A Harpo Studios spokeswoman tells The Associated Press the studio doesn't comment on pending litigation.

Oh.brother.

What a dumb broad. Everyone knows if a woman wants money out of Oprah, she shouldn't sue over some bogus stuff like this, she should bang Oprah then threaten to go to the tabs.

i dunno. i tnink there is something to this, maybe,

i've been at prince paisley park parties or concerts where people will literally shove and push to get close to the stage, like a tidal wave of humans. it's scary. no stopping the surge. i can only imagine how bad it would be going down stairs.
