Even Black Famous  Billionaire’s Face Racism!

Oprah Winfrey dished on and unpleasant shopping experience while she while she was out in Zurich, Switzerland attending her friend/ singer, Tina Turner’s wedding.  While talking to Entertainment Tonight, Oprah said that she asked the clerk to see a particular luxury bag and the clerk responded:

“No, no, no,no, you don’t want to see that one. You want to see this one. Because that one will cost you too much, and you will not be able to afford that. “

Clearly, this woman was unaware of who Oprah Winfrey is. Oprah replied:

Well I did really want to see that one Ans she refused to get it – she tells ET.

Oprah went on to share her experience on twitter; telling fans:

“Just found out that the bag was $38K! She was right I was NOT going to buy it. Other than the handbag diss. I had a GREAT time in Zurich!”

After word spread about, Daniela Baer of Swiss tourism apologized; telling the NY post:

“We are very sorry for what happened to her, of course, because we think all of our guests and clients should be treated respectfully, in a professional way.”

The boutique store owner issued an apology and noted that the incident was all a big “miscommunication”.
