OPRAH ADMITS PRESIDENTIAL 'OVERREACTION'

LATEST: OPRAH WINFREY has accused her lawyers of ''overreacting'' by slamming a cease-and-desist order on the man championing her for US presidency.

OPRAH WINFREY

The chat show queen had been tipped to be America's first female leader, and even inspired Kansas City businessman PATRICK CROWE to write a book backing her bid, called OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT: RUN OPRAH RUN.

However, lawyers for the TV star have asked Crowe to halt production on the project, as well as a website, saying its contents could cause "damage and irreparable injury" to Winfrey's reputation.

Now Winfrey admits the affair could have been handled much better with a simple phone call, and insists she's not angry with Crowe at all.

She says, "I feel flattered by it.

"My lawyers overreacted, I think, by sending him a cease-and-desist order because it really is a flattering thing. It should have been handled in a phone call."
