Oprah Sued Over Mile High Club – Oprah Winfrey was sued by former flight attendant Corinne Gehrls over being fired for “Mile High Club” activities on board her private jet.

Gehrls, 39, insists the story of her sleeping with the pilot during a fuelling stopover while Oprah dozed nearby in the cabin was false.

She claims another flight attendant – who happens to be Winfrey’s goddaughter – made up the story in a dispute over work.

Gehrls and chief pilot Terry Pansing,57, were fired in July after the allegations of the “mile high” sex were made.

The lawsuit filed in Chicago revealed that the couple both later passed a lie detector test when asked about he onboard sex.

Gehrls claims Winfrey knew the sex allegations were “obviously false” as the plane was on the ground refuelling when the incident was said to have taken place.

The flight attendant said Winfrey and other passengers were “dozing” in their seats having taken sleeping pills for the flight.

Gehrls said Kirby Bumpus – the daughter of Winfrey’s best friend Gayle King and Oprah’s goddaughter – was among those who made up the sex claims.

Another one of Oprah’s private flight attendants, Myron Gooch, also made the same allegations.

The lawsuit alleges that Gooch made the accusations after Gehrls and Pansing complained that he refused to work as scheduled, asked for his hours to be changed so he could “attend to his cats”, and insisted on staying in better hotels than the rest of the crew.

A spokesman for Winfrey and her Chicago based production company Harpo refused to comment.

The lawsuit seeks damages from Gooch, Bumpus, and Oprah’s Harpo Productions company.

And that’s the latest on Oprah sued over mile high club.
