The CBS Mornings host was surprised to be seated next to Fox News host Jesse Watters during a recent 4-hour flight—but her chummy post and selfie with Watters isn't sitting well with everyone.

CBS Mornings co-anchor Gayle King posted a selfie on her Instagram Monday that's been less than well received.

The “best friend of Oprah” found herself seated next to controversial Fox News host Jesse Watters on a flight and opted to snag a selfie with him.

King posted the plane shot with the caption:

"Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they’re seated right next to each other for over four hours. How did it go? Speaking for [Jesse Watters] here: A good time was had by all! Hi, Jesse…saving your number!"

So what's all the fuss about?

Watters has established himself as the Fox host with the most racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic comments on Fox. Not to mention his creepy thoughts on dating—bragging on air about disabling a younger subordinate’s car to force her into his vehicle—and his bizarre rules for men.

So while polite conversation during the flight was expected, a smiling selfie with the promise to keep in touch was a bridge too far for many of King's friends, fans, and followers.

This isn't King's first stumble.

The CBS host faced backlash after comparing herself to NASA astronaut Alan Shepard after her 11-minute space flight as part of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos' handpicked all-female crew.

In 1961, Shepard was the second person and the first American to venture into space. In 1971 at age 47, he became the fifth and oldest person to walk on the Moon.

George Santos Just Threatened To Flee NYC Due To Zohran Mamdani—And The Internet Pounced

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he announced he may leave New York City over fears it will become "dangerous" if Zohran Mamdani—a democratic socialist—is elected mayor.

Mamdani handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary in June, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city. The latest polls show Mamdani has a double-digit lead over Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who is facing calls to drop out.

Earlier this month, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Lucy Dacus reacts to Janelle Monáe

In June 1972, music icon David Bowie released his fifth studio album—and apparently, a time-traveling Janelle Monáe was there to witness it.

At least, that’s how they described it in a new Rolling Stone “Musicians on Musicians” interview with Boygenius guitarist Lucy Dacus. During their conversation, Monáe casually claimed to have “traveled back into the 1970s” to see Bowie perform The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, calling it “incredible.”
