Oprah Sued. Again.

By Ali Trachta in News on Oct 24, 2008 7:15PM

If she didn't already have enough problems, Keifer Bonvillian, arrested in 2006 for attempting to extort money from Harpo, is suing the Oprah camp for defamation to the tune of $180 million. Bonvillian allegedly recorded phone conversations with a Harpo employee, then sweet talked another staffer into agreeing to pay him $1.5 million to prevent him from publishing a book based on the material. Though the charges were dismissed, Bonvillian is now claiming that Oprah and one of her attorneys made false statements leading to his arrest. Our favorite part is Bonvillian's claim that "There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level...The extent of my damages is vast." Delusions of grandeur, much? [MSN]
