Idk why y’all act like because someone black (especially a black men) is successful that they no longer can be held accountable for the horrible things they’ve done. I don’t care about legacy and representation for black people if said persons legacy involves abuse or assault.

“Tarnishing the legacies of beautiful black men”...

I don’t understand why people are attacking Gayle. All she did was ask a question. She just asked if Lisa thought that that case was relevant in the discussion of his legacy and Lisa said no and they moved on. It’s really just not that deep. They even talked about how the case was settled. So all in all her questions were more than fair and it wasn’t even the point of the interview.

I think it’s 100% valid for people to point out how Oprah is willing to make whole documentaries about black abusers but take pictures with and defend Harvey Weinstein. That’s a valid point, but gayle on the other hand does not deserve the treatment she’s getting for asking a balancing question.
