To quote Bossip, quoting Biggie: it's "mo' money, mo' problems" for Oprah.

The 'media mogul' and rumoured future US ambassador to Britain, Oprah Winfrey is being sued for $180 million by a Louisiana man, over claims that she provided false statements to the FBI regarding an extortion case in 2006.

Livesteez is reporting that another nut job is trying to sue her, this time for $180 million:

Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey is being sued by a Louisiana man for $180 million, after claims the popular talk show host gave false statements to the FBI, which led to his being arrested in 2006. Keifer Bonvillain says that he was wrongfully accused of attempting to extort Winfrey. Bonvillain was arrested in December at his home in Houma, after allegedly recording a phone conversation with one of Winfrey’s production company employees and saying he wanted to publish a book using the information from the recorded material, as reported by Vibe.com.
