Talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey has landed in trouble. A woman named Orit Greenberg has sued Oprah’s show, citing her injuries which occurred while finding herself a prime seat at the recordings of the daytime T.V talk show, ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’.
Orit Greenberg has sued the talk show and accused other Oprah audience of pushing her down a flight of stairs that resulted in several injuries. She further claims that Winfrey’s production company, Harpo is responsible for what she had to undergo as it failed to control the mad crowd.
The incident happened at the show recordings in December 2006, at the Harpo Studios in Chicago, Illinois. After more than a year, suddenly Greenberg has realized to take action against Oprah and therefore she has asked Harpo and ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ to pay her $50,000 for medical care and other damages.
Well let’s see how the case goes on and whether Greenberg receives the said amount for ‘severe and permanent injuries’.

I just dont think this should in anyway affect the popularity of her show. This lady, with nerves of steel could throw off a fashion designer like tommy hilfiger for making racist remarks and could embrace warmly an Indian on the show, has interviewed every big-wig and is a beauty with brains to match, no way is this chit of a controversy harm her, you are coming out of this one unscathed winfrey!
People will sue for anything in America... it is ridiculous... Australian society has begun to copy this litigious trend and it is just so damn silly...
I have heard of people being sued in America because a burglar tripped over in their home and then sued them for it...
In Australia - all of this ridiculous litigation has increased the price of public liability insurance which is making it hard for community and non-profit organisations to host functions... *argh*
