King Gaylecontinues to stick around Justin Timberlake through her DWI drama… criticizing cancel culture for attacking people over one misstep, which is what she considers it to be.
We met Gayle King in New York on Tuesday and she reiterated her position which was initially criticized – i.e. defend JT. While she doesn’t condone drunk driving, which she clarified again here, she also says that doesn’t make Justin a reckless or irresponsible person.
Gayle admits it was (allegedly) a huge mistake on JT’s part — but she thinks he’s genuinely sorry…although his lawyer telegraphed a different vibe. Either way… GK is tired of trying to cancel people so quickly because of a single high-profile slip-up.

Gayle acknowledges that she’s not even the singer’s best friend…but she knows a lot of people who deserve the “reckless” label – and according to her, Justin isn’t one of them.
You may remember… Gayle initially praised JT as an honest guy after his arrest, calling his slip-up a “stupid mistake” on “CBS Mornings” — making it clear that she pitied him, despite most of the internet mocking him.

As we reported… Timberlake was arrested for DWI last week in Sag Harbor, New York, after officers alleged he ran a stop sign and swerved between lanes.
Justin spent the night in jail before being released without bail following his arraignment.
His lawyer indicated that they plans to fight the accusation. The lawyer told TMZ he plans to “vigorously” defend the singer, who has a trial date set for July 26… so while Gayle thinks JT is coming clean, it doesn’t seem like he really is – in fact, he’s fighting back. that.
