Winfrey Hit With Plane Sex Lawsuit

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 12th 2009 08:31AM

A flight attendant for Oprah Winfrey's private jet who was fired after she allegedly had sex on board of the plane has filed a lawsuit against the talk queen, denying all allegations against her. Corrine Gehrls says that two fellow flight attendants -- one of whom is the daughter of Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey's best friend -- made claims that she had intercourse with plane pilot Terry Pansing during a flight which Winfrey and other guests were on.

UsMagazine.com is reporting that the lawsuit claims that Winfrey and others on board were sleeping "following their ingestion of sleeping pills, which is when the alleged sexual affair with the plane's pilot, Terry Pansing, took place. Gehrls alleges that flight attendants Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus (King's daughter) made up the claims. Gehrls and Pansing were both later fired for "inappropriate intimate behavior," the suit claims.

She and Pansing have both passed a polygraph test, but were still not rehired. In the lawsuit, Gehrls seeks more than $75,000 from Gooch, Bumpus and Winfrey's production company, Harpo Inc.

According to the Chicago Tribune, both Harpo Inc., and Pansing have declined to comment on the lawsuit.

What is wrong with Della Reese? Bet you wish you looked as good as Della Reese at her age. She is also a minister, in addition to being an actress and singer and is held in high esteem. What do you look like and what have you ever done.

Just for the record. My comment was not meant to be offensive. Lighten up folks. Why so hypersensitive?!!!

Why must sooo many of the 500 pictures be duplicates? The number of photos can easily be shaved down to 100.

By Yeppers

That would involve someone doing their job and checking before putting them on for all to see. Likewise the spam posts for the colon clense, sex tapes, etc. Surely it couldn't be that hard to check the posts occasionally and remove the offending spam.

Oprah is soooooooooooo yesterday! Its time for her to retire before it gets out just how corrupt and dangerous she is. Female or not...black or white...its all the same...money and power eventually leads to a lot of dirty laundry! Especially watch out for the people around her!

By CAROLYN B.

You are so right. Opera, went out of her way to get Obama voted in. I wonder about what she thinks of him now. The Socialist he is. Opera, hope you are on your way out too. The U.S.A. was the only way you made your money!!!!! Live in another country and see if you would have been as successful.

By Romare

Quit hating this is all about you being jealous, until you reach the staus quo, (probably won't) your comments don't matter. What it does show is your ignorance! Grammmie

Interesting, Oprah and her other guests had taken sleeping pills??

By Boo Boo

No doubt they have thier own physician to prescribe whatever they want. If you have the money, you can get the pills. I think it is insanely dangerous to dope yourself up for a flight. if something happened it will make it very difficult to escape safely, if there is a chance of escape.

By cmoorecole

There is nothing unusual about people taking sleeping pills during flight. Many doctors have no problem with prescribing Ambien for this or any other reason to use sleeping pills. Sleeping pills in this day and age do NOT knock you out and leave you unable to respond in an emergency. They just let you sleep and if you need to be awake - you do wake up. There is just nothing edgy about this practice - it is very common - as in- practiced routinely by non-celebrities. Consider yourself informed and so, now you don't need to wonder about "sleeping pills" anymore and you can take that off your list of reasons to suspect and criticize African American celebrities. You'll have to find something else to use in your racist campaign.

SHE IS SICKENING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK, WHILE YOU DO WHAT AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HELP WHOM. :-)

She ruins some nice outfits by wearing a 4" belt around her ribs. It really looks retarded. She needs another fashion consultant.

I have never seen anyone as uncomfortable in their own skin as poor Oprah. She makes me nervous trying to hide behind microphones, books, etc. She cant make eye contact with Mrs. Obama in any of those pictures, or any women for that matter. She looks at men but looks away from all the women. I think she could use a better hair style, shorter to make her face look thinner, and quit wearing her clothes so tight. She looks just plain uncomfortable.

By Dharma

i agree i see ophra as very uncomfortable. i dont know why or how? but its very obvious. but she is a very rich not in her skin woman.
