WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie, is one of Kobe Bryant's best friends. During an interview, Gayle King asked Leslie if Kobe Bryants legacy was tainted because of the sexual assault accusations in his past. Lisa Leslie quickly replied stating that isn't the Kobe she knows and she has never know Kobe to be a womanizer or the "kind of person to violate a person." King replied stating, "you wouldn't see it. as his friend, you wouldn't see it." Leslie then replied, "I just don't believe that. I'm not saying things didn't happen, I'm just saying things didn't happened with force."
Leslie then went on to state that "I think the media should be more respectful... If you had questions...the media has had many years to ask him that." Gayle then said "the case was dismissed because the victim refused to testify." Leslie quickly replied, "and that's how we should leave it."
Many fans took to social media to praise Lisa Leslie for defending Kobe and handling the question with class. Unfortunately for Gayle, fans were not so nice calling out Gayle for disrespecting Kobe before he has been buried. Fans went on to say that King should have asked Kobe Bryant these questions while he was alive, instead of waiting until he had passed. Doing this now, is disrespectful and distasteful to the Bryant family. Check out social media reactions below and let me know what you think.
