Did Alleged Outrageous Hotel Demands Cause Barbara Walters to Nix George Zimmerman Interview?

The View's Barbara Walters reportedly walked out on negotiations to interview George Zimmerman, the shooter of Trayvon Martin, according to the New York Post. The tabloid claims Walters was negotiating to interview Zimmerman when he allegedly “demanded at the last minute that, in return for the chat, ABC put him and his wife up in a hotel for a month”.

An ABC News rep confirmed only Walters meeting with Zimmerman, but refused to discuss what he wanted. The interview was reportedly supposed to take place following Zimmerman's chat with Sean Hannity of Fox News.
