Sarah Ferguson: Drunk and Taking Bribes
by Free Britney at .Sarah Ferguson, a.k.a. Fergie, a.k.a. Britain's Duchess of York, says she was drinking and "not in my right place" when she was caught in a sting operation.
The set-up? Ferg was caught on video offering access to her former husband, Prince Andrew, for $724,000. She told Oprah Winfrey she was "in the gutter."
"I'm aware of the fact that I've been drinking, you know. I was not in my right place," Sarah Ferguson said in an interview set to air on Oprah on Tuesday.
Ferguson said she had seen the video while traveling through airports recently but had not sat down to watch closely: "I haven't faced the devil in the face."
According to transcripts of the show, the Duchess says "I was in the gutter at that moment." We're inclined to believe it, given the accusations in this case.
TROUBLED DUCHESS: Sarah Ferguson has some explaining to do.
Tape of the sting was posted by London's News of the World, which set up the meeting. Ferguson asks for $40,000 cash and 500,000 pounds ($718,500).
In exchange for that wire transfer, she agrees to introduce the paper's undercover reporter to the prince - reportedly under the guise of a business meeting.
"I can open any door you want," Ferguson reportedly said in the video.
The newspaper's big sting operation has caused a major embarrassment for the 50-year-old Sarah Ferguson, who has a pair of daughters with Prince Andrew.
Andrew is the second son of Queen Elizabeth and fourth in line to the throne. The prince is also known as the Duke of York. The couple divorced in 1996.
He acts as Britain's special representative for international trade and investment, so surely this can't be going over well across the pond. More to come.

Aww...I remember when Fergie was classy. This makes me so sad!
Gooooooooo Fergie, keep them rockin' they never know what you will do next, we have always loved you so what do we care if they try to mess with your reputation. You are exciting and that is why we love you.
duh who cares about her.. i like Fergie BEP she rocks!
No doubt she was sober when offered the bribes but somewhat tipsy when it officially happened. When one is desperate, who knows what that person will do for money. She lived too lavishly and it caught up with her along with bad investments. She should have remarried Andrew and just settled down to a married life with 2 daughters.
It is sad when somebody is so greedy that they sell father of their own children. I bet Oprah paid her a lot of money for that fake remorseful confession. Let's face it that woman only knows one thing and that is how to spend money she hasn't earned. I don't see why bribery is not punishable by law. It should be - because violating boundaries in a way she did is certainly a criminal act in my eyes.
