Oprah snubbed
 

I'm watching CNN "90 second pop" and Oprah wasn't let into a trendy shop to buy a $6,500 bag, that's fucked up. Not the first time it happened to her. Some people still have serious issues.

shit happends eh..

maybe they didn't want a fat chick knockin' crap over in the store

I though she lost weight?

Why was she refused?

It had to do w/ her being black. The shop was having alot of North Africans causing problems in the store or somethign to that effect.

6500$ bags... does they exist??

Yep, some are more. This was a Hermes Birkin bag... I'm a guy, I know to much about this shit, lol. That's not the point, the point is the co said, Yea.. we know it's her and still didn't let her in. Even if she wasn't famous, it's fucked up on so many levels.

Thoses darkies are known to steal shit

another reason to hate france.

who fucking cares?

A big Oprah fan are ya?

ah fuck her. cant get special treatment all the time.

that's funny. special treatment, lol. she wanted to shop for a bag and was denied access to the shop... you figure out the reason. most people in the thread got it

You're kidding, right? Or did you just bother not to read what happened and decided to make that ignorant statement?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh your right,keep everyone with money out!

so what if she's black? she has $$$$$$ :eek2

these people are very odd

it looks like they were having a store meeting or a store party..and the store was not even open for sales....she bust in saying she's important and got turned away....then they realized who she was and tried to get her back


fuckin drama queen and the american media trying to drum up hate towards France

i smell lawsuit

:smokin

I smell a show on Oprah dealing w/ how racism is still going on all over the world.

not the slightest bit, i just dont like france.

Oh, idiot, right.

Thats just wrong :disgust

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I can't see not letting Oprah into anything. She should have slapped her Amex Black card on the window. That always works! I hear it's good for shoe shopping, too, but you'd have ask CCBill Stephanie about that.

:thumbsup

Brad

That will get them a little negative PR...lol

just for Oprah to get even, she will buy the store out of business :1orglaugh

:smokin

now the store owner begging apology from Oprah .. just too late to save his shop :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

lmao you took the words right out of my mouth

CEO of Hermes has called Winfrey's people to explain "the situation" and invited her to come back to shop in the store.

LOL

Yea, I see this happening and I also see a possible boycott. Blacks and other minorities are major shoppers of designer labels. Once they get hit with a financial loss and negative PR, maybe some attitudes will change.

That damn Oprah has been known to steal and cause trouble in stores. Good for them.


... or not.

What does this $6,500 bag look like? :D

damn racist...anything new?

"incident occurred on June 14 around 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes after the store closed"

closed is closed so for Oprah, bitch :321GFY

They've narrowed it down to a certain part of Africa these people are coming from? That's pretty good detective work.

LOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The store was Hermes...

I would kill for an Hermes handbag...

lol, I told my girl about the Oprah story and she had no idea. I told her I was gonna take her to the store, but we're not getting shit

"The spokeswoman said Winfrey came to the store 15 minutes after closing and a security guard informed her the store was closed and gave her a card, telling her she could come back the next day.

Surveillance videotape of the encounter supports the store's account, according to the spokeswoman."

People don't let me into stores after they're closed either.

I so doubt it was because she was black. Why does everyone always jump on that tired train? Cripes. Let that shit go.

Yea, it's around 6k for an Hermes Birkin bag, that is just crazy even worse than Louis Vuitton... I am also sick of everyome and their mom carrying around their fake Louis Vuitton (and I mean ugly fakes) and thinking their hot shit but that's another topic...

Here is a picture of Kate Moss with her Birkins, apparently she has 4 :Hollering

I guess releasing the surveillance tape could vindicate the store or condemn them depending on what it shows.

"What I heard is they had a party at Hermes and she somehow was able to get in, but they told her she had to go out because this store was not open," said Goran Mikic.

Mikic added that once the workers at Hermes realized who Winfrey was, she was invited back inside.

:1orglaugh

oh well, Oprah just have to try another store! not a big issue to dig in brotha!

It's always a race issue when the American Negro doesn't get what it wants. :1orglaugh
