What are BFFs for?
Oprah‘s bestie and O Magazine editor at large Gayle King is upset about the recent lawsuit regarding the supposed sexual shenanigans on O’s private jet.
Former employee Corrine Gehrls alleged that she was fired after two co-workers, including Gayle’s daughter Kirby, claimed she had “inappropriate conduct” with the chief pilot. Gayle had plenty to address in a recent interview.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On her daughter Kirby:
“This is a young woman who graduated from Stanford last year who’s now working on her master’s, so to be characterized the way she’s been characterized in this lawsuit is very stressful and upsetting to her and it’s just wrong. So when she’s upset, as her mother, it makes me upset…Kirby is a young woman who is just starting her life, so this is a very upsetting thing.”
On Oprah being a target:
“And it’s one of those things that — those of us who are close to Oprah know that she’s an easy target for these kind of lawsuits├óΓé¼┬ª.she’s a very easy target, and then if you’re in the inner circle, you now become a target.”
On the truth of the matter:
“But what I also know about these kind of lawsuits, these kind of opportunistic lawsuits, for lack of a better word, is that the truth always comes out,” Gayle tells us. “I just look forward to the day that the truth will prevail, and I know it will in this case too. This is what’s so upsetting to me. It’s characterized like Oprah’s running some hanky-panky airlines — nothing could be further from the truth.”
We don’t know about you, but a “hanky-panky airline” sounds like a good time to us!
