Earlier this month news broke that Oprah Winfrey's bff, Gayle King, was leaving Oprah's struggling OWN network for her own show on CBS [click here if you missed that].
Needless to say, according to rumor anyway, Oprah is devastated...
From The National Enquirer
“Please, please don’t leave me!”
A distraught OPRAH WINFREY begged her best pal GAYLE KING not to abandon her OWN network in favor of a brand-new gig on CBS’ re¬vamped “The Early Show” – and she was reduced to tears when Gayle turned her back and walked out the door, sources told The ENQUIRER.
Now, Oprah, 57, is said to be devastated about what she feels is a personal betrayal, as well as the programming nightmare she now faces in fill¬ing the slot once held by “The Gayle King Show.”
“Oprah is terribly hurt that Gayle could be so ungrateful,” a source revealed. “She begged Gayle not to go, but Gayle said she just couldn’t pass up the opportunity of a lifetime.
“And I think she stunned Oprah when she kept saying, ‘It’s a major network!’ ”
