Gayle King has responded with grace and understanding to rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s recent comments in her documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words. Megan admitted to lying to King during a 2022 CBS interview about her relationship with Tory Lanez, referring to King as a “b**ch” in her new documentary. However, King has chosen not to let the remarks overshadow her support for Megan.
King Reacts to Megan’s Remarks
In a light-hearted Instagram video, King, 69, acknowledged the messages she received from friends and fans about Megan’s comments. “Hey, I’m just sitting here, minding my own business, and people are reaching out to me saying, ‘Hey Gayle, Megan Thee Stallion just called you a b**ch,’” she said with a smile. Despite the language used, King expressed nothing but positivity toward Megan.
“I know you’re expecting me, or maybe you’re thinking I have something negative to say. I do not,” King assured her viewers. “I have nothing but great, great love and respect for Megan Thee Stallion, and [I’m] cheering her on always.” The seasoned journalist remained unfazed, emphasizing her admiration for the artist and choosing to focus on positivity instead of criticism.
Megan’s Documentary Confession
Megan, who previously denied an intimate relationship with Lanez, recently clarified her comments in the new documentary. Reflecting on her past interview with King, she expressed frustration with being questioned about her relationship during an interview focused on the 2020 shooting incident involving Lanez. “Yes, b**ch, I lied to Gayle King, b**ch,” Megan admitted. “I didn’t know that b**ch was gonna even ask me about that. We’re supposed to be talking about this shooting. Why are you asking me about f**king Tory?”
In the documentary, Megan went on to explain, “Even if I was… I f**ked this n***a like once, maybe twice, on a drunk night. B**ch kept catching me out of my f**king mind.”
Despite Megan’s choice of words, King has chosen to take the high road. Her reaction has resonated with fans and celebrities alike, who have applauded her for remaining calm and respectful in the face of Megan’s comments.
