Oprah的Hermes事件是這樣的:
From NYdailynews
The source says Oprah arrived just after 6:30 p.m., when there were still shoppers inside the store. According to the source, Oprah politely asked an Hermès sales clerk if she could dash in. She knew what she wanted: a specific watch for Tina Turner, her dinner partner that evening. Instead, she was rebuffed - first by the clerk, then by a store manager.
Though Oprah hasn`t accused the Gauls of racism, her friend suggests, "If it had been Celine Dion or Britney Spears or Barbra Streisand, there is no way they would not be let in that store."
Hermès` brusque treatment understandably came as a shock to someone who recently bought a dozen of the store`s Birkin bags, which can run $6,500. In fact, Oprah had just ordered another one. After last weekend, she canceled that order. We also hear she`s called Robert Chavez, president of Hermès in America, to inform him that, although she has long enjoyed his stores, she will no longer be shopping there. We also hear she may share the incident with her 22 million-plus viewers.
