Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has sworn never to return to any Hermes' store after being turned away from its Paris outlet.
Winfrey has also called up the president of Hermes in America to notify him on her decision to never to shop there again, reports Internet Movie Database.
This was in response to an apology offered by the store's management earlier this week after Winfrey was refused entry to the luxury store June 14.
Winfrey had gone there to shop for her singer friend Tina Turner. The shop was supposedly closed for a public relations meting.
Oprah's close friend, Gayle King, who was present at the time said: "People were in the store and they were shopping. Oprah was at the door and she was not allowed into
the store... It was one of the most humiliating moments of her life."
She said Winfrey was upset at the weak apology offered by Hermes because "it implies that nothing offensive happened".
