This is where Gale veered off the journalistic path: “But Lisa you wouldn’t see it though. As his friend (Lisa) you wouldn’t see it.” How does she know what Lisa wouldn’t see?

1. I admittedly cringed when I initially watched the clip, and you may notice my article was not a defense of King’s interviewing style or choices, because frankly, my feelings remain somewhat mixed and likely always will.

1. The questions Gayle asked and the manner she asked them were inappropriate at this time. It was disrespectful, as a human to the family and friends of the deceased. She was wrong and should apologize.

You’re not the only one, nor the last.
I’m just.... surprised.
The hell did Bill Cosby come in on all of this?
Kool-aid man could crash through my wall right now, and I’d still say:
“okay, that makes more sense than snoop.”

Really? this seems really on brand for him... What of his previous behavior gave you the impression he wasn’t like this?

The question was totally legit. It’s a fair question to ask when talking about the legacy of the person you are discussing to a women that was in the same profession and close to that person. Something that was a pretty big event that happened and for a time lead to totally different narrative for Bryant. You can’t…

Snoop has canceled himself in my sphere for this. 

THIS!!!! This man admitted he “may have raped” a girl and apologized for it. So, there’s no question about him being a rapist. But, people are outraged when anyone brings up the fact that he was a rapist. What is this? Are we saying that because someone can tell jokes, play ball or sing, it doesn’t matter if they’re a…

Snoop has disappointmented me with this.  

If Gayle could get an interview with Harvey Weinstein or Woody Allen like the one she got with R. Kelly, do people think it wouldn’t happen? Some people are dumb as hell lol.

From the article you purported to read:

My issue is that people are saying “he did” something wrong. He never admits that. She refused to testify as to what he allegedly “did.” We cannot relitigate a case the victim refused to pursue.

I just want to know when are you going to interview Harvey Weinstein or any of his accusers.

Gayle King is a journalist and hard questions need to be asked. Whether it’s someone beloved or someone not. Just like Oprah with the Russell Simmons doc and Micheal Jackson accusers interview. Why do Ipeople think because you share the same skin tone that you shouldn’t talk to certain people ?  There was nothing…

rather than the tired as fuck... because i liked him, he can’t possibly be the evil person this evil thing would make him out to be

I feel like some people don’t understand that you can hate what he did and still be sorry that he lost his life at the same time. You can feel more than one emotion at once.

of being singularly focused on destroying black men’s legacies

Why are people acting like this is some secret that shouldn’t be talked about? Unfortunately it is part of his story. Look, I’m sorry that he, his daughter and those other people died , especially in such a horrible way, but no one gets to escape what they did.  No one.

For the last time, whether you’re really good at basketball, or making movies, or beloved family sitcoms, or cooking food, or comedy, you still don’t get to rape someone. And if you do, people might bring it up.
