*Oprah Winfrey's best friend Gayle King, who helped the talk show host develop her $46 million academy for girls in South Africa, tells People magazine that they have both taken a hands-on approach in investigating the sexual abuse allegations at the school.
"We're definitely working on it," King told the publication Oct. 29 as she entered the G&P Cancer Research Foundation Angel Ball in New York City. "There is still an investigation. We're trying to figure out what is real and what isn't."
Students at the school, in Henley-on-Klip, south of Johannesburg, have accused a dorm parent of physical and verbal abuse – allegations which Winfrey addressed Monday in an emergency meeting with the students' parents.
"It's just heart wrenching that the situation even happened. It really is," said King, adding that the two traveled to the school twice in one week. In fact, "Heart wrenching doesn't do it justice," she said. (Source)
