Oprah Winfrey's mother says she shouldn't have to pay a nearly $156,000 debt to a high-end fashion store because store officials shouldn't have extended credit to her, told AP. Valentina Inc. alleges that Vernita Lee of Milwaukee racked up $155,547 in purchases and interest as of July 1. The company sued, saying Lee fell behind in minimum monthly payments of $2,000.Lee now filed a counterclaim contending that Valentina took advantage of her "lack of knowledge, ability or capacity" when creating her credit account. Court papers say Lee resolved a 2002 case with the company over a $175,000 bill. The resolution prohibited Valentina from extending further credit to her.
Simply put the store took advantage of her thing that her mega-star daughter, Oprah would foot her mother’s bill if she can’t pay.
