Oprah’s mother files a countersuit
A word to the wise. Don’t mess with Oprah’s mother. In July, Oprah’s mom Vernita Lee was sued by a fashion store for not paying her bill of $155,547.
But now, Vernita has filed a countersuit in which she blames the company because she says they shouldn’t have let her have that much credit in the first place.
I’m not sure if this defense will stand up in court, but I must admit, it’s very clever. In fact, I might start using that argument when it comes to my creditors.
The next time my student loan bill collectors call me accusing me of not paying back my student loans, I’m going to tell them, “That’s your fault because you never should have given me the loan in the first place.”

Oprah’s mother sued
Oprah Winfrey’s mother is being sued for $150,000.
Valentina clothing store is accusing her mom Vernita Lee of racking up $150,000 in unpaid clothing purchases since 2004.
Although most of you are probably blaming Vernita, but I on the other hand, think it’s all Oprah’s fault. Oprah gives money to everyone. She gives it to charity, she gives away free cars and other extravagant gifts to her audience members.
The least she could do is pay off her mother’s $150,000 bill. Since Oprah is a billionaire, that $150,000 is like $1.50 to her.
