Gayle King is about to walk down the aisle in the most exclusive ceremony Hollywood has seen in years — and her daytime TV family at CBS just found out the hard way they’re not invited.

Sources close to the 70-year-old CBS Mornings co-anchor confirm the bombshell guest list for her hush-hush nuptials leaked Monday night, revealing zero current CBS employees scored an invite to the star-studded event set for a private Montecito estate next spring.

The freeze-out is raising eyebrows from 30 Rock to Black Rock, with insiders whispering the move stems from months of behind-the-scenes tension at the network.

“Gayle’s done playing nice,” a high-level production source spilled. “She’s been carrying that morning show on her back while contracts get slashed and producers treat her like yesterday’s news. This wedding list? It’s her mic-drop moment.”

The leaked roster, obtained by Page Six, reads like a Forbes power list on steroids:

Oprah Winfrey (maid of honor)
Barack and Michelle Obama
Tyler Perry
Ava DuVernay
Shonda Rhimes
Serena Williams
Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Meanwhile, big names from her daily grind — co-anchors Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson, executive producer Shawna Thomas, even longtime control-room vets — didn’t make the 150-person cut.

One CBS staffer told us they learned about the snub when the leaked list started circulating in a staff WhatsApp group at 8:47 p.m. Monday. “People were stunned,” the source said. “Some cried in the bathroom.”

The drama traces back to last spring’s brutal contract renegotiations. King reportedly took a pay cut to keep younger staffers employed during layoffs, only to watch executives green-light pricey parachutes for departing suits.

Then came the viral clip of Dokoupil’s October grilling of a pro-Palestine author that sparked internal fireworks. Multiple sources say King was furious her name got dragged into the controversy while she was on vacation.

“She felt thrown under the bus,” another insider claims. “Gayle told friends, ‘I protect this place with my life, and they hang me out to dry? Fine. Enjoy the open bar without me.’”

King’s fiancé, a low-key private equity titan named Charles “Chuck” Harrington, 68, reportedly backed her 100%. “He told her, ‘This is your day. Invite who makes you happy,’” a friend of the couple shared.

The venue? A 42-acre oceanfront compound owned by a tech billionaire who owes Oprah a favor. Security will rival a state dinner — phones confiscated, NDAs thicker than Gayle’s Rolodex.

Guests are already receiving save-the-dates disguised as O Magazine gift boxes. Inside: a single gardenia and a card that reads, “Your presence is the only present requested.”

CBS brass scrambled into damage control Monday night. Network spokesperson texted staff: “Gayle remains a valued member of our family. Personal celebrations are just that — personal.”

But the shade keeps coming. One invited A-lister reportedly RSVP’d with a note: “Wouldn’t miss it. Sending love to Gayle and zero to the 12th floor.”

King herself stayed silent on social media, posting only a cryptic Instagram story: a photo of her dog with the caption “Loyalty looks good on everyone.”

The snub list isn’t total CBScide — a handful of retired legends like Norah O’Donnell and former EP Susan Zirinsky reportedly scored golden tickets. “It’s not about the network,” a source close to King clarified. “It’s about who showed up when the cameras were off.”

Wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss is orchestrating the three-day extravaganza. Day one: welcome clambake. Day two: ceremony under a 200-year-old oak tree with Stevie Wonder performing. Day three: gospel brunch featuring a surprise reunion of Oprah’s Favorite Things recipients.

Cost? North of $8 million, fully funded by the couple. No corporate sponsors, no CBS tie-ins, no gift registry. Just one request: donations to King’s new literacy foundation.

Staffers left off the list are already plotting their response. One senior producer joked about crashing in a catering van. Another started a GoFundMe titled “Help Us Buy Gayle a Toaster.”

King’s inner circle isn’t sweating the backlash. “She’s earned this,” Oprah reportedly told guests at a pre-engagement dinner. “Let them stay mad in the control room.”

As Montecito florists scramble to import 10,000 white peonies from Holland, one thing’s crystal clear: Gayle King is done code-switching for corporate comfort.

The invitations close with a P.S. that’s pure Gayle: “Dress code: Come as your most authentic self. Leave the network drama at home.”

For the CBS crew watching from the outside? That last line stings worse than any ratings drop.

The wedding date remains top secret, but sources say it’s locked for the first weekend in May — same weekend as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. King reportedly turned down a plus-one to that event months ago.

“She told the president’s team, ‘Sorry, I’ll be busy marrying the love of my life,’” a White House insider laughed. “Even the leader of the free world can’t compete with Gayle’s big day.”

As the leaked list continues to spread faster than Taylor Swift breakup rumors, one question lingers in the CBS newsroom:

If the queen of morning TV can ice out her own kingdom, who’s really safe?

Tickets to the hottest wedding of 2026? Priceless. An invite from Gayle King after this leak? Absolutely not.
