Oprah Winfrey is facing a lawsuit over claims she has upset hikers by blocking trails through a piece of land she owns in Colorado.
The mogul purchased 66 acres of land close to Telluride in March, and local resident Charles D. Goodman has now filed a lawsuit accusing O and her associates of failing to protect access to footpaths.
In the legal documents, filed at San Miguel County District Court, Goodman claims the trails through the land have been protected in previous sale deals and should remain open to the public.
He tells TMZ, “I have no objection to Oprah to building a house. But I do not like the idea of being blocked off by gates and fences.”
A rep for Winfrey adds, “It is our hope that we can work together on a usage plan that is mutually agreeable.”
