Gayle King is sharing her thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion amid social reactions to the rapperโs recent admission to lying to about sleeping with Tory Lanez.
Suggested Reading
The shocking revelation came out in Meganโs recently released Prime Video documentary, โMegan Thee Stallion: In Her Words.โ In it, the Houston rapper admitted to lying to King about having sexual relations with Lanez during their interview on CBS Mornings back in 2022. For what itโs worth, the โMamushiโ rapper admitted she lied to King in 2023 when the trial against Lanez was going down as noted in court documents. But not everyone had access to those in the same way they did with this new documentary.
And while some folks online dragged the โHot Girl Summerโ rapper for doing so and others dragged King for asking in the first place, it doesnโt look like the veteran journalist is too bothered by the surprising admission.
In a brief interview with TMZ on Tuesday, King was asked how she felt now having learned she was being lied to by Megan and her answer will more than likely shock you.
โIt was the first time she was telling her story and it bothered me that so many people didnโt believe her story,โโ King said. โThat bothered me. So I wanted to get [it] from her firsthand.โ
King said why the lie is really on her, โBut listen, I still am nuts about her. I think sheโs been through a lot and I canโt wait to see her documentary. She was under the gun, I thought, and undeservedly so. I have no controversy with Megan.โโ
King echoed similar sentiments in the days leading up to election day when she shared that she had โnothing but great, great love and respect for Megan Thee Stallionโ and that she would be โcheering her on always.โ
Though King had a message of support for Megan, folks online still donโt seem too willing to let the โUngratefulโ rapper off the hook any time soon.
โMegan is so dismissive about this when sheโs the one that lied about fcking her BEST FRIENDS man behind her back. Then she allowed the internet to bully Kelsey instead of taking accountability and telling everyone that the argument & shooting happened bc she got caught,โ wrote one user on X/Twitter.
