Oprah Comes to Gayle King's Defense Over Lisa Leslie Interview
0After Oprah came to Gayle King's defense over Lisa Leslie's interview in which CBS showed a clip of King asking Leslie about Kobe Bryant's sexual assault charge in 2003, our co-host Erica Cobb breaks down these conversations as a black woman in media.
“When we’re having these conversations in mainstream media, especially as a black woman in media, we have to be so careful because this narrative has already been out there in a way that mainstream media was never about because there was zero representation in 2003 to even have a thought of what the Kobe side could have been," Cobb explains. "And now we’re here and we’re having these conversations and we can’t have these conversations with even a hint of not having historical context in them because it is just that painful. And that’s the reason why no one wants to hear from any black woman or black man in mainstream media that isn’t speaking love and peace and honor on Kobe Bryant’s name, less than two weeks after his death.”
