Gayle King was a recent guest on “Desus and Mero” and she talked with the fellas about her friendship with Oprah Winfrey, her memorable interview with R. Kelly from earlier this year, her dream interviews and much more.
She said, “I never thought that he was going to hurt me, guys.” As she started to move her fist into a punching motion, she continued, “I thought he might accidentally hurt me and I was worried about that because he’s, you know, you could tell that he hits hard.”
“So I just sat there like this thinking, ‘I don’t want to move.’ If somebody does that to you, you can just very gracefully or discreetly go like that, but I knew I couldn’t make any sudden movements because he was very amped up, as you see,” said Gayle.

If you all remember, earlier this year R. Kelly sat down with Gayle King to speak about the allegations that have been going on about him over the years. Many of the allegations resurfaced following the now award-winning docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” premiered on Lifetime.
Aside from Gayle interviewing R. Kelly, she also interviewed his two girlfriends who claimed that their parents had been telling lies and that they were completely happy with being in a relationship with the singer.
In July, he was arrested and faced multiple new charges, and he is still behind bars as he continues to try and beat his cases.
Check out what Gayle had to say about that interview:
When it comes to who is a part of Gayle’s dream interview list, she said she would love to interview Felicity Huffman, who ironically was just released from prison after serving 11 of the 14 days she was sentenced to for her role in the college admissions scandal.
