I agree that neither the husband or the friend must have liked Gayle King that much to do this.
At least the friend was honest about it.
‘I think you may be scarred,’ Oprah said, while discussing Gayle’s hesitance to open up to new friends. ‘Remember you had that friend who slept with your husband, and when you found her, you said, “I thought you were my friend!”‘
To add insult to injury, Gayle said her so-called friend didn’t have any remorse for her actions at the time.
‘She said, “I never liked you,”‘ she recalled.
Gayle first opened up about the shocking moment during an interview with Vanity Fair in July 2016, when she completed the Proust Questionnaire and was asked: ‘Which living person do you most despise?’
She responded to the question by saying: ‘”Despise” is a strong word. I’m not a huge fan of the woman I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 pm — but I don’t remember the details.’
William Bumpus responded to his ex’s admission by telling Page Six in a statement: ‘I have been haunted with this life-altering choice. Though I have dealt with this privately . . . I publicly apologize for the major transgression that dramatically changed all of our lives.’
William called himself ‘a work in progress.’
They stayed married for a couple of years after that, but eventually, they got divorced.
