Nothing is Fiction

After being accused of extorting sums from the bursting coffers of the Queen of Talk, a Louisiana man filed a lawsuit alleging that Oprah Winfrey has tarnished his reputation.

"There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level,” reads Keifer Bonvillain’s statement as obtained by E! News, "The extent of my damages is vast."

So vast indeed that Bonvillain is seeking $180 million in damages.

He was charged and sentenced to community service and a fine last 2007 after calling up the Harpo studios and threatening to go public with dirt that he dug up unless somebody paid to keep him quiet.
