'I respect her right to tell her story, and that's where I'll leave it.''I was very, very surprised,' King later told TMZ about her ex-husband's public apology. 'He didn't say anything to me about it, so I was surprised but I'm very appreciative.' 'I appreciate it, because listen, that was a very painful time,' she continued. 'Anybody that's been through it knows how painful it is.' She added that enough time has passed for both of them to heal and move forward.
