Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey’s trip to Australia has stirred-up a racism controversy over a “Mamee” washer woman style doll, Radaronline.com has learned. A doll shop in Melbourne withdrew the golliwog style dolls from its display window after a visit by Oprah’s production company.

The Dafel Dolls and Bears Shop will stage a cocktail party for 110 of the American superstar’s guests on Friday evening.

The store’s owner would not comment on the situation because they had signed a confidentiality agreement with Oprah’s Harpo Productions.

But they did confirm that a meeting had taken place between the two parties.

“Oprah’s people came … and yes it was discussed,” a source familiar with the agreement told the Australian Herald Sun newspaper.
