Say gayle king, in some alternate reality, was in fact one of Kobe Bryant's 3 grieving daughters and perhaps even the eldest
News just broke about the crash that unimaginably claimed the lives of her legendary father and one of her younger sisters, literally so young that it would bring a tear to anyone's eyes, along with 7 others. On a Sunday.
Within a week of this unspeakable helicopter tragedy, that claimed multiple lives, an interview surfaces by an extremely popular interviewer and it's basically asking a retired ex colleague of her dad's about his legacy and its potential complications in the eyes of many.
During this candid sit-down, she, the famed interviewer crassly raises concerns about his past allegations, which legally were proven false at least 15 years ago and had largely gone undiscussed for the past 11; during which, the said individual had continued to excel in his field and inspire and uplift more generations of young individuals the world over; he'd also officially retired and graduated onto better things in his life and basically left behind more than almost anyone his age could even dream of. During this interview tho, broadcast to the world in the week following his passing, she questioned these decade plus old allegations and how they may taint his legacy after death, completely ignoring how absolutely fresh the pains still were not just in relation to his passing, but also to those of the other 8 individuals whose lives were lost almost completely senselessly. She totally lacked the sensitivity and/or proper timing that would be requisite to any kind of "good interview" on a topic so painful with the wounds still wide and gaping open.
Now a bunch of extremely wounded sports fans want her head.
As a black girl, do I even feel bad for this lady? I mean, maybe a little. But do I fall for the bullshyt ass deflecting by people who weren't originally unsettled by the interview, making it about a some kind of modern-day attack on black women? What about Kobe's wife? What about Mrs Bryant? Did she not deserve more than some absolutely shocking interview clip, out of context or not, that is now going to find her seeking closure on the life of her husband longer than she wouldn't liked?
Gayle was wrong. Question wasn't illegal, but questioning a man's legacy, whose life was lost along with his 13 year old daughter and 7 others in the DAYS following a helicopter crash that claimed them all is just bad journalism
