Oprah Gets Sued Over Sex That Allegedly Never Happened

Oprah's former stewardess says she's been wrongly labeled as a member of the Mile High Club, and worse, lost her job over it. Corrine Gehrls is now said to be suing the talk show hostess for wrongful termination because of the sex she claims she didn't have with the married pilot while working on Oprah's private jet in July.

Two flight attendants supposedly saw Gehrls gettin' it on with Terry Pansing during a flight, and ratted them out to O. They both got the boot, but they're fighting back.

Aside from swearing up and down the rumors weren't true, Gerhls and Pansing allegedly also took polygraph tests -- and passed -- to clear their names.

Oprah's camp hasn't released a comment, but the ex-stewardess is suing for $75,000 plus costs, lawyer's fees, and all that other good, expensive stuff. We're guessing the ridiculously loaded hostess could pull that much money out from behind her couch cushions, but we get it's the principle of the matter.
