Corrine Gehrls, a former flight attendant on Oprah’s private jet, has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Oprah and her company, Harpo Inc. According to E Online, Corrine and married pilot Terry Pansing were both fired on July 7 after being accused of having sex mid-flight while Oprah was on board.
Also named in the Chicago defamation suit are Corinne’s fellow flight attendants Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus—who happens to be the daughter of Oprah’s BFF Gayle King. Corrine says that the two “falsely told Winfrey and Harpo” that she and Terry “had been observed having inappropriate intimate contact outside the cockpit of the plane.” The suit also claims that Oprah and Kirby were konked out via sleeping pills during the June flight in which the alleged tryst took place.
Corrine says she did not have sexual relations with that man. She and Terry even took polygraph tests, which they both passed. Corrine is seeking over $300,000 in damages – which, let’s be honest, is probably less than Oprah spends on environmentally conscious toilet paper.
I wonder why Myron and Kirby would have made this up? Clearly they didn’t like these two. Maybe they were jealous? Maybe there is an unrequited crush somewhere? You know it’s gotta be juicy.

i hate gossiping ass sites like this. they always try to be clever and insight speculation as suppose to the truth. kirby bumpus is oprahs god daughter, believe me she doesn't have a damn thing to be jelous of, she's in the company of oprah for crying out loud. those two probably were behaving in an inappropriate manner and are simply embarassed by the incident.

Todd interesting that you hate these sites so much and you not only are reading the articles, but also commenting on them! Ha! This appears to be a typical example of a spoiled little god-daughter who decided to make false accusations and now it is coming back to haunt her, and Oprah's pocket book! Gail is simply a middle class person just like most of us, who has a rich friend who gives her so called "jobs" rather than just giving her money. Apparently the same is done for her daughter, and it has gone to her head!!! If these two both passed a lie detector, we know who is lying!

There is no way Oprah will lose this lawsuit. As much as she sucks as a person, she has as good as Presidential immunity. She never loses a case. This guy did a great piece on her, though: http://www.whythisblogsucks.com/2009/10/05/why-oprah-sucks-part-1/
