Wendy Williams calls out security at Bergdorf Goodman, claiming in a segment of her talk show that she and 2 of her celebrity friends were racially profiled.
Williams said the three of them took over the store and not only shopped but dined upstairs for lunch and snapped a photo together in what she described as the store's"glamour suite.""I ended up buying a negligee. NeNe bought a handful of gowns, you know, $2,000 apiece. Marlo charged a whole bunch of stuff," she said.
Williams said they each had their own sales girl pulling items for them to try on, but security followed the group throughout the store. "Can I tell you something about security? They treated us like the hood that they treat us," Williams said, rubbing the back of her hand to indicate that she thought it was racially motivated."Yup, and that's all I'm gonna say."
She continued:"You can earn what you want. You can do what you want, but when you are what you are, you better not be surprised at how people treat you." Bergdorf Goodman, and its parent company Neiman Marcus, did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment. A rep toldMinyvonne Burke
