full title............'Oprah's a liar': Sales assistant in Swiss racist handbag row denies telling TV host that she could not view item because she couldn't afford it

The saleslady went on: 'This is not true. This is absurd. I would never say something like that to a customer. Really never. Good manners and politeness are the Alpha and the Omega in this business.

'I don't know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl.

'I didn't hurt anyone. I don't know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV.

'If it had all taken place as she claimed, why has she not complained the next day at the wedding of Tina Turner with Trudie Goetz, my boss? She was there also at the Turner wedding as a guest. I don't understand it.

'I spoke to Oprah Winfrey in English. My English is okay but not excellent, unfortunately.

'I didn't know who she was when she came into the store. That wouldn't have made any difference if I had.

In the late ‘70’s, I met Gloria Swanson in an airport where we struck up a conversation. At one point, she reared back her head and asked if I knew who she was. I paused, and looked at her very closely. The light left her eyes, and her face fell when I innocently but naively replied, “I’m not sure, but i think you were famous a long time ago.”

She decided that her enterauge had other places to be than talking this 20 year old guy.

Methinks Orca made this up to promote her new movie.

Ding!!! There's the winner. I thought that I saw her in a commercial for some movie or other. Sho' nuff, "The Butler" comes out on August 16th.

This also explains why the incident was sat upon for a few weeks.

I have me never met a Swede that does not speak perfect English. This is very plausible.

You would think this store would have really good security cameras if they sell $35,000 purses.

She didn’t recognize Oprah. That was her offense.

Most likely to be the true reason.

The whole things smells of celebrity ego and pettiness.

Conclusion? Not only are we not allowed to dislike black people if they are flaming arseholes, we can now no longer commit the hate crime of not recognizing them and failing to be properly obsequious.

Racist millionaire 0prah busted and exposed as the snooty elitist with a chip on her shoulder that she is, making up lies about a poor shop girl in Switzerland for her own purposes.

This is at the same time that she ignorantly declared thug Trayvon Martin the 'same thing' as Emmit Till.

O must be feeling ignored and her street cred challenged. EPIC FAIL.

The Swedish thread is that-a-way, this is about another part of the world.

The real story here is that billionaire Oprah Winfrey bullied a lowly shop clerk and told lies about her.

Lefties are by nature bullies. They cannon help themselves.

And a bully at the helm of a government is a fascist.

This is just another example of liberals embellishing stories, or even making them up, to push their crappy agenda.

The thing is Oprah has been pulling this BS since the '80s, it's nothing new. What she does is dress down, and go into these stores looking for trouble "Yo! Lemme see day $39,000 dollar bag biotch!"

I knew Okra was lying. I heard the audio on the radio of her telling the story and just listening to her tell it you could discern it was rubbish.

Oprah’s got a huge chip on her shoulder. No matter how much money she makes she always going to fat and ugly. Period.

What I like is her former assistant from a few years back saying that when Oprah is out of the spotlight she’s a completely different person and refers to herself in the 3rd person. “Oprah doesn’t do that, Oprah don’t do this” She’s a biotch which is why Rae Dawn Chong was bashing her a few weeks ago.
