Gayle King: ‘Oprah Was Not Forced To Step Away From Russell Simmons Documentary’

When Oprah Winfrey pulled out of the Russell Simmons documentary, many speculated that it was pressure from 50 Cent and other celebrities who were against the project, who convinced her to back off – but bestie Gayle King says that’s not the case.

“I know this was a very stressful and very difficult decision for her to take her name off because she knows that her taking her name off because, as you point out, Russell has done a very public and very private campaign to convince her, she knows that the message that sends is that maybe she was muzzled. Nothing can be further from the case,” King said on CBS This Morning.
