  • Oprah Winfrey’s mum settles clothing store lawsuit

    SPL136207_005

    Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey’s mum has settled a lawsuit with a high-end clothing store.

    Vernita Lee allegedly owed Milwaukee’s Valentina Inc $155,000, seven years after a $174,000 shopping spree at the same shop got her into trouble.

    Lee was sued in July 2008 by the store and was ordered to pay them $2,000 a month to settle her debt.

    But that was challenged by her lawyers, who claimed that Lee had been extended another line of credit despite the 2002 bill of $174,000, which she was sued for and eventually paid.

    Details of the latest settlement have not been made public, but Lee will reportedly make a “partial payment” to the store.

    “We’re happy with what transpired. It’s over,” said Valentina co-owner Tony Chirchirillo.
