(CelebNMusic247-News) Queen Latifah Responds to Barney’s Descrimination Allegations
Queen Latifah has responded to the Barney’s discrimination allegations, but there seems to be some mixed feelings as the daytime talk show host addressed the controversy.
While Kevin Hart and his girlfriend, Eniko, were recently spotted splurging at Barneys Beverly Hills, it looks like Queen Latifah is prepared to boycott if need be. During a recent interview with Necole Bitchie, the daytime talk show host addressed the controversy.
Latifah replied:
“We’ve been going through this for a long time. We know that this is something that has been continuous in our community for us when we go into various stores. I would hope that that’s not the case with Barneys. That some people got overzealous and did the wrong thing and that it’s not the whole corporation because I like Barneys and I’d hate to have to boycott them! That would be terrible.”
“I’m hoping that this whole situation gets solved and it’s a lesson to everybody else and these other stores to be cognizant of your shopper. Just because you have on a baseball cap doesn’t mean you don’t have money. We don’t have to justify where we got the money to buy an expensive belt.”
She went on to address Jay Z’s involvement with the company, expressing that she agrees with the way he’s handling things so far.
“I don’t know that it’s there. I think that Jay Z’s been pretty clear when it’s hit him close to home [and] when things just don’t sit right with him, but obviously things warrant further investigation.”
