Oprah In Paris: Only Window Shopping

African Queen OprahAP reports: “The luxury store Hermes has apologized to Oprah Winfrey for turning her away from one of its Paris boutiques last week, saying it was closed for a public relations event when she came knocking.”

In Paris. Of course.

The talk-show host and “an entourage” unsuccessfully tried to enter an Hermes boutique on Paris’ posh Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore at 6:45 p.m. on June 14, Hermes said in a statement.

People were in the store and they were shopping. Oprah was at the door and she was not allowed into the store,” Gayle King, a friend of Winfrey who witnessed the incident, told syndicated TV show “Entertainment Tonight.” “Oprah describes it herself as `one of the most humiliating moments of her life.’”

Such travails of the bourgeois

Did they not recognize her as an African Queen?

Peasants!

    Well, I guess money doesn’t buy you everything. Not to be cruel, but Oprah should be humilitated if she expects the world to stop everytime she enters a store. I’m glad Hermes allowed customers ton continue on with their shopping. They have as much right as Oprah to be there.

    I wish to point out that Oprah’s programmes in English are not transmitted on French TV and she is virtually uknown to an average French sales clerk or even store manager.
