Oprah Gets Racist 'Pretty Woman' Treatment at Pricey Swiss Boutique
Latest
Oprah was recently shopping in Zurich (while in town for Tina Turner’s wedding) when she popped into an upscale boutique wanting to have a look at a Tom Ford handbag. The salesgirl was all, “It’s very expensive.” And Oprah was all, “Look, I’ve got money to spend in here.” But the salesgirl didn’t believe her. Big mistake. Huge.
Oprah wanted to take a look at a $38,000 crocodile bag, but the salesgirl kept telling her that she could’t afford it. Ironically, the owner of the boutique in question, Trois Pommes, was also a guest at Tina Turner’s wedding. (That must’ve been an awkward Venetian hour.) She has since apologized, but denies that the incident had anything to do with racism.
