After facing backlash, Gayle King posted a video addressing the backlash. She stated:

“I’ve been up reading the comments about the interview I did with Lisa Leslie about Kobe Bryant. I know that if I had only seen the clip that you saw, I’d be extremely angry with me, too. I am mortified, I am embarrassed and I am very angry. Unbeknownst to me, my network put up a clip from a very wide-ranging interview, totally taken out of context and when you see it that way, it’s very jarring.”

CBS network has released a statement supporting Gayle King. And Oprah Winfrey has shared her support.
