Oprah’s Mom Still On The Hook
Paying bills is not one of Oprah’s mom’s favorite things…
Popsquire reported a few weeks ago that Valentina, a Milwaukee clothing boutique, is suing Oprah’s mom, Vernita Lee, for allegedly failing to pay her tab worth more than $155,000. Recently, the parties attended mediation to settle the dispute, but they were unable to resolve the case, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Now, Vernita has filed a counterclaim, arguing that the boutique never should have extended credit to her. The parties allegedly resolved a 2002 case over a $175,000 bill, and the court ordered the store not to provide Vernita with any more credit. Vernita claims the company extended her credit anyway, taking advantage of her “lack of knowledge, ability, and-or capacity” when creating her credit account.”
