Gayle King addressed the persistent rumors that she and best friend Oprah Winfrey are secretly in a lesbian relationship. "It used to really bother me," King told Alex Cooper on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast. "I was recently divorced and the National Enquirer did a story about ‘that's the reason for the divorce because they're secretly gay.’" She explained, "Number one, if we were gay, we would tell you because believe me, there's nothing wrong with it. It’s just I prefer a man. I prefer a man."
