Earlier this year Oprah Winfrey was forced to deny rumors she had been arrested for sex trafficking after online conspiracy theorists claimed her home in Miami had been raided and children found in her basement [click here if you missed that].
Oprah opens up about her ordeal...
In a column in O Magazine Oprah writes,
"Imagine sitting cozily in bed, propped up on your favorite pillows, 240 pages into a riveting family saga—when you get a phone call telling you you’re trending on Twitter. And you discover it’s a bogus and vile story that you were arrested and your home was raided for sex trafficking and child pornography. I can’t and don’t want to imagine an uglier accusation."
"I'm in my bed in my PJs and socks, and somehow #OprahArrested is a thing. My worst fear realized. Being slandered, accused of a crime I didn’t commit."
