PAID: Gayle King Hints R. Kelly Interview Helped Secure the Bag
Gayle King’s March interview with R. Kelly was by all accounts, next level stuff. President of CBS News, Susan Zirinsky, said the interview got her attention. In a good way. “In this melee of histrionics, she did not lose the story — the accusations, the judicial ramifications, these kids, their parents. She was able to maintain editorial clarity in a situation that would have unnerved the best. And I just thought … Wow.” The timing was great time for Gayle. Her contract with CBS was expiring this November. Gayle was reportedly looking for 5-6 million per year. She got $11 million per year. Did the interview help? Gayle said, “It’s not like I planned it — like, ‘I’m in contract negotiations, I need to try to do something here.’ It didn’t work like that. But I am not naive. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me. It’s just one of those things. Thank you, Jesus, whoever that is.”
