Guess what Oprah? Gayle did not need to bring up anything other than condolences for the family. She chose to say what she did, she shouldn't open her mouth, unless she is willing to face the backlash.

It's been brought up before his death.
2015 - GQ asked him about it.
2016 - Daily Beast article about it.
2018 - Petition to remove his Oscar nomination.
It would be brought up no matter when he died. It was like a snippet of her interview. And yes she had a right to bring it up to someone who claims to be a close friend who "knows" him so well. But it's so strange she didn't see him as a player type when he openly admitted to the cops he cheated on his wife consistently having rough sex with multiple women and gave a name of a woman to talk to and confirm that. ALSO the fact his wife filed for divorce in 2011 shows he didn't learn. Maybe he did in 2013 after she dropped it. But it's quite apparent Lisa Leslie didn't know him as well as she thought she did.
So you're saying death threats are justified in this? That she deserves random strangers who don't even know him to threaten to kill her? For doing her job? That's ridiculous. People are way too obsessed with celebrities.
When I heard he died I was shocked - but I knew the comments about the rape would come and they did with an hour of his death reported.
It's amazing that his own family isn't threatening to kill her for this but random strangers are.

Your exactly correct Brad. She alone Opened her Mouth. No one forced her. Now she has consequences. Say stupid things,,, Suffer the blow back. I'm tired of some types of people desiring to say and doing anything and everything and not wanting to deal with the consequences.

It's not worth threatening to kill someone over. That snippet of her interview was a minute or two of the entire interview with Lisa Leslie. That was not what she focused her interview on with her.
People need to chill with this Kobe Bryant shit. I was a fan. I watched him play when Seattle still had a team and stationed there. I have a couple jerseys - doesn't mean he doesn't leave a complicated legacy. He does.
Some people are taking his death harder than they would a family member it seems in some comments I've seen. If you're not immediate family...calm down.
