Snoop Dogg says his reaction to Gayle King's interview with Lisa Leslie about Kobe Bryant was 'derogatory' and 'disrespectful.'
Snoop Dogg apologized to Gayle King, admitting he"overreacted" with his aggressive response to her interview with Lisa Leslie. The CBS This Morning host sparked backlash after asking Leslie, a close friend of Kobe Bryant's, about his"complicated" legacy. King — who said she was"mortified" over how CBS edited the viral clip — received death threats for bringing up Bryant's sexual assault case. Snoop Dogg was among those who sent her hostile messages.
Snoop then addressed King directly:"I publicly tore you down by coming at you in a derogatory manner based off of emotions... me being angry at questions that you asked." Snoop called King, 65, a"funky dog-head b****" before saying,"Respect the family and back off, b****, before we come get you." He later insisted he"didn't threaten" King, but didn’t actually apologize. Now, the 48-year-old"Lay Low" rapper said he"overreacted."
The entertainer said he was just speaking up"for a friend that wasn't here to defend himself." Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among the nine killed in a helicopter crash in L.A. on Jan. 26.
