Oprah Sued By Former Headmistress

The queen of talk may soon be eating her words. Nomvuyo Mzamane, former headmistress of Oprah's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, is suing the media mogul for defamation. The allegations stem from Oprah's remarks insinuating Mzamane had knowledge of and covered up the abusive behavior of former dorm matron Tiny Virginia Makopo. Per the Trib:

"The thing that hurt my client the most was when Oprah said, 'I thought she cared about the girls of South Africa,'" said Mzamane's lawyer, Timothy McGowan. "It was devastating. She loved those girls."

The Oprah camp has yet to respond.
