Oprah’s New Grapefruit
Talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey is describing the most humiliating moment of her life recently, saying the French store Heremes denied her access to the up-scale shoppe on her recent visit. Proving once again that viewers of her show are nothing more than grapefruit, the backlash has started as the millions of Oprah viewers send nasty emails and letters to the boutique.
Nevermind that she tried to enter the store at 6:45PM when the store closes at 6:30PM. Oprah claims there were others shopping in the store and the security and staff would not let her in.
WTF?!
How many times have you shown up at a business, or a bank, and have had the doors locked but the remaining patrons are still checking out? More times than I can count. But that isn’t good enough for Oprah. Nope. Stores need to LET HER IN, because she’s a celebrity.
On ABC’s Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer called the incident another case of “Have a nice day racism.”
Racism? For not letting somebody in after-hours?
This just goes to prove that celebrities like Oprah have had doors opened to them (pun intended) that others have not. They have lived the good life and everybody bowing to their whim so long, that when somebody DOESN’T bend over backwards, suddenly its because she’s black. Or she’s a woman.
Come on!!!
It was AFTER BUSINESS HOURS for crying out loud.
According to a close friend, she is going to talk about the incident on an upcoming episode of her talk show. Big surprise. Hermes has even cracked under the pressure and issued an apology to the superstar. An apology for not opening the store especially for her?
As John Stossel says… Give Me a Break!
