The Swiss shopgirl at the centre of controversy for allegedly refusing to show Oprah Winfrey a purse, claiming she couldn't afford it, is defending herself - clumsily.
The woman denies Winfrey's claim, says that never happened and there was definitely no racism involved in their encounter.
The clerk, who spoke anonymously, [said] she feels "powerless" in the face of the prominent media mogul's accusations. "I don't know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl."
"I don't know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV."
Her comments were apparently translated. Lots of room for misinterpretation.
ReplyDeleteI think the word "cannibal" probably translates pretty clearly.
