Gayle King shared this photo to Instagram of her interview with R. Kelly yesterday:

Wow. Gayle Kings composure in front of #RKelly is stunning.

Her interview with him airs Wednesday on @CBSThisMorning pic.twitter.com/bFSVNaxXsZ — David Begnaud (@DavidBegnaud) March 6, 2019

Yes, this should help him fight back against those charges of sexually abusing underage girls:

This should help his case… https://t.co/vWa616SO5B — Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) March 6, 2019

And who’s the guy who had to hold him back?

The interview aired this morning where an emotional R. Kelly told King that he’s “fighting for his f***ing life”:

ONLY ON @CBSThisMorning: @GayleKing's explosive interview with R. Kelly. Kelly tells Gayle, "I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me! I’m fighting for my f-ing life!" pic.twitter.com/rC3Jqf1HtV — Norah O'Donnell?? (@NorahODonnell) March 6, 2019

But King stayed calm throughout:

This is wild. @GayleKing is again teaching a master’s class in interviewing. She remains so calm and focused while @rkelly loses it. https://t.co/8IUtssouzt — Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) March 6, 2019

But R. Kelly did himself no favors:

In this interview R. Kelly tells @GayleKing that what he has done in the past with underage girls is not relevant today. What a monster. https://t.co/4nyomKx5vm — Yashar Ali ? (@yashar) March 5, 2019

And R. Kelly’s alleged victims are PISSED:
