Trudie goetz biography of mahatma

Oprah has been the center of much controversy about a run-in she had with an employee in what was revealed to be Trois Pomme, a retail shop in Zurich.

It was a real misunderstanding. You will not be able to afford that. My saleswoman just wanted to do her best. Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion. Please keep comments relevant and respectful.

While visiting Switzerland for the wedding of mega-star singer, Tina Turner, she decided to indulge in some private shopping, where she encountered a store clerk who refused to show her a Swiss franc crocodile handbag deemed “too expensive for her,” Oprah shared with Entertainment Tonight. She even asked to see the bag two other times, but was still refused, being offered cheaper handbags to review.

Once, the employee even told Oprah, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings.” Oprah openly acknowledged that racism still exists; however, the shop calls the encounter a “ percent misunderstanding.”

According to Entertainment Tonight, Oprah still received a sincere apology from Switzerland tourism officials. “Switzerland Tourism is deeply sorry to learn about the experience Ms.

Winfrey recently had in Switzerland, and we apologize that her feelings were hurt. We would like to assure Ms. Winfrey—like any visitor to Switzerland—that she is welcome with open arms,” they apologized. Oprah did not let the incident ruin her trip or her impression of Zurich.

Trudie goetz biography of mahatma Winfrey says she was the victim of racism at a designer handbag boutique during a visit to Switzerland last month for the wedding of her friend Tina Turner, who lives at a lakeside chateau in Zurich. Winfrey volunteered the story as part of a debate about racism for the celebrity news show Entertainment Tonight. You will not be able to afford it. But… [racism] still exists. Of course it does.

She tweeted, “Turns out the store clerk did me a favor. Just found out that bag was #38K!!! She was right I was NOT going to buy it.” Oprah was still satisfied with her trip, tweeting, “Other than the handbag diss. I had a GREAT time in Zurich. Best spa ever doldergran.

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.

Would love to experience again.” Oprah handled the situation correctly, and Entertainment Tonight acknowledges this by saying, “Instead of raising a ruckus about how she was treated, she left the shop without buying the bag because she didn&#;t want to give the employee a commission.”

Rueters reports, the store&#;s owner, Trudie Goetz, denies any racial discrimination was done, sharing, “This is an absolute classic misunderstanding.

The sales assistant wanted to show Winfrey that the purse was also available in other materials, which may have given the TV host the impression the shop didn&#;t want to sell her the purse. Of course that&#;s not the case. Who wouldn&#;t want to sell a purse for 35, francs?&#;

According to Forbes magazine, Oprah reportedly made $77 million the last year alone, which solidifies that she could have bought the purse more than threefold without a small dent in her wallet.

Goetz has since apologized in later reports and credits the misunderstanding to the fact that the employee did not recognize who Oprah was.

Oprah told Entertainment Tonight this week that while in Zurich, Switzerland for Tina Turner's wedding in July, she walked into a shop and a handbag behind the counter caught her eye. It's too expensive. I said, 'But I really do just want to see that one,' and the shopkeeper said, 'Oh, I don't want to hurt your feelings,' and I said, 'Okay, thank you so much. You're probably right, I can't afford it.

Swiss newspaper, Blick, quotes Goetz who said, “We don&#;t have any facial recognition here.” Christian Trottmann, corporate communications head of Zurich Tourism, told CBSNews about travelers who may consider (or re-consider) a visit to Zurich, “You&#;ll find here very friendly people. We are, I would say, quite an open-minded city.

We are used to having people from all nations and all cultures.”
