With Oprah its ALWAYS about her..she looks at everything according to race, just like all liberals..a few days ago my Mom and I went to a local Mercedes Benz dealership because my Mom is looking for a new car, for 20 minutes we were ignored, finally after complaining about the horrible service someone came to us and assisted..we are both white, should we assume we were denied service because we are white, of course not..but with liberals, they look at EVERYTHING through race, because its in their DNA

What did she think was going to happen when she went on national TV and cried racism? The media was just going to ignore that??

No. She thought they'd believe it with no questions asked.

She had a similar incident about five years back when a store in Paris didn't let her in after they had closed.

Somehow the store wound up apologizing for this act of obvious racism. /s

Maybe O was trying for an instant replay.

This entire incident was carefully calculated by Winfrey to gin up publicity for her new movie. There was never any racism involved and Winfrey knew that. Billionaire Winfrey is more than willing to bully some sales clerk in this fashion to push her movie.

My own feeling is that Okrah went in there expecting to 1)be recognized 2)offered a free purse since 3)she can the talk up the store and the bags (without mentioning it was free to her) and the store would makes lots of money from her promoting them.

A new twist on that phony liberal apology, the one where an apology is offered only to those offended.

She appears to be apologizing to herself.

If I owned a store and recognized her I would tell her to get her fat arse off my property and then fade whatever heat.

Someone on the board noted this tirade coincides with the release of the Butler movie she’s in.

Trying to get some buzz going for the movie.

Which I will not see.

Apparently Oprah wanted the shop clerk to play “step and fetch it” for her and climb up to the top shelf and fetch that show purse that she wanted to look at but had no intention of buying — but the shop clerk wasn’t playing that game and that upset her royal hiney.

Passive-aggressive, NON-APOLOGY. Yep. That's exactly what it was.

Notice Oprah's projection? She's a mind reader. She could read the store clerks mind. I could think of a thousand innocent reasons for the store clerks actions but of course ORCA, the great mind reading whale, knows all.

'I didn't have anything that said "I have money": I wasn't wearing a diamond stud. I didn't have a pocketbook. I didn't wear Louboutin shoes. I didn't have anything,' she said.

'You should be able to go in a store looking like whatever you look like and say "I'd like to see this". That didn't happen.'

Her fat-a## has been kissed for ages so it is always ALL about her ALL the time.

The thing is she has been pulling this crap for decades, and she purposely dresses like a sleaze to goad these stores into acting PREJUDICE which is a huge difference from acting RACIST but she tags it as racist anyway. Maybe she should address why everytime I read about a robbery here in New York city almost always black people are involved instead of trying to tag prejudice actions as racist.

I hit reply and I am using an IPad and it sent a complaint report by mistake. No complaint was intended and I am sorry. Admin please ignore the report.

By their fruits you will know them and the Oprah is some seriously rotten fruit.

'I think that incident in Switzerland was just an incident in Switzerland. I'm really sorry that it got blown up.

'I purposefully did not mention the name of the store,' Winfrey said. 'I was just referencing it as an example of being in a place where people don't expect that you would be able to be there.’

How kind of "HER FATNESS" not to mention the clerk's name and "George Zimmerman" her.

The audience viewership of her show in Switzerland has gone down to zero! Oh wait, it’s always been zero.

'It's not an indictment against the country or even that store,' she continued. 'It was just one person who didn't want to offer me the opportunity to see the bag.

'So no apologies necessary from the country of Switzerland. If somebody makes a mistake in the United States do we apologize in front of the whole country? No!'

So no apology to the poor clerk.
