OPRAH-THE-RACE-BAITER: Oprah Says She Was Dissed at Swiss Store, Clerk says She’s Lying, Oprah Back Pedals

The Trois Pommes sales assistant said over the weekend that she felt ‘powerless’ and in the grip of a ‘cyclone’ after Winfrey went on TV in America to make the claim.

‘I wasn’t sure what I should present to her when she came in on the afternoon of Saturday, July 20, so I showed her some bags from the Jennifer Aniston collection.

‘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 Oprah the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag.  

‘She looked around the store again but didn’t say anything else. Then she went with her companion to the lower floor. My colleague saw them to the door. They were not even in the store for five minutes.’

The store clerk emphatically denied ever saying to Winfrey: ‘You don’t want to see this bag. It is too expensive.  You cannot afford it.’
