Meanest Story nominee:Oprah's Employees Tell All!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 11 October 2010

The Flagship continues to tilt at windmills, trying to take down the Most Powerful Woman On The Planet. They say some employees are suing Oprah, but it sounds more like blackmail. Among the tidbits are:

• High on drugs while taping the show
• They watched her take drugs and pass out
• Racist rants
• Gayle slept with Oprah's flight attendant

None of this is flattering, but I don't see how an employee can sue over any of this stuff. The racist rants stuff might be part of a harassment charge, but the rest of it is better suited to the front page of a sleazy magazine rather than submitted as evidence in a court of law.

Wait! It's on the cover of a sleazy magazine! What a stroke of luck!
