 Oprah Winfrey: Sued over plane sex allegations
A former flight attendant on Oprah Winfrey's private jet has filed a lawsuit against her claiming wrongful dismissal.
The 39 year old Corrine Gehrls claimed in the lawsuit that she was fired after being falsely accused of having sexual intercourse with a pilot during a flight in June. She alleged that the flight attendant Myron Gooch and Winfrey's goddaughter, Kirby Bumpus, made up the story.
A lawsuit filed in Chicago revealed that Gehrls and chief pilot Terry Pansing were fired a short time after the allegations were made even though they passed polygraph tests about the incident.
They also claimed in the lawsuit that Winfrey and Bumpus were asleep "throughout the flight following their ingestion of sleeping pills". The complaint seeks more than $75,000 in damages from Harpo, Gooch, Bumpus.
A spokesman for Harpo Inc, Winfrey's production company, refused to comment on the case.
