I get that the clip was taken out of context..and i understand that as bad as that whole ordeal was, it is apart of his story...and i know that she was doing her job....however, at what point do you take a stand and stand up and say no? I don’t blame them, i hold her responsible. Whatever the cost she should have opted out of even goin there with that question. That’s the problem with so many of us today, living in fear over these damn jobs 🤦🏾‍♂️...i bet rosa was scared, I’m positive that Harriet was scared, and i know Martin was terrified, but these people had a goal and faith fueled drive that didn’t let fear stop them from doing what was right for their peoples name sake...at the end of the day CBS did what CBS does...she just added to the ongoing narrative...and on BLACK HISTORY MONTH!

The fact that she brought it up at all is her fault, nothing was taken out of context

[everbornnjackson]

The most insulting thing about this is that she thinks the public is THAT stupid to not see how transparent her and her blame game IS!

[SHCAGO]

Not a single apology was given....only finger pointing and deflection; the mass media specialty.

[shijul]

Its fine to talk about editing and the network putting the clip out, but that doesn’t explain why ask the question in the first place only to backtrack.

[ronbagleyeddmbusinessconsu]

She had nothing to say about Weinstein or Epstein!

[jermainesmith]

Everyone needs to deny Gayle Kings from any interviews from now on.

[trenillo]

It's not gone to fly with us Gayle. Bye Felicia!

[jamesdunn]

She needs to be apologizing to Vanessa, his daughters, and the family instead of attempting to cover her tracks. You couldn't cover these tracks with a blizzard Gayle! We all heard what YOU said and you even questioned Lisa's response to your ignorant question. Doubt CBS had anything to do with you telling Lisa that she may not have seen that side of him due to their friendship. Hope you enjoyed your friendship with Lisa...don't see that one lasting lol. Have fun enduring the backlash...you earned it!!!

[fbwkeezy]

You should have apologized to the Bryant family!!!!

[Fusions]

My problem with that interview on that particular subject is when Lisa said Kobe, I didn't see him like that. You said to her. Well, you wouldn't have seen him like that because he was a friend.

[MrLuciano]

But you still asked the questions it wasn’t the network that asked the questions it was you smfh

[denzlom]

"Clip" or not...YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER DISCUSSED THIS MATTER..PERIOD!!!

[Black-eyedSusan]

And to ask his best friend that!? During HER interview!? Gross

[maryatkins]

No it will not be over in a couple days !! She will be held to this forever just like how she is trying to hold Kobe to something that is over and done with . Nobody cares to hear the explanation .. she said what she said .. WE HEARD IT

[marcellamuhammad]

Gayle is all about the money. We as black people need to stop purchasing anything that deal with Oprah Winfrey's. STOP STOP STOP buying since money is their GOD.

[mantality]

You could see the disgust on Lisa’s face when that question was asked. So don’t act like it’s taken out of context. Not only that but as a journalist you know the facts of that case, and AAALLL the evidence clearly points to the fact that she tried to set him up. She even admitted that to her friends.

TOO LATE

TIMES UP

BYE FELICIA.

[tonydavisthedjday]

You sound even goofier with your response.
CANCELED!
