One thing is for sure, you don’t come for Oprah without her bestie Gayle King saving the day. Last week when rumors that Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry’s friendship was on the rocks and that they aren’t working well together, King was there to clear up the mess.

King took to Instagram and posted the photo below with the caption: “Just reading @Oprah & @tylerperry are angry w/each other & not speaking,” she captioned a photo of the article on Instagram. “If that’s true (it”ain’t”)must have just happened 10 min ago!”

Huh? Just reading @Oprah & @tylerperry are angry w/each other & not speaking if that’s true (it”ain’t”)must have just happened 10 min ago!

And, to further extinguish the flames, Perry posted a photo of himself with Oprah, the cast and crew smiling and having fun.

Oprah and Perry are decades-long friends and from the looks of things, they will remain that way.
