When CBS Mornings host Gayle King took to the popular podcast Call Her Daddy to recount a painful chapter from her past, the ripple effect was felt far beyond the studio. In a candid episode that aired in late May, King revealed that she had caught her then‑husband, former Yale Law student William Bumpus, cheating on her with a close friend during their marriage. The confession, which was broadcast to millions of listeners, prompted a public response from Bumpus that has been described as both sincere and reflective.
