William Bumpus Issues Public Apology to Gayle King Decades After Infidelity

William Bumpus has issued a heartfelt apology to his ex-wife, TV personality Gayle King, nearly 40 years after he cheated on her with one of her close friends. In a public statement, he expressed remorse for the pain he caused King, their children and grandchildren, taking full responsibility for his actions. He praised Gayle King for supporting him through law school and for co-parenting their children successfully after their 1993 divorce. Bumpus said he has long owned up to his mistake and understands why she revisited this chapter on her recent podcast. King first spoke about discovering her then-husband with a friend after returning home unexpectedly, a betrayal that she says changed the course of their 11-year marriage. The apology follows her candid recounting of that painful moment.
