Throughout this interminable Chris Brown/ Rihanna kerfuffle, one person has been keeping mysteriously quiet.

Chris Brown? No. Rihanna? Nope. We’re talking, obviously, about Gayle King. Oh, you know, Gayle King. She’s famous for being friends with Oprah Winfrey and… no, actually that’s it. Gayle King is only famous for being friends with Oprah Winfrey.

But now, finally, Gayle King has decided to step forward to share her oracle-like wisdom on the Chris Brown arrest with the world. And what does Gayle King – in all her infinite knowledge – think? She thinks that hitting women is wrong. OK, thanks Gayle. You can go now.
