Much like a bunch of people around the country, Snoop Dogg was piping hot mad with CBS star Gayle King mentioning Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault charge in an interview.
Snoop hit back at “CBS This Morning” host King after she brought up Bryant’s 2003 sexual assault charge during an interview with former WNBA champion Lisa Leslie.
“Gayle King, out of pocket for that s–t, way out of pocket.
“What do you gain from that? I swear to God, we the worst, we the f–king worst. We expect more from you, Gayle, don’t you hang out with Oprah?
“Why you all attacking us, we your people. You ain’t coming after f–king Harvey Weinstein asking him dumb-ass questions. I get sick of you all …
“I wanna call you one … Funky, dog-haired bitch, how dare you try and tarnish my motherf–king homeboy’s reputation, punk motherf–ker.
“Respect the family and back off, bitch, before we come get you.”
His message was titled “P.S.A. Let the family mourn in peace.”
Bryant, who died Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash, was accused of rape in 2003 by a 19-year old woman in Colorado. The case was dropped in 2004 and settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
“It has been said that his legacy is complicated because of the sexual assault charge which was dismissed in 2003, 2004. Is it complicated for you as a woman, a WNBA player?” King asked Leslie.

“It’s not complicated for me at all,” Leslie answered. “I just have never seen him as being the kind of person that would do something violating to a woman or be aggressive in that way. That’s just not the person I know.”
After receiving backlash on social media, King called out her own network for airing the “out-of-context” clip. “I’ve been up reading the comments about the interview I did with Lisa Leslie about Kobe Bryant, and I know that if I had only seen the clip that you saw, I’d be extremely angry with me too,” said King.
“I am mortified. I am embarrassed and I am very angry.”
