Gayle King has not turned her back on her friend and former colleague Charlie Rose.
The “CBS This Morning” co-anchor, who worked alongside Rose for years before he was fired amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, spoke to The New York Times about her friendship with veteran journalist and why she sees a potential backlash to the #MeToo movement.
King said, for her, it’s not a question of whether she has to reconcile her friendship with Rose and the things of which he is accused.
“I don’t feel as if I’ve had to reconcile my feelings,” she told The New York Times. “I don’t believe in turning your back on a friend, even when a friend has done something you adamantly disagree with and you’re disappointed in. But I also know that you listen to women, and I don’t discount their stories, either.”
