Savannah James<\/a>, wife of LeBron James<\/a>, was given discouraging service at a Herm\u00e8s location in Italy that resulted in an employee being fired.<\/p>\n

Mrs. James and her close friend and podcast co-host April McDaniel<\/a> recounted the incident on the Friday (August 7) episode of Danielle Robay’s podcast Question Everything.<\/p>\n

Around the 52-minute mark of the video below, McDaniel said they had personally arranged Herm\u00e8s shopping appointments<\/a> during a European trip. Upon their arrival to a store in Milan, the women were allegedly mistreated by an employee.<\/p>\n

McDaniel recalled not hesitating to step in for her longtime friend. “And fired a lady. I said, ‘We’ll be back for you. I’ll be right back. Baby you caught the wrong one today,'” she told the salesperson, describing Savannah as “very nice” unlike herself.<\/p>\n

Staffers eventually resolved the situation by inviting Savannah and McDaniel to a private showing where champagne and macarons were served. “They brought out everything,” Savannah said.<\/p>\n

During a separate incident at a Chanel<\/a> boutique in France, a sales associate told Savannah not to touch a miniature bag on the floor, although McDaniel didn’t notice signage that indicated the piece was off-limits.<\/p>\n

“Typically when it’s like a exclusive situation, it’ll say, don’t touch,” Savannah said. “I can read. Very much so. And I can see very clearly. And there was nothing that said, don’t touch. And I’m in a merchandise store. That man said, ‘Don’t touch.'”<\/p>\n

For years, Herm\u00e8s has been accused of racial profiling, from turning away billionaire entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey<\/a> in 2005, to a January investigative story<\/a> alleging that the brand withholds access to their merchandise depending on customers’ addresses and purchase histories among other factors.<\/p>\n
