Oprah Winfrey Refuses To Surrender Her Private Diaries In Lawsuit
The TV talk queen has told a court she won't hand over her private diaries as part of an ongoing lawsuit against her - despite the fact that the Plaintiff thinks they could hide some important secrets.
As Radar has reported, Winfrey is being sued by Simone Kelly-Brown over Winfrey's use of the term "Own Your Power," to which she says she has claim. Kelly-Brown's lawyers recently filed documents asking for a two-week extension of the discovery period, but Winfrey's attorneys quickly responded with a strongly-worded letter insisting the suit move ahead as originally scheduled.

"Ms. Winfrey examined her journals and there is nothing relevant," the letter to the Court insists.
