Larry truly is the self-righteous, snobby, self-loathing, narcissistic ass he portrays. That opinion is informed by an outdoor afternoon Martha’s Vineyard birthday party at the home of retiring Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz. I spotted Larry in the crowd and walked toward him. Instead of making at least nominal polite contact, Larry ostentatiously avoided even looking in my direction. He actually scurried about in theatrical panic, ducking behind other guests Groucho Marx-style as he made sure to keep a safe distance. I later found out from Dershowitz that it was because I worked at the time for Fox News, and was generally supportive of my old friend President Trump. Larry, who I’ve never met, apparently was taking his cue from the famous Fox-hater renting the big place next door. Visible through the bushes separating the properties, President Barack Obama refused to make the two minute walk over to Dersh’s place for the same reason, Fear of Fox. Now, every time I see Larry being rude, crude and intolerant on television, I say that’s him, that really is Larry David, and he’s not acting.”

Ok, then.
