Viral TikTok video claiming FBI raid on Oprah Winfrey debunked due to lack of evidence

While a viral video claimed that Oprah Winfrey's house had been raided, this assertion has been proven false, as the TikTok video lacks any evidence that the FBI conducted a raid or issued an arrest warrant in her name.

Notably, the talk show host's name has not been associated with Diddy's ongoing legal issues. Additionally, no official media sources or major news outlets have verified any of the claims presented in the video.

This comes after a rumor that circulated online last month, suggesting that Oprah Winfrey's longtime friend and associate, Gayle King, was suing her over alleged ties to Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing federal case.

The rumor initially surfaced on a Facebook gossip page focused on Black celebrities. However, Snopes later debunked the claim, labeling it as false and attributing it to an unreliable source known for spreading misinformation and parodic content.

The outlet also highlighted that the rumor was computer-generated and AI-narrated, emphasizing that there are no credible reports of Gayle King ever filing a lawsuit against Oprah.
