Okay, I am seriously disturbed by this article. Take a second to read it and then come back.
So Oprah arrives at a store a full 15 minutes after it closes and is denied service. Apparently, they had a shindig they were prepping for, and basically the inconvenience of letting Oprah and her entourage shop was not as important as said shindig.
You would think that would be it. Any other person would have moved to the next shop and be done with it. But here is Oprah's version of Turtle (from HBO's Entourage, if your not watching it, you should be) Gayle King throwing down the race card and comparing it with the movie Crash. Gayle King is a no talent "journalist" who used to anchor the news in the Hartford, CT market. Apparently she and Oprah have been friends for years and she is always on Oprah's coattail.
And King reports that Oprah says it is one of the most humiliating moments of her life? Really? Get a grip on reality. Be pissed that you were denied access. You believe it was personal decision not to let you in? Ok. But to be humiliated by this? Please! You think this was a racial incident? That is an insult to anyone who has been REALLY discriminated against. Your "humiliation" is that your stature wasn't enough to cause the rules to change. You know what, Winfrey, tough shit. To compare your "plight" with the situations in Crash is so offensive. Your company actually is calling it her "Crash moment"? I think your reaction to this will go down as your biggest humiliation. How skewed does your perspective have to be?
It must be those $6500 handbags.
As always, comments are welcomed.
