Johannesburg, South Africa (AHN) – Television talk show host Oprah Winfrey has settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Nomvuho Mzamane, the former headmistress of a South Africa girl’s school set up by the entertainment mogul.

In the suit, Mzamane said Winfrey made disparaging remarks about her in 2007 after an alleged sex abuse scandal at the school. Mzamane claimed she had problems finding a job in the wake of Winfrey’s remarks, reports stated.

According to reports, both women met Tuesday to settle their differences.

Details of the settlement were not made public.

Winfrey was scheduled to testify at a trial on the charges next week in Philadelphia, according to reports.

The school opened in 2007 in Johannesburg, costing $40 million.

Oprah, a victim of child abuse herself, funded the school after meeting with former South African President Nelson Mandela in 2002.
