Flight attendant sues Oprah Winfrey

A former flight attendant on Oprah Winfrey’s private jet is suing the talk-show host, claiming she was fired after being wrongfully accused of having sex with the jet’s chief pilot in June. In a defamation lawsuit recently filed in Chicago federal court, Corrine Gehrls, 39, claims she was fired after two other flight attendants — Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus — accused her of having sex with pilot Terry Pansing. The accusations were considered serious because the alleged sex allegedly occurred while the alleged plane was in flight, and we’re pretty sure the FAA is totally not cool with flight attendants and pilots having sex while they should be doing things like serving Oprah fresh cups of green tea and keeping the plane from crash-landing on a crowded freeway.
Gehrls claims in the suit she and Pansing were fired after the allegations were made, despite the fact that the they both took, and passed, polygraph tests. She is seeking $75,000 from Winfrey, Gooch, Bumpus (who is the daughter of Winfrey pal Gayle King) and Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions. Harpo Productions says Hehrls’ claims are false and the lawsuit is without merit.

She's either telling the truth or is crazy as bat shit
For the second time in one week, Mackenzie Phillips sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Friday (September 25) to discuss her allegations of an over 10-year incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. This time she was joined by her younger sister Chynna.
When asked if she thought it was a good idea to be speaking out after all these years, she responded. “My answer to that is — and I understand this is a difficult thing for my family — nobody’s talking about this,” she told Oprah. “So if I started a national dialogue that will help people face this issue, I am forever grateful.”
