'At the climax of Gayle King’s interview with R. Kelly, a man tries to take control of the situation by making it emotional,' marymacTV writes. King refuses to engage.
did a cold-open spoof with Leslie Jones as King. Meanwhile, innumerable news outlets reached out to the “CBS This Morning” anchor to ask her what she was thinking when Kelly leaped up and lost his mind. Was she afraid? Was she upset?
For years, King has been known mostly for being best friends with Oprah Winfrey. The two met when they were broadcast journalists in Baltimore, and after stints in Kansas City, Mo., and Hartford, Conn., King became a special correspondent for “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” an editor at “O, the Oprah Magazine” and a special correspondent for “Good Morning America.”
Kelly and his reps may have thought they were choosing the path of least resistance when they reached out to King so Kelly could publicly dispute multiple charges of having sex with a minor as well as physical and sexual abuse. But King came armed with tough, clear questions and was having none of Kelly’s “when you’re a celebrity, people can just randomly attack you” defense. “I have to tell you it’s so hard to believe that,” she says at one point in the face of Kelly’s repeated denials.
King is, obviously, a woman, and women do not, historically, do confrontational interviews on television. Walters, Winfrey and Sawyer have all interviewed high-powered people about uncomfortable topics but often with the air of a mother-confessor — tell me everything and you’ll feel much better. It’s an effective technique and one not confined to female journalists, but it is not King’s way.
Social media and #MeToo have changed all that. The modern news cycle waits for no man, and folks who unexpectedly find themselves in the middle of a media storm one afternoon may find themselves on the morning shows the next day. After the racist comments he made in an interview were published last month, Liam Neeson showed up on the morning shows the next day, where he found himself explaining, clarifying and apologizing rather than promoting his movie.
