Oprah Winfrey has shared her life and lessons with fans through TV shows, magazines, books, and more, but there's one area of her life that's off limits. 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 Breaking Celebrity News 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.
