In this month's O magazine,
Oprah addressed rumours that she and Gayle were gay.
And now from Jossip.com, the story of how
Oprah and Gayle first met.
Before there was Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, there was Oprah Winfrey and her "we're not gay" BFF Gayle King. But did you ever wonder how the two met? Apparently the whole story is unfolding on XM radio channel 156 right now. (We don't have XM radio, so we're just going to have to take our tipster's word that this is being aired.)
"When I was 22 years old and working as a TV anchor in Baltimore, there was a young production assistant in the newsroom, Gayle King. One night there was a snowstorm and she couldn't get home. I said 'Hey, you can spend the night at my house.' She said, 'I don't have any panties.' I said, "Well, I do. I have clean panties, and once I give 'em to you, you don't have to give 'em back.'"
What Oprah doesn't know is that Gayle still has the panties from that night. They've never been washed. And sometimes, she goes into her dresser drawer, take them out, sniffs them, hugs them, and cries.
