Gayle King Refuses to Abandon Charlie Rose Despite 27 New Accusers: ‘I Still Consider Him a Friend’
Gayle King offered a defense of sorts for Charlie Rose on Thursday morning, saying that she still considers him a friend and questions the need for the Washington Post’s new report detailing
27 additional accounts of sexual misconduct against the disgraced newsman.
“When the story first broke, I said Charlie was my friend. I still consider him a friend. I know that’s probably not the politically correct thing to say this moment, but I don’t believe in abandoning friends when they’re down,” said King on the set of “CBS This Morning.”
“I don’t know what more we can do to Charlie Rose, except a public flogging. He’s gone. He’s not coming back to CBS News,” she said. “You see these allegations, you hear the stories and it just makes you sick all over again.”
