![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
If you're gonna sue Oprah WInfrey, go big or go home -- and one man just went real big. As in $180 million big.
First things first -- Keifer Bonvillain was arrested two years ago after allegedly recording conversations he had with an O employee and then shopping the tapes around to publishers and tabloids.
The Feds ended up dismissing the case against Mr. Villain on the grounds he perform 50 hours community service, undergo drug testing and pay back $3,000 he took from a company looking to meet with him over the tapes.
Fast forward to the present, when Keifer filed the $180 million lawsuit claiming Oprah and an attorney made false statements that led to his arrest.
Chip Babcock, Oprah's lawyer, told TMZ, "The whole incident started when the plaintiff (Keifer) wiretapped one of Harpo's California employees. We advised him this wiretap was illegal, and now we're gonna get the chance to determine whether we were right or not."

What sad losers still watch Oprah? Or any of the stupid, boring shows she keeps torturing the country with?
I would sure love to see someone...ANYONE....knock Ms. Pompess *ss down a peg or two.
Oprah is actually allowing her attorney to speak for her? Doesn't she think she knows better than he does? She constantly has "experts" on her show and then doesn't let them speak because she seems to think her personal opinion on the subject at hand is more reliable! the higher they climb, the harder they fall!
Oprah Winfrey: Born in rural Mississippi to a poor teenaged single mother, and later raised in an inner city Milwaukee neighborhood, Winfrey was raped at the age of nine, and at fourteen gave birth to a son who died in infancy. Years later, Oprah created the highest-rated talk show in the history of television has inspired millions of people throughout the world. Was listed in 2005 as Business Week's 50 most generous philanthropists after giving an estimated $303 Million to charities.
Losers on TMZ comment board bashing her: Hate anyone with any degree of success more than their own, and have the nuts to voice their opinion of Oprah's character based on some frivolous lawsuit that will be dismissed almost immediately.
It's only October, but the fruitcakes are already coming out.......
He didn't know if it was illegal or not when he stated it in the first place?? Nice. It's lawyers like that that give the honest good ones a bad name.
