Ari Lennox Writes Lengthy Apology For Bashing Gayle King & Oprah
Lennox vows to to stop using social media in favor of “true self love, healing, understanding and peace.” After Gayle King brought up Kobe Bryant’s rape allegations during an interview with Lisa Leslie, a chorus erupted in opposition to the television host.
