Simpson booted out of restaurant

O.J. Tossed From Steakhouse on Derby Eve
May 8, 10:57 PM EST



The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts.
"I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct."

Simpson, an NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, was found innocent in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman but was found liable in a civil trial that followed.
Ruby ? who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. ? said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said.
"I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach."

He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room.

Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.

"He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did," Galanter said by telephone Tuesday night.
Ruby said the incident had to do with Simpson's past.

"It was the first time since 1994 he has ever shown any class," Ruby said. "He showed it that night in the restaurant" by leaving quietly.

Ruby said after Simpson left, people in the restaurant started applauding him. He said he has received about 100 positive e-mails since the incident.

The walls of Ruby's restaurants are decorated with celebrity photos. A photo of Simpson and Ruby used to be on display, but Ruby said he took it down after the killings.

Me thinks Jeff Ruby will be going on a "vacation" soon.

"I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families,"

That and the fact that he never puts his steak knife down.

From the article: Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach."

Yet Ruby has no problem giving Simpson even more attention through his actions, since it benefits him. If he truely was disgusted by Simpson's attention the smart move is to either quietly serve him so no mention is made or decline interviews in the media by stating his objection to feeding the frenzy.

Figures. Just play the race card.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

I have eaten with O.J. (in the same restruant) several times and have never seen a problem at all. Maybe someone might turn around and look but there was never any comotion...

He should only be allowed to have a plastic knife and utensils.

[H2 OHHH!]

The true problem arose when the waiter asked Simpson how he liked his steak prepared. Simpson responed with " I like mine bloody". Perhaps he was following a hot lead at the steak house since he did vow to find the true killer. Or following another lead that a jockey killed Nicole, which is why he was in town for the derby.

[ROX]

Sweet! He even took down a pic of them together! Maybe more business owners will show O.J. the same courtesy.

"Get out! I can't stand the sight of you!"

[DennisAJC]

Regardless of what he did, OJ was just eating quietly not making a scene. And Ruby comes out and publicly embarrases him by saying I'm not going to serve you( I imagine him with a lisp and a raised limp wrist when he says this.) twice and storms off like a drama queen.



Looks like Ruby is gonna lose his restauraunt. Lawsuit!

OJ disgusts me. But Attention whores like Ruby are worst.

Where the hell is OJ anyways?

see

I remember watching him trying on those gloves, if ever there was a guy trying "not" to make the gloves fit it was him.

How many of us have stretched on a golf glove that was tight as hell from drying out. With enough effort you can damn well get just about any glove on your hand.

O.J. totally over-acted with all his grimacing as if he had his hands in a running disposal and the gloves were never pulled tight.

[h2co-pilot]

LOL, I nevver thought about the utensils.
