However, the queen of daytime TV shut down the rumours by taking to social media on Tuesday. She tweeted, "Just got a phone call that my name is trending. And being trolled for some awful FAKE thing. It's NOT TRUE. Haven't been raided, or arrested. Just sanitizing and self distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe everybody.🙏🏾"

The rumours started with a conspiracy theory about Oprah being arrested for sex trafficking after a report stated that former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who has received a 23-year sentence for rape and assault, got a shorter sentence in exchange for blowing the whistle on the supposed trafficking activities in the US.

The report also stated other celebrities like Tom Hanks, who is currently recovering from Coronavirus in Australia with Rita Willson, Steven Spielberg, Ellen DeGeneres, politicians Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and more.

Netizens on finding out about the rumour couldn't keep it calm, while several shared how shocked they were, others already knew not to believe the reports.
