Oprah Winfrey’s Mom Has a Case of the Dumb

Oprah Winfrey’s mother, Vernita Lee is claiming ignorance and counter suing Valentina Inc for allowing her to spend over $150,000 she, for god knows what kind of reason, didn’t realize she had to pay back.

According to court papers, Lee resolved a 2002 case with the company over a $175,000 bill. The resolution prohibited Valentina from receiving more credit.

Lee claims the company extended her credit anyway, taking advantage of her “lack of knowledge, ability, and-or capacity” when creating her credit account.”

Oprah’s mom makes it seem like credit is some free thousand dollar coupon.  You’d think after the first time, or after seeing people’s houses being foreclosed on because of bad credit, or, hell, looked at Ed McMahon lately, some common sense would enter her brain, but for some odd reason she sees credit as some really awesome thousand dollar coupon.  As giving as Oprah makes herself out to be on television, I wouldn’t bother bailing her out just because of her stupidity.
