Oooh, that’s gotta burn! Best friends are supposed to keep it real, and Oprah Winfrey is no exception. When coanchor Gayle King appeared on the Tuesday, December 6, episode of CBS This Morning, Winfrey had something to say about her best friend’s red and green statement bib necklace.
“Note @oprah sent to my asst this am ‘plz tell Gayle I’m on treadmill & it’s hard to focus w/the circus around your neck,’” King, 61, captioned a December 6 Instagram, screengrabbing her ensemble. “I think she’s WRONG thoughts?”
King’s followers weighed in, complimenting her ability of accessorizing. “I was thinking how much I love it. I never thought I would disagree with Oprah!” @ameebeth70 wrote. Others sided with the OWN Network CEO, like @juanitab150: “She’s right… It’s WAY TOO MUCH!! That’s what friends are for… To tell us truths we don’t want to hear,” she said.
This isn’t the first time that Winfrey served a helping of harsh truth to her dear friend of over 30 years. In November 2015, the O magazine creator, 62, jokingly criticized King, who’s the publication’s editor-at-large, for her on-camera makeup.
“@Oprah just called & said tell your makeup artist waaaay too red on the lips today and I said proudly ‘I did that MYSELF,’” she explained in an Instagram. “Dead silence on the line … Hello ??hello?..”
