Oprah's Mama Counter Sues

Oprah Winfrey's mother, Vernita Lee, is suing the clothing store that is suing her for $156,000.00 in unpaid clothes and services, claiming she shouldn't have to pay because the store extended credit despite knowing her troubles managing debt. "The account is "unconscionable, and therefore, unenforceable because Valentina knowingly and unfairly took advantage of Lee's lack of knowledge, ability, and/or capacity when Valentina created the account," the civil lawsuit says.
