How pretentious! Let me see, I'm a celebrity - if you don't let me in after closing hours - I'll call you a racist!

[Chi-townChief]

It's all Bush's fault.

Imagine, being turned away from Hermes is more humiliating than the girlhood rape she experienced.

I thought Oprah shopped at T J Max?

"Oprah describes it herself as 'one of the most humiliating moments of her life.' "

Oooohhh I was refused entry into a high-end boutique....WHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Cry me a freakin river....

[TightyRighty]

Don't forget Costco!

"Oprah describes it herself as 'one of the most humiliating moments of her life."



Falls under the "get the hell over yourself you stuck up, pretentious b*tch!" catagory

[SaveTheChief]

I'm not sure which is more amusing - the fact that this happened in France, or that it happened to Oprah.

[Reagan79]

Who cares?

[Tallguy]

I have a suggestion for Oprah: get even. If you truly feel that your were humiliated, take a few of your millions and buy this company. Then you can 'humiliate' them back by publicly firing everyone who worked at the boutique that night.

This is a great two-fer. Oprah can strike a blow for her own self-esteem --- at the expense of the French.

It's closed!

Go to Burger King and cool down, ya cow.

Anyone noticed that the stories have stopped mentioning that spokesmen for Hermes said they were hesitant to let her in because of problems with "North Africans"?

Damned If I Know

'I will shop where people appreciate my business, and I don't believe that any longer includes Hermes.' "

I say, bravo Oprah!

High time Hermes and other "exclusive" places of business learned a lesson.

[goodnesswins]

I'm sure all the little people who watch her show, buy her magazine, etc.....will be REALLY impressed by THIS....NOT. Can you say PRIMA DONA?

[TightyRighty]

I think it's hilarious when people respond "Who cares?" to a thread they've clicked on.

You know, "Who cares about this thread that I've taken the time to hit, read and post on."

[ken5050]

Good catch..and it was racial profiling..

[brwnsuga]

Obviously, Hermes doesn't understand Oprah's power, but they will.......... oh, they will.......

[peacebaby]

Oprah buy Hermes? What an entertaining idea, Tallguy!

[latina4dubya]

Don't forget Costco!

and Wal-Mart... didn't she decorate a home using all Wal-Mart products?

The exclusive purses can cost as much as $6,500 and Winfrey reportedly already owns a dozen of them.
