Oprah Winfrey Being Sued For Sex Allegations
Oprah made the allegations that led to the firing of two private jet employees.
Oprah Winfrey is being sued for a reported $316,000 by a former flight attendant whom Winfrey accused of having sex with a pilot while on duty on Winfrey's private jet.
The flight attendant, 39-year-old Corrine Gehris, reportedly was fired last June when her colleagues tattled on her for having sex with a pilot while Oprah and her private jet passengers were sleeping on a flight. Gehris is saying the mile-high tryst never went down, that she was fired based on unwarranted accusations, and that she deserves to get her job back.
The pilot is 57-year-old Terry Pensing, and he was also fired. He and Gehris both passed a lie detector test after the affair took place, and Gehris is suing on the premise that because the sex never happened, Oprah should have given her job back. Along with the $316,000 she's seeking, Gehris is suing the tattlers on the plane and Harpo, Inc. for a reported $75,000 in damages.
Think this is crazy? In August it was reported that Oprah was being sued for $1 trillion -- read about it here. Plus, David Letterman may face a $300 million divorce, according to Monday morning report.
