Gayle King's Co-Workers Angry at CBS Over Kobe Promo

going off the rails, screaming uncontrollably. The difference between that and Kobe ... Gayle didn't look bad in the R. Kelly promo.Our sources say CBS failed by not protecting its undisputed star of the morning show. They should have realized the promo -- out of context -- would subject Gayle to great criticism, but that didn't happen. CBS promises it won't happen again.

Our sources say staffers feel the network owes it to its talent to keep them out of messes like this, especially when King's full interview with Leslie painted a very nice picture of Kobe and his legacy ... and should have been the focus of any excerpts. Our sources say the person who was responsible for the posting the clip has not been fired but feels awful about what transpired.

How come TMZ didn’t do a story on TMZ about reporting his death before Vanessa found out? 🤔

Oprah celebrates her birthday in St Barts aboard David Geffen's $300M megayacht watching Michael Jackson documentary with her best friend Gayle

SHE asked his friend questions the way she did & used the term ‘the victim’ instead of ‘the accuser’ implying she’s already determined his guilt. Ppl still remember Gayle & O propped up those Leaving Neverland frauds in 2019, ignoring 6 yrs worth of evidence proving they lied

Oh btw, any buzz on her making a move re: anger? Or are we to expect an apology from a higher up at the network?

Honest question. I don't know how things are done now, but whoever had the show used to watch the promos and approve back in the day. How is it done now?

I doubt this is really true

“GayleKing got set up to look like an insensitive troll...”😒 She set herself up to be an insensitive, capitalizing troll. Now getting a taste of what her poor “journalism” has done to others.🤷‍♂️ She’s helped smear ppl & won’t do honest reporting. Now feels some kind of way.😒

She’s just trying to regain notoriety ever since her infamous interview with ‘R-Kelly. Trying to stay relevant🤨

Gayle King is the kind of woman who farts at a party and then blames Hormel Chili beans for causing it to happen.

SO

tough shit, shouldn't be even asking the question.

It was a segment of an interview. I think it’s not fair to accuse Gayle of a malfeasance. CBS set her up and should apologize to her and their viewers.

Oh come on! She asked the question. We all know that wasn’t her only question. But why abuse Gayle? For one question? Kobe was no choir boy when younger. People love appointing sainthood on him! Go to church more & pray to your God!

How was the interview over and the mics still in and the cameras filming and moving and they still seated Make it make sense

FIRE her like they did therealroseanne and megynkelly

Hey Karen Who is Gayle ? 😂😂😂

Why did she even ask those questions to someone that just knows Kobe and not related or anything and why now

So why are people mad at Gayle King for Kobe being a rapist?

Oprah GayleKing.

They trash the President shamelessly even when they know the facts that disprove what they are saying.

Gayle shouldn’t haven’t asked those questions to begin with. How disrespectful and unnecessary. Now she’s trying to blame others for the mess she caused.

Funky Dog faced...! Lol

Man, Snoop fucked her up though

Gayle King did it for RATINGS. Her interview R.Kelly the promo ran her saying Robert Robert for hits &to make u watch the show.Nothing different about this promo of Gayle asking about Kobe's rape case for hits&to make up watch.She not NEW to the GAME she just got CAUGHT on this 1

Why did Gail just keep questioning it? Cheap shot Gail You want to be a big shot with CBS shot. You screwed up big-time.

Where is this smoke Gayle King👇

Whole thing is you shouldn't speak ill of the deceased ESPECIALLY the recently deceased ESPECIALLY someone whose death literally impacted hundreds of thousands of people. EVEN MORE WHEN THEY HAVENT EVEN BEEN BURIED YET.

It’s not so much the clip, but Gayle and Oprah throwing black men under the bus while slobbering all over monster Harvey W. Still waiting for both of them to condemn him. *crickets* But Kobe 17 YEARS AGO - while his family is grieving. trash CancelGayleking

I call B.S. Apologize to Kobe’s WIFE, KIDS, An FANS! He was found not guilty almost 20 years ago. Very Distasteful and Grossly inappropriate to ask a question like that! He’s deceased Why not ask the question of him while living Take ownership GayleKing CBSNews Cowards

Too bad. Respect the dead

If the clip should not have been aired, why ask the question? A reporter asks a question to publish their work so I'm still on the side of Gayle was wrong and either needs to own it or stop blaming CBS. No one forces you to open your mouth but death threats are wrong either way

😠🤔

Now TMZ is trying to help her clear her name🤣

If and it is an if he did it why shouldn't she ask these questions... No one should be glorified as a hero if they have done such things..

Snoop Dog

It’s like slavery. The masa’s OWN har azz.. lock stock & barrel. Nobody to blame but herself...na😤

Gayle King’s coworker Angry that she asked a legitimate question. One that most of us were thinking.

Lmao she SHOOK

GayleKing NOT taking full responsibility -- considering she's the LEAD anchor of CBSThisMorning -- just added fuel to the outrage! When has CancelGayleKing ever done an informative, class-act interview to the level of 60Minutes ?! Her, most famous interview moment, 'Robert'.

She should b mad at herself for bringing up old news

Sorry this is ALL on her. Own it. Move on.

It is a chapter in his novel of his life. So it's not like IT was breaking news it's a fact and it's not a lie. To be upset because she asked the question OK, but to call her a bitch !!! WOW !!!

Outrageous

Oprah and Gayle are both cooked..

Why does the msm bring up old news ? Because they like gossip

She didn’t give her resignation!!!! She knew what the F!k she was asking!!!! Dam the man hadn’t been put to rest!!! Dog Face 🖕🏾

Sooooo he wasn't accused of rape?

Hey Gayle, take responsibility for yourself girl

She did the interview. She knew it’d come out. She’s just mad she didn’t have the power she thought she did.

Gayle has to live with the person that she is.....A FOLLOWER! There’s not a doubt in my mind that she was coerced into bringing up the 19 year old case. Well now she has to deal with the repercussions of her Classless Actions ‼️

No pass on this one Gayle, why now? The man just died, we haven’t had his memorial yet. His family is grieving. This interview could have been done anytime. You chose to exploit his death. You are a seasoned journalist, stop whining.

So what they gonna fire her or will this behavior get swept under the rug

BS she brought it up...not a good feeling when the hate is toward you, if you are so so upset at the network quit!!!

TMZ do your job (as blood thirsty leukocytes) and go find the victim, and ask, her?

All she was thinking about was her paycheck when she said she was going to have an “intense discussion with my network” lol.

'Funky Dog Head Bitch' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dear, Gayle Kobe bryant case was not prosecuted because; of the evidence at his hearing, he was never found guilty!! She (victim) received an undisclosed settlement in the case, which; never went to trial.

GayleKing CBS What a COMPLETE JOKE. She has NOBODY BUT HERSELF to blame. Despicable.

Gayle is the one said name that ask the questions is why oprah and gayle like tjis toward black men

She asked those questions, right? How was this “spun”? You can’t post a video to explain your “outrage” over a narrative you yourself created. SitDownGayle

So what. Throw away the whole station.

I think Gayle king is in hot water shouldn't have done the interview

But y’all rushed to tell everyone but his loved ones about his death TMZ is satanic

The question came from her mouth. Take responsibility.

Lies. Red herrings

Kobe Bryant: Gayle King angry, blames CBS for drama over rape questionShe was likely ordered to do so by mgmt - - but yes, that is WEAK and typical. I understand that people and fans are sad that he passed away unexpectedly, but explain why is it a taboo to ask about his past? This is an actual question, probably i'm not understanding 'the don't talk about it part' here. I agree the media needs to back off, because the charges were dropped in the criminal case and this girl showed up for her exam with some other dude's sperm in her underwear. That and the settlement is what I think about when this comes up, not Kobe.
