(TODAY) — Oprah Winfrey’s disturbing story from last Friday about being told by a Swiss store’s shop assistant that a handbag she wanted to look at was something she could not afford, is being called “untrue” by the sales clerk in question.
The sales clerk, whose name was only given as “Adriana N.” told the Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick that Winfrey’s story “absolutely untrue.”
“I even asked her if she wanted to take a closer look at the bag. Mrs. (sic) Winfrey looked around in the store again, but did not say anything further,” Adriana told the paper. “Then she went downstairs with her companion. My colleague held the door open for them. They were not even five minutes in our store.”
