GAYLE KING’S CHEATING EX-HUSBAND ISSUES A PUBLIC APOLOGY 20 YEARS AFTER

When asked the question “Which living person do you most despise?” in a Vanity Fair Q&A interview, Gayle King couldn’t help but bring up her ex’s transgressions. She responded “Despise’ is a strong word. I’m not a huge fan of the woman who I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 p.m. but I don’t remember the details.”

The brutal quote triggered Gayle King’s ex-husband William Bumpus to publicly apologise for his bad behavior. Bumpus released a statement to Page Six

“I have been haunted with this life altering choice. Though I have dealt with this privately.  I publicly apologize for the major transgression that dramatically changed all of our lives.”

He added, “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Gayle and how she handled herself with grace. Despite the situation, she kept our children, as well as my relationship and involvement with them, as a clear priority. Gayle was a great wife, an excellent mother and a fantastic co-parent. I am eternally grateful for all that she has done and continues to do to enrich my life and the lives of our incredible adult children. I continue to be a work in progress and have spent the last 26 years striving to be a better man and father. I applaud Gayle’s continued phenomenal success and friendship!”

When we asked who the other woman was, King wrote, “She knows her name!”
