Gayle King is getting merciless dragged by people on social media, including Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and LeBron James, for her recent interview with legendary WNBA player Lisa Leslie where she questioned Kobe Bryant’s legacy.

The CBS This Morning co-host sat with WNBA player Lisa on Tuesday to talk about the shocking passing of Kobe and his daughter, Gianna Bryant. The pair and seven other people died in a helicopter crash two weeks ago.

Gayle asked: “It’s been said that his legacy is complicated because of a sexual assault charge which was dismissed in 2003, 2004. Is it complicated for you, as a woman, as a WNBA player?”

Lisa responded by: “The kind of person that would … do something to violate a woman or be aggressive in that way.”

Gayle then replied: “But Lisa, you wouldn’t see it, though. As his friend, you wouldn’t see it.”

After being bashed for the clip, Gayle decided blamed CBS for the drama.

Protect @LisaLeslie at all cost! You’re a real Superhero🦸🏾‍♂️!! Sorry you had to through that s*%#!!! We are our own worse enemies! 🤦🏾‍♂️. #Mamba4Life💜💛

She said: “Unbeknownst to me, my network put up a clip from a very wide-ranging interview. [It was] totally out of context, and when you see it that way, it’s very jarring. I’ve been advised to say nothing, just let it go. ‘People will drag you, and people will troll you. It will be over in a couple of days.’ But that’s not good enough for me because I really want people to understand what happened here.”

Former Obama administration official Susan Rice, who does not like to play and is fierce, has come to Gayle’s defense and slammed Snoop for his attacks.
