Oprah Winfrey Sued Over Accusations of Sex On Her Private Jet
Posted on Oct 10, 2009 @ 04:14PM - 16 comments
A flight attendant has filed suit alleging she was fired by Oprah Winfrey's company, Harpo, Inc. as a result of a false accusation she and a married pilot had sex on the plane while Oprah napped.
Read the Lawsuit
Corrine Gehrls has sued Harpo, Inc. and fellow flight attendants Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus for the claimed wrongful termination. In her legal filing, Gehrls says she and Chief Pilot Terry Pansing had a on-going dispute with Gooch over work schedules. It became so heated, Gooch "recruited" Bumpus to join him in a plot to get the two fired. Bumpus is the daughter of Oprah's best friend Gayle King.
According to the document, "Gooch and Bumpus falsely told Winfrey and Harpo that on the June 14, 2009 Harpo flight, the passengers on which included Winfrey and Bumpus, Pansing and Gehrls had been observed having inappropriate intimate conduct outside the cockpit of the plane." The pair was terminated July 7.
Pansing and Gooch, on the advice of their respective attorneys, took polygraph examinations which they say proved they were truthful in their insistence they hadn't joined the Mile High Club on Oprah's plane. They presented the test results to Winfrey but she refused to reinstate them.

Gooch's lawsuit says that Pansing has separately settled the matter with Harpo, Inc. She wants at least $300,000 in damages.

While most of the entertainment world has chimed in with their thoughts on Kanye West’s hijacking of Taylor Swift’s speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, the muse for his tirade Beyonce Knowles has kept silent… until now.
Madonna Tells Kanye To Stop Talking
"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" Beyoncé told O: The Oprah Magazine editor Gayle King. "And when they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!'”
Beyonce Lets Taylor Have Her Moment
Knowles, who immediately reached out to Swift and later gave her the stage so she could finally say a public thanks to her supporters, was happy to relinquish the limelight to her fellow singer. "But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment — and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech."

West recently cancelled his tour with Lady Gaga citing a pledge to distance himself from the public eye so he can analyze how he will “make it through the rest of this life and improve.”
