Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is being sued more than $316,000 by a former flight attendant on her private jet.
Corrine Gehrls, 39, claims she was fired after false allegations that she had sex on board with chief pilot Terry Pansing, 57, back in June while the star and other passengers slept, reports London’s Daily Mail.
The recently-filed lawsuit alleges that Myron Gooch, a flight attendant, and Kirby Bumpus, the daughter of Winfrey's friend, Gayle King, and the billionaire’s goddaughter, made the accusation that led to their firing in July.
Both Gehrls and Pansing passed lie detector tests after the accusation, but were not rehired, dailymail.co.uk reports.
Gehrls claims the billionaire knew the “mile high” sex allegations were "obviously false" since the $42 million plane was on the ground refueling when the event was said to have occurred. Winfrey’s former employee is seeking more than $75,000 in damages from Gooch, Bumpus and Harpo Inc., Winfrey's Chicago-based production company.
A spokesman for Harpo Inc. refused to comment.
