X Factor winner Leona Lewis was ordered from a shop because of her race.
She was told to leave the unnamed London store along with her Guyana-born father Joe.
Bleeding Love star Leona, 24, who was buying photo frames, said: “This woman told us, ‘get out of my store right now’. I asked her ‘are you joking?’
“She said, ‘No, I want both of you to remove yourselves from my store’. I asked why – and pointing at my dad she said, ‘I don’t like the look of him. I want him to go now’.
“I said: “What do you mean? She said, ‘I know why you’re coming in here’. She was implying we were trying to steal stuff.”
The woman shouted at Leona in front of other customers, but despite being in tears the singer refused to leave.
“I was so angry my dad had to drag me out of the shop. I’d never experienced anything like that. Being judged by the colour of your skin is horrible.”
Two weeks ago Leona was punched at a book signing by a crazed fan rejected at an early stage in the X Factor auditions.

she's having a ruff year...
That shit happens to BLACK PEOPLE everyday!!
london is no joke!!
She need's to call simon Calwell and plead with him to buy out the whole block and watch the lady pick up garbage for a living.
I would have laughed in that bitches face and kept on shopping cause legaly she can't do that shit in this day and age without being sued!
^^ hell yeah. I kind of wish someone WOULD say that to me nowadays i'll be stacked when all is said and done.
Leona should have pulled out her her video feature on her cellie (ya know she got one) and been like 'come again'?
THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH A CIVIL LAW SUIT.
Poor Leona. She's having a rough time lately.
To all the people here saying that they would have kept on shopping, that's pretty senseless. Why would you want to put money in the pockets of someone who's disrespecting you?
am i the only one that thinks Toya is not cute, maybe it's the witch looking nose, the braces, i don't know she just is kind of blah
^^dead its her nose lol
Is it really like that in London? A shopkeeper can you just ask you to leave? If London is racist like that, I'll NEVER go back. I found the people to be rather snobby anyway. Couldn't figure out why, however, the town is corny.
Leona seems so sweet, always crying about everything. She should give us the name of that shop, so that people can boycott it. I wonder how many people she'll be asking to leave her shop when she has ZERO customers?
I'm from London and NO it is not like that. It's a big place with a lot of different races - but foreigners only going to tourist destinations wouldn't see none of that.
And remember now she's with the rich and famous.
She doesn't go into any ordinary shops - she was probably in some exclusive place like in Pretty Woman where they only take a specific sort of person.
Leona, please tell us the name of the shop!! Put that b!tch on blast..
Thats a dam shame, she shoulda put that bitch on blast b4 she left. ole girl is having a ruff year.
Is London racist?
Is London a village, come on man, why is American knowledge of places outside America so poor?!
Oh and the litigation culture isn't something we're fond of in England, so the 'civil lawsuit' is unlikely
I'm just so sorry 4 her :(
Seeing my most favorite singer upset is just so sad...
