Gayle King Sparks Fan Frenzy After Cozy Hangout With Kris Jenner — A Crossover Moment That Blurs the Line Between News Icon and Pop Culture Insider
She’s covered presidents, protests, and prime-time headlines — but this time, Gayle King made waves just by showing up. As photos of her hangout with Kris Jenner surfaced, fans declared her officially part of the inner circle
Gayle King’s recent bonding with Kris Jenner has not been well-received by her fans.
Following her attendance at Jeff Bezos’s wedding, Gayle’s choices have been under scrutiny. However, her mingling with longtime friend Oprah Winfrey and Kris Jenner has sparked a new wave of backlash.
Gayle shared some pictures on Instagram of the group enjoying their time together. In one snapshot, the group is seen posing in flowing, patterned dresses. Gayle opted for a neutral-toned outfit with a leafy print, complemented by large glasses. She flashed a bright smile at the camera and accessorized with layered necklaces, reports the Mirror US.
Kris was positioned in the center of the group, donning a baby blue dress adorned with floral accents. She accessorized with large, gold earrings and matching cuff bracelets, and shielded her eyes with oversized, black sunglasses.
Oprah, holding Kris’ hand, sported a dress featuring a large lion face and pattern. The TV host accessorized with red-tinted shades and dangling earrings.
Gayle captioned the photo, “Don’t you love it when you admire what someone’s wearing and THEN they give you one? That’s how @krisjenner rolls on vacation! I love this @skims and @roberto_cavalli collab. I didn’t check with @oprah, but I offered us up for a Skims campaign to promote if needed-you’re welcome.”
However, fans were quick to express their disapproval of her friendship, especially as she promoted Kim Kardashian’s brand. “This is embarrassing,” one fan commented.
“I’m as confused as the rest of the world. This trio sends bad vibes. Done with both Gayle and Oprah,” one comment read. Another chimed in, “You used to be one of us. Now you’re one of them. Good lord.”
A different voice weighed in, stating, “You ladies look beautiful, but I am concerned about the message this sends to women around the world. Kris Jenner and the Kardashians are not a brand I can support. They have promoted unrealistic beauty, and this has led to many women feeling anxiety and depression. They are not role models for our daughters. In contrast, you and Oprah are role models and mentors to us all. We need your voices right now to talk about the things that matter when so much of the world is experiencing pain and grief.”
Yet another expressed frustration, saying, “So out of touch with reality. Speak up about Gaza, or how your billionaire buddies should pay their fair share of taxes.”
Kim was enthusiastic about her squad, exclaiming, “QUEENS, LEGENDS, CHARLIE’S ANGLES! You all look so beautiful.”
Joining in, Khloe gushed, “I love you ladies! ! ! ! What fabulous girls you are! ! ! ! !”.
