Snoop Dogg is under fire after he called CBS’s Gayle King a “funky dog head b*tch” after CBS tweeted out a clip of King’s interview with WNBA star Lisa Leslie where she asked about Kobe Bryant’s past rape accusation (and he says Bill Cosby should be released from prison):

This video of Snoop threatening @GayleKing is disgusting

Referring to Gayle he says: "Funky dog head bitch…respect the family and backoff. Before we come get you.”

Bill Cosby then weighed in from prison where he’s serving time for sexual assault and thanked Snoop for his kind words:

Snoop – when they brought me to my gated community and placed me inside of my penthouse, they didn’t win nor did they silence me. It’s so sad and disappointing that successful Black Women are being used to tarnish… https://t.co/7fGNHIzXSH

And then “The Ellen Show” aired an episode today that was guest-hosted by Snoop Dog and Martha Stewart:

So, where does Ellen DeGeneres herself fall in this debate? Here’s what she said about Dr. Ford and her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh:

This tweet is for Dr. Ford. You put yourself through so much and I want you to know it wasn’t in vain. You started a movement and we’ll see it through. If they won’t listen to our voices, then they’ll listen to our vote.

.@WNBA legend @LisaLeslie told @GayleKing that Kobe Bryant's legacy is "not complicated" for her despite his 2003 rape accusation.

"I don't think it's something that we should keep hanging over his legacy." https://t.co/qj6MVvOaqX pic.twitter.com/9qtVORobLO

According to Oprah, King is getting death threats and is now traveling with security over the online outrage at her interview:
