Disgraced former football star and actor OJ Simpson had another blow to his ego dealt on Friday night. As OJ Simpson had come to Louisville, Kentucky in order to see the Kentucky Derby, Simpson decided to dine at an upscale steakhouse. However, what OJ Simpson did not expect was to be refused service and be asked to leave the restaurant.
Jeff Ruby, who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Indiana, said that on Friday night, OJ Simpson and around 12 other people entered his restaurant on the eve of the Kentucky Derby. The Simpson party was seated at the back of the restaurant, when a customer approached Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing the former football star, according to Ruby, who spoke to the Associated Press.
But while the customers may have been happy to see OJ Simpson, Jeff Ruby was not. In the Associated Press interview, Ruby said that he proceeded to OJ Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." At first, OJ Simpson did not respond to the address, so Ruby repeated himself and left the room. Just minutes later, OJ Simpson approached Ruby and said that he understood. OJ Simpson then gathered the rest of his dining party and left Ruby's restaurant.
During a telephone interview with the Associated Press, Jeff Ruby said, "I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families. The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct." Ruby said that when he recognized OJ Simpson in his restaurant, it didn't take him very long to decide his next course of action. "I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, adding that seeing OJ Simpson receive so much attention, "makes me sick to my stomach."
O.J. should know by now that some white people will never get over that trial. And he sure as hell didn't help his cause what with that stupid book idea he was peddling not too long ago.
