"'Despise' is a strong word," she wrote. "I'm not a huge fan of the woman I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 p.m. -- but I don't remember the details."

King divorced her husband, William Bumpus, back in 1993 after 11 years of marriage.

The bombshell answer immediately made headlines for the TV personality, who went on describe her current state of mind as "genuinely happy."

She also noted that she hasn't met the love of her life yet and the qualities she most likes in a man are "a tie between height and depth." A good sense of humor is also a must for her.
