It was no secret that Gayle King was divorced, and word on the street was there was infidelity at play, however according to Gayle King not only was there infidelity, her now ex-husband had a whole woman up in her house wrapped up in her towel and to add insult to injury the woman was Gayle King’s so-called friend.
According to Gayle King while on on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast she recalled the day caught her husband of 11 years, William Bumpus, cheating on her. Gayle said she got back from the airport earlier than expected one day, and immediately knew something was off when the house alarm was set — something William apparently never did. Gayle says William bolted out of the bedroom, wrapped in a towel, and tried to block her from going in warning her that someone was inside, when Gayle stood her ground and did a quick search she found her friend crouched down hiding wrapped in Gayle’s towel. Here’s the even crazier part after the infidelity reveal Gayle says William then drove her so-called friend to the train station so she could get back to her own husband.
