Sorry- I first saw the price in pounds sterling and must have converted it to dollars inaccurately. Whether or not she is an animal activist, Winfrey is big on complaining about the poor-and spending that much for a purse while doing so( not to mention globetrotting) is hypocritical in my book.
If they knew she was the famous Oprah, then they knew she could afford the bag-and they were racist. So she should pull up her big girl panties and move on. You’re always going to meet someone who doesn’t like you for whatever reason, color is just one of them.
The shopkeeper was interviewed by the DailyMail and offered an apology; but she said the saleswoman is Italian and may not have the best command of English.
I'm fairly certain the salesperson had little to no idea of who Oprah is or what she's worth. Do you know who is a star in Italy or Switzerland? People on this forum seem to dismiss all that Oprah has accomplished as a woman in a tough business and in charitable giving because they don't like her politics. Unflattering to our side to be so (pardon) black and white about the person.
