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.

The article provides only scant information-seems the two accused and fired managed to pass a polygraph test-but will that be permitted as evidence in court-and will we ever learn the outcome. Scanning through the Saint OW gallerie, does Saint OW not realize how absurd she appears. Makeup by Bozo the clown-applicator a trowel-dress by ? ill fitting and from what we've seen Saint OW has no sense of self-style-only interest in expensive high fashion. Well Saint OW take a lesson- style real class type style lasts a lifetime-we all know YOU (sic., YOU'RE)rich-no need to attempt to fit your less than attractive form into high fashion-and those legs-yieeee! Not pretty. YO eyelashes girl-looks like some flying critter got itself a stuck on your face. Tone it down-Sooner or later Saint OW someone will come forward with somethng that will acutally stick-remember the bigger they are, (and Saint OW is huge) the harder they fall...Good luck in court Saint OW-with your mega $'s it's a done deal-nez-ce` pas?

When you get rich, you get evil.

NEENERNEENER, How would you know? By the way your name is stupid just as much as the comment you made
STUPID!!!!

By Roxy

I think there needs to be physical evidence and eyewitnesses to unprofessional conduct, but when you are rich and famous in America, you can ruin the little people's financial future on a whim.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard millionaires brag about firing people in their employment for reasons that violate their human rights. It is all about power and control. Some are just mean people with ugly hearts.

First, who says this girls word is law? She could be trying to hang on Oprahs' tail like her mother Gayle! Does anyone in Gayle home do anything on their own? It's bad enough Gayle is not just Gayle anymore. She's Oprahs' best friend Gayle! I grew up just my grand mothers grand daughter, never just Teri! SAD!

Oprah has built an empire. Without a doubt, she has turned around lives and the world is blessed to have Oprah in it. So get over it people!!!!

If you are going to make a legitimate comment, please have some credible examples to base your comment on. The examples you gave have no apparent congruity with fact. Do some research before making a comment soley based on your preceived reality and prejudices.

Oprah is just pissed cause she is not getting any!

By mbonhamwolv

If these allegations against Oprah aren't true, it looks like either one, or both flight attendants can be sued for slander.

Why would you want to dress up as a maggot infested moron libtard doofus hollywood profligate?

It's also hilarious that Oprah has ever had any TV Shows about her being anyone else's Weight Loss Guru. What a joke the only way that obese porker ever lost weight is by lyposuction & the stomache stapling surgery.
And, she always gains it back anyway. And then she has all those procedures done again, & again, & again....
I have only watched a couple of her shows (maybe parts of about 3 shows) throughout all the years she's been on TV. I don't know why anyone would ever watch her.

By myriad

youv'e all got it wrong. don't you know that Stacy and Clinton say to highlight the smallest part of your body: Michelle is narrowest just below her chest, thus the emphasis of her outfits. tada! now, to go find something else to comment on....

By bgs

Okay--MS--I made a statement and walked away because I gave my OPINION. I came back to your blasting me with ALL CAPS because I don't agree with your opinion. Apparently a lot of people on here do because of her clothes being under her boobs all the time. I am sorry if I said low waisted and I have been corrected to high waisted. I don't know what it is but it looks bad when all of her clothes are under her boobs all the time. It just doesn't look good TO ME--and apparently others. I didn't get into a rant about other "republican" or "democrat" women but you did. First, you need to take off the caps--they are offensive and they are meant to YELL. No one wants to read something in all caps. Second, it is my opinion of her dress--I didn't go into some tirade about all the democratic women and how they dress (could have, but didn't). You need to get a life! Apparently you want to sit on here and rant about republicans and rich people. Go get a job!

I DON'T NEED A JOB, I HAVE A CAREER. AND UNLESS YOU'VE COMPLETED A CENSUS NO ONE ONLY MEANS YOU. HAVE A PEACEFUL, PROSPEROUS, AND PRODUCTIVE DAY.

Just to let you know, I agree with you!! I wrote a comment. MS713 was totally out of line.

By Gee

I thought this was about Oprah. I thought this was Oprah judging time folks. Someone said that Oprah was a racist. Why? because she wanted to do something for children in Africa? Oprah has spent more money on white folks that many white folks! and this person has the nerve to call Oprah a racist. Take a look at Oprah's staff, many are white people who are making a damn good living from Oprah's money (you didn't think about that did you). Because of Oprah's success many "white people" are buying homes and putting their kids through college are you kidding me! Please!
