Oprah sued by former head of girls school
In widely reported remarks last year, Winfrey suggested that Nomvuyo Mzamane, 39, of Philadelphia, knew about alleged abuse by a dorm matron and tried to cover it up, Mzamane says in the lawsuit.
Her lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on Friday, seeks more than $250,000 on five defamation and related counts from Winfrey and her company.
"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.
A spokeswoman for Winfrey says the company has not seen the suit and plans no immediate comment.
