Oprah Winfrey’s BFF denies lesbian relationship

Oprah Winfrey’s BFF and business associate Gayle King are not lovers, King said.
The pair’s suspected lesbian relationship stems from rumours and a televised road trip they staged together last year. But the attractive King said if she and Oprah were lovers, they would in fact be telling the world.
Speaking to reporters at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in New York City, King said: “The thing [is], if we were gay, we would tell you. We would so tell you. We wouldn’t try to keep that a secret because there’s nothing wrong with being gay. So if we were, we would tell you. The truth of the matter is we’re not. It’s hard enough for me to get a date on a Saturday night as it is.”
Winfrey has had a male partner for many years named Stedman who is kept out of the limelight.
King, however, appears on Winfrey’s show and works with her on a number of ventures. She added: “This isn’t a rumour I’m trying to continue to explore, but no there’s nothing, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Earlier out showbiz lesbian Rosie O’Donnell told Howard Stern she did not know if Oprah and King were together but that they were the emotional equivalent of a couple.
