Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King Address Longstanding Lesbian Rumors

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King addressed the decades-long rumor that they’re more than best friends.

Winfrey then pointed out that she believes those rumors swirl because people “aren’t used to seeing women with this kind of true bond.” “The reason why I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier—not happy—for me in any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself.” Oprah—who met her lifetime partner Stedman Graham in 1986—went on to build an empire with The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ran for 25 years until 2011.
