发帖数: 29576 | 1 '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
* Sale assistant said she feels 'powerless' after the racism accusations
* Oprah Winfrey claimed assistant refused to show her a handbag because
it was 'too expensive'
* Speaking anonymously, shop worker said claims were 'absurd'
The sales assistant who refused to show U.S. talkshow billionaire Oprah
Winfrey a luxury handbag costing nearly £25,000 claims the superstar
lied about what happened in the luxury Swiss boutique where she works.
Speaking anonymously to Sunday newspaper SonntagsBlick, the Italian bag lady
said she felt 'powerless' and in the grip of a 'cyclone' after Winfrey went
on TV in America to claim she had been the victim of racism.
Winfrey was in Switzerland in July when she walked into the Trois Pommes
boutique in Zurich looking for a handbag to match the outfit she was going
to wear to old friend Tina Turner's wedding.
She claims the sales assistant refused to show her the black crocodile
leather bag because - seeing a black woman - she automatically assumed she
would not be able to afford it.
Now the saleslady has hit back, stating: '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 her 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.'
She emphatically denied ever saying to Winfrey: 'You don't want to see this
bag. It is too expensive. You cannot 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.
'We work really hard to greet all the people who come into the store with
the same level of respect and treat them all equally.
'If someone asks me whether he or she can see an article, I always present
these. Because that person is a potential buyer. And my job is to sell it.
'I'm glad if I can sell an article. It is a reward for me, if I can sell a
nice piece. This means that I'm good at my job.'
She has worked in the store for five years, says 50 per cent of the
clientele come from abroad and that a bag costing nearly £25,000 is
sold 'only a few times a year.'
Asked what she would say to Oprah now she added: 'I would apologize and say
it was all a misunderstanding. I surely did not intentionally want to
insult Ms. Winfrey. I hope this nightmare ends soon.'

发帖数: 29576 | 35 Passive Aggressive Oprah Gives BS Apology for Switzerland Racist Flap
Oprah Winfrey says she's kinda sorta "sorry" for the fallout that ensued
after she told the media about a "racist" encounter at a purse store in
Switzerland ... saying, "I'm really sorry that it got blown up."
Yeah, right.
Oprah addressed the media at the premiere of "The Butler" in L.A. last night
-- backpedaling after the shop in question started to refute O's
allegations of racism during an incident last month.
The shop owner says the whole thing was a "misunderstanding" and had "
nothing to do with racism."
Last night, Oprah said ... "I think that incident in Switzerland was just an
incident in Switzerland. I'm really sorry that it got blown up. I
purposefully did not mention the name of the store. I'm sorry that I said it
was Switzerland."
Problem is ... O's full of it. What did she think was going to happen when
she went on national TV and cried racism? The media was just going to ignore
that??
Oprah once ragged on hamburgers and single-handedly CRIPPLED the beef
industry. She knew damn well how the media was going to handle the
Switzerland situation ... which is why she went to the media in the first
place. Her mission was to destroy the shop.
There are some people who are saying Oprah's Swiss encounter wasn't really
about race -- Oprah was just mad she wasn't treated like Her Royal O-ness
because the shop employee didn't recognize her ... but now, after the
employee told the media she's being unfairly attacked, O's feeling a little
guilty.
But pretending not to know about the impact of her race allegations?? That's
like Obama pretending not to know what's gonna happen if he pushes that big
red button in the White House.
C'mon O ... you're smarter than that. And so are we. |
