From the story I read, the store closed at 6:30 and she got there at 6:45. They were having some kind of event there and the store was closed. I don't see how she can be offended. Her spokesman said she was "humiliated" and will be discussing her "Crash" moment with her TV audience -- in other words, she'll be claiming it was a racial incident.

That's Oprah. Just one of the common people.

It was one of the most humiliating moments of her life.

If that doesn't win the award for overreaction of the week, I don't know what will.

I think they'll survive. Oprah lives in Oprah-land and has done so for quite sometime now. If that was the most humiliating experience of her life, then I weep for how pathetic and shallow her life must be. |

Supposedly the person who turned her away told he that they have had problems with "North Africans" I suppose that makes her humiliation claims a bit more legitimate. But, yeah, I grow tired of celebs expecting special treatment as well.

As opposed to what "South Africans". Why would anyone make such a statement.

North Africans = Code for Moroccans, Algerians, etc. From what I understand, they're the ethnicities facing the most prejudice in France.

Oprah seems to believe that she deserves "special" consideration........... just as a lot of other persons/celebs seem to believe.... and becoming vocal about it, they get something they really want...........attention.......
Some just seem to be unable to accept that they aren't as special as THEY think.........
