That's a lie, the anonymous sales clerk says according to the UK Daily Mail, adding she's felt "powerless" as a result of the media barrage following the incident.
I explained to her the bags came in different sizes and materials, like I always do.
'She looked at a frame behind me. Far above there was the 35,000 Swiss franc crocodile leather bag.
'I simply told her that it was like the one I held in my hand, only much more expensive, and that I could show her similar bags.
'It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag.

That’s what the congregants learn attending United Trinity Church and listening to sermons from Jeremiah Wright and his brand of black liberation theology. Oprah is just one of the many devoted disciples.
Oprah’s ratings were way down and her OWN station sucked...so she has to get her fan base back!!
Normal loss prevention procedures.
Your "story" doesn't fit the narrative.
Except her fan base, who made her rich, was white women.
The sales lady just doesn’t get it, the fact that Orifice Winfrey is black and the sales lady is white, makes the sales lady racist...that’s just the way it is.
How dare they accuse Onoprah of being poor!
Next we will find that Winfrey gets the clerk fired (or maybe we won’t find out).
“Powerless” is an interesting choice of words, and I agree-being the object of a media frenzy must be akin to an attack by a flock of angry birds, with both ends of the bird being busy at once;) Why can’t they swarm like that when a Progressive tells a LIE? I guess they’d wear themselves out from exhaustion;)
One can’t expect to go into a store and paw a $38000 item without collateral.
Truth comes out.
Oprah’s movie THE BUTLER, comes out in two weeks.
THIS ACCU$ATION I$ ABOUT BU$INE$$.
Fits perfectly with the theme.
DUHHHHHH......
Gosh. Another lying negro with a chip on the shoulder.
Who would have thought.
Did Opry sport a hoodie?
Liberals think they are loved and superior in the world. This is false. I can tell you that for sure, black Americans right now are the laughing stock of the world thanks to Oprah and Obama.
This is zactly the same as Beiber wearing the gas-mask and peeing in that bucket the other day:
His traditional demographic has been LITTLE KIDS and as he ages he must transition to an older demo that “understands” the “troubled young man who is growing up” B.S.
The boy is an INVESTMENT PROPERTY, just like Oprah —his troubles are carefully orchestrated business decisions.
Oprah here is prepping a public conceptual template for the roll-out of her movie in two weeks.
THIS IS ALL BUSINESS.
So the clerk got punished for trying to help her BET style get a better deal. Wow... Talk about hate. Oprah is definitely a piece of human stool, or her brains at the very least.
Good. About time people quit believing every slight, injury, or perceived snub is racism.
Sick of it.
Let me guess.
The “Butler” is behind every civil rights advancement over five Presidencies.
Sort of like Forrest Gump serves dinner.
Good for the Swiss clerk for standing up for herself.
Oh, & good luck finding a new job. For now that Oprah has been called a liar, I expect the Four Horsemen to descend on this poor woman from a self-important bully.
NOw we know Oprah has swiss bank accounts most probably. Time to call the IRS.
Let’s get it ON!!
Real Crocodile?
Has PETA made a statement yet? ;)
That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time!!!!!
I think Oprah wanted to launder money gangster style and she felt embarassed by the whole ordeal and is now trying to go around the situation. These super expensive bags are solely used to pass money around.
someone calling Oprah a liar?
Troops on full alert!
This is PC War!
Words and thoughts mean something.
/s
And Oprah will be big enough to apologize for the misunderstanding...
Nailed it, gaijin.
LOL!
Calling all vegans and animal rights activists! Oprah wants handbags made from dead crocodiles! She violates their civil rights!
If you’re going to shop in Zurich, make sure the Churman-shpeaking clerk unterstants you.
Mz opy.....we peasants may be poor and we may not be able to buy $38,000 purses but we DO NOT BOW DOWN to you or any of your self absorbed arrogant ilk..
Ooooh, The Orpah gettin no ‘spect in the hill country.
Thanks - I hadn’t even thought of that angle. I love it when they hoist with their own petard. ;-)
Someone who is looking for Racism will always find it because someone looking for racism necessarily defines it as whatever happens.
The Swiss aren’t afraid of “Her Blackness”.
She is just another customer to them.
Oprah upset because the clerk did not kiss her ring and genuflect.
oprah may get her fan base back but there is NO WAY she can fit her fat a$$ in the crocodile leather bag.:-)
I mean, seriously, was Oprah flashing a SNAP card or something?
No matter how much money she has, shes still a shallow, cheap opportunist playing on peoples emotions and perpetuating racial divisions. I hope her new movie fails.
and Oprah said Obama is smart also...another lie..and how would she know, his grades are all locked up..he has a big secret he doesn’t want anyone to know..so HE COVERS UP..TYPICAL LIAR..
AND OPRAH NEED TO GET OVER HER SELF..SHE IS NOT POPULAR ANY LONGER..JUST RICH AND STUCK ON HER SELF..
Oh crap, Sharpton and Jackson will be whimpering about “shopping while black” now.
