praised King for taking to Instagram"We're living in very fraught times and I think that things explode and I think Gayle was really smart to make sure she put it in context," Couric told ET."I think it was a mistake, things get misunderstood, taken out of context and then they just explode at the speed of sound."

"I think you just have to be extra careful, extra sensitive, and extra thorough about the material that gets disseminated in the world," she added. A spokesperson for CBS News told ET in a statement on Thursday:"Gayle conducted a thoughtful, wide-ranging interview with Lisa Leslie about the legacy of Kobe Bryant. An excerpt was posted that did not reflect the nature and tone of the full interview. We are addressing the internal process that led to this and changes have already been made.""She is not doing well and feels that she was put in a really terrible position because that interview had already ran," she shared.

Respect the family and back off, b**ch, before we come get you" -- has since clarified his comments after receiving backlash of his own. In a follow-up video, he said he was a"non-violent person" and wanted "no harm" to come to King.
