Oprah Winfrey got visibly emotional and choked up when asked about her best friend, Gayle King.
Oprah Winfrey feels for her best friend, Gayle King. The longtime friend of thea former professional basketball player and close friend of the late Kobe Bryant.
Winfrey added,"She is not doing well and feels that she was put in a really terrible position because that interview had already ran. And in the context of the interview, everyone seemed fine, including Lisa Leslie, and it was only because somebody at the network put up that clip. And I can see how people would obviously be very upset if you thought that Gayle was just trying to press to get an answer from Lisa Leslie.
A spokesperson for CBS News told ET in a statement on Thursday:"Gayle conducted a thoughtful, wide-ranging interview with Lisa Leslie about the legacy of Kobe Bryant. An excerpt was posted that did not reflect the nature and tone of the full interview. We are addressing the internal process that led to this and changes have already been made."
