CBS’ correspondent, Gayle King, is currently in the hot seat following her interview with WNBA legend, Lisa Leslie, after King asked her about Kobe Bryant’s 2003 rape accusation.
In what fans call “distasteful and hurtful to the late NBA Legend’s wife Vanessa Bryant, daughters family and friends, who are all mourning his death and that of daughter Gigi, King didn’t quite get the reaction she expected from Leslie, who responded with: “I don’t think it’s something that we should keep hanging over his legacy.”
She also added that Kobe Bryant’s legacy is “not complicated” for her despite that alleged incident which was settled out of court.
But the interview itself drew the attention of millions of angry fans who are now calling for Gayle’s ‘resignation and apology’ to the Bryant family.
See what one fan had to say via Twitter below:
This is so disrespectful to Kobe and his family.
I’m so sick of black people going against the grain for a buck and a seat at the “table”. #gayleking no matter how much you do their dirty work you will still & forever be a n**** in they eyes. Don’t forget it. https://t.co/rvsK7thPU3
