Gayle King Faces Backlash: 'Sell-Out' or 'New Friendships'? Dive into the Drama!

Gayle King has been fiercely criticized for holidaying with Oprah Winfrey and Kris Jenner

SCANDAL IN THE MAKING: Gayle King's Shocking New Friendship with Kris Jenner and Oprah Winfrey Sparks Outrage!

In a move that has left fans reeling, CBS Mornings host Gayle King has been photographed on a luxurious holiday in Mallorca with none other than reality TV queen Kris Jenner and media mogul Oprah Winfrey! The trio was spotted lounging on billionaire David Geffen's opulent yacht, looking like they just stepped out of a White Lotus episode.

But what really got tongues wagging is the timing - Gayle had attended the highly-controversial wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez just weeks prior. Insiders claim that Gayle's attendance at the exclusive event was a major deal, especially given her history with Oprah. And now, it seems like she's trying to cash in on the Kardashian-Jenner empire by befriending Kris herself!

The Instagram photos show the three ladies posing together in their luxurious robes and beachwear, flaunting their stunning figures and sipping champagne on the deck of David Geffen's yacht. But beneath the glamour and glitz lies a complex web of relationships that has left fans feeling uneasy.

One thing is certain - Gayle King's reputation as a down-to-earth TV personality has taken a major hit with this new friendship. Her fans are outraged, accusing her of "selling out" to the Kardashian-Jenner machine. "I used to have respect for them, but now they're just like the rest - chasing clout and fame," wrote one angry fan on The Scholarly Note.

But what's behind Gayle's sudden shift in allegiance? Sources close to the TV star claim that she's been friends with Oprah for years, and that this vacation was simply an extension of their long-standing relationship. However, others believe that Gayle is trying to tap into the Kardashian-Jenner empire's vast wealth and influence - and that her attendance at Jeff Bezos' wedding was just the beginning.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: Gayle King's new friendship with Kris Jenner and Oprah Winfrey has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. As fans weigh in on social media, the question remains - what does this mean for Gayle's future as a TV personality? Has she finally sold out to the highest bidder?

In related news, Gayle posted a series of photos from her holiday, showcasing the group's adventurous activities, including a hike around the town and a relaxing sunset on the deck. But fans were more focused on the drama surrounding Gayle's new friendship.

The controversy has sparked a heated debate online, with some defending Gayle's right to surround herself with whoever she wants, while others claim that her association with the Kardashian-Jenner empire is a betrayal of her previous values.
