Ari Lennox Apologizes To Oprah Winfrey & Gayle King For "Ignorant Attack"

Ari Lennox has issued a lengthy apology to Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King after insulting the two back in 2020. Commenting on a post from The Neighborhood Talk's Instagram page on Friday, Lennox admitted she was in the wrong for coming at them.




"Y'all can take this however you want," she began. "But my passion is SINGING. I am not an actress first nor have I been auditioning for anything. I'm beyond content with what God has blessed me with. I apologized because I FEEL I was wrong, and I feel like those women didn't deserve that ignorant attack from me."

She continued: "This is not to impress the self-righteous idiots, the true misogynists that love degrading Black women for their imperfections or flaws. We all have a million reasons as to why we become who we become and I don't see the point in being judgmental and evil towards people figuring it out. I'm here with no agenda or motive. I was wrong and I want to be very clear about it. I don't mind being real about it. It's not my intent to impress you or please any of you."




Lennox originally called out the two for bringing up Kobe Bryant's rape allegations following the Los Angeles Lakers legend's tragic death. "Fuck ass, fucked up, fuck Gayle [King], and fuck Oprah," she said at the time. "Y'all are some self-hating pieces of shit fuck-asses. I have never seen a c-n more fucking c-nier than got damn kale and okra. I'm over y'all. I don't give a fuck how rich y'all are, how much you fucking accomplish. Y'all are tearing down the legacies of so many phenomenal beautiful Black men and I don't fucking have time for it. I'm sick. I'm disgusted. You don't care about Black people. Okra I knew you wasn't shit when kids was trying to take a picture with you and she said 'Ooh I see your little crack phone.'"
