Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if

His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . % Q" R3 b6 d$ D9 v: a; M$ ]9 _% x3 k
Whereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. & \& r' K# b$ @2 H) F$ `- B
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
5 l \2 e ]3 P; M' l( a# dHim in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the
: p1 I z0 }( Z/ Fridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.

All the same, we still have one place in the first class.' Before the woman 6 t3 G7 A% s% s: Y: H
