Winfrey joked that she had been tempted to buy up the entire store, recalling a scene in the movie “Pretty Woman” where Julia Roberts’ prostitute character has the last laugh in a snobbish shop.
“I wanted to create a Pretty Woman moment and come back and buy everything and say, ‘Big mistake!’. But then I thought she’d get a commission, to let’s not do that,” she told King.
Goetz said no disciplinary action was planned against the saleswoman.
“She’s a great person. She’s highly qualified. She also works in the shop in St Moritz and she takes care of prestigious clients,” she said.
Trois Pommes was still considering how to respond to the claims, and would take legal advice, she added.
Winfrey, 59, was last month named the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes.
