The 59 year old media mogul and currently Forbes' top 100 most powerful celebrity in the world narrated how she was a victim of racism during her visit to Zurich for her long time friend Tina Turner’s wedding last month.
Oprah had gone into a pricy store, Trois Pommes, to purchase a $34k handbag but to her dismay the shop assistant refused to serve her telling her she could not afford it... Read below what she told Entertainment Tonight about the racist incident;
‘I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is not shown in Zurich. I go into a store and I say to the woman, excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head? and she says to me, No. It’s too expensive.’
