Oprah Winfrey is apparently describing her recent rejection at an Hermès store in Paris as one of "the most humiliating moments of her life," according to her close pal Gayle King.

King told ET that she was with Winfrey last Tuesday when the renowned talk host was denied entrance to the famous luxury goods shop, an incident that quickly sparked speculation in the media as to whether the store's action was racially motivated. Hermès later issued a statement expressing its "sincere regrets for any misunderstanding that these circumstances could have caused" and added that they had simply been closed for a private after-hours event when Winfrey stopped by.

Still, King claims she's bothered by the apology because "it implies that nothing offensive happened." She also says it's unlikely that Winfrey will be quick to forgive and forget what happened, and probably won't shop there again.
