OOOOO I am so ticked at this. They are now saying that race may have played a part in Oprah's being turned away from Hermes. Link

Anyone else coming in after a store is closed would be treated the same way. It really irks me that some celebs think they should get treated differently than the rest of us. Yes she has millions and does a lot of good charity things but come on. Get to the store before closing or shop somewhere else. [Grumble]

I agree - it's not like the store refused to accomodate Oprah and then turned around and did serve white customers. I mean, the store was closed for heaven's sake.

The article mentioned that the store's video tape supported their story, that they explained what was going on, gave her a card and asked her to come back when the store was open.

I don't see a problem with that.

I don't either. Why are they making such a big fuss about it?

Cause it's Oprah, it's a bookstore, she's angry because someone didn't treat her special, and she can easily take revenge.

Its not a bookstore is it? I thought it was like a Macys but the Hermes brand....

regardless she needs to humble herself a bit....
