One of Oprah Winfrey's former employees Corrine Gehris is suing the talk show host for more than $316,000. The lawsuit claims that Gehris' firing was due to false sex allegations made by fellow flight attendant Myron Gooch and Winfrey's own goddaughter Kirby Bumpus.

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.

Gehris is seeking more then $75,000 from Winfrey's production company Gooch, Bump, and Harpo Inc. She claims that the private jet was refueling on the ground during the time that the sex allegations were made.

Although Gehris and Pansing both passed lie detector tests, neither was rehired following the alleged incident.

Myron Gooch and Winfrey's own goddaughter Kirby Bumpus had other motives for accusing Corrine Gehrls and the pilot Terry Pansing, for having sex on the plane, even after they proved by a lie detector that they were clear on any alligations. They where still fired....why????? Could it be because the accusers were covering up something.....It sounds like the two women that accused Corrine and the Pilot did it out of revenge because they are both spoiled girls that like to do things there way! Both girls give me the impression that they both live the high life, seeing that they are both linked to Winfrey....so whatever they say goes....is that how it works?
