Just how far as Sports Illustrated sunk over the past few decades… Their 2024 swimsuit model is none other than CBS old hack Gayle King, who some say is Oprah Winfrey’s love. That’s cool if she is, I don’t really care what people do in their own bedrooms, but it’s not like Gayle King is attractive to anyone, other than maybe Oprah… WTF is up with this?
Gayle King, co-anchor of CBS Mornings, is making her debut as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover model at 69 years of age this month.
The CBS journalist and pal of Oprah Winfrey, who will turn 70 this year, was surprised to find out about being chosen for a cover during the Tuesday broadcast of her morning show, according to USA Today.
During a segment on the magazine’s swimsuit edition, former fashion superstar Kate Hudson insisted that she and Hunter McGrady were not the only cover stars on the morning show. She held up a copy of the cover that will feature King. As the studio audience applauded, the surprised King blurted out, “I’m on the cover? They told me I was just going to be on the inside!”
“Yes, girl, you did that!” McGrady told King, adding that “sexy isn’t an age, sexy isn’t a size.”
Later, during the segment, the nearly 70-year-old cover model told SI that she did not want any retouching done to her images.
