LOUISVILLE, Ky. - 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 lawyer, Yale Galanter, did not immediately return phone calls Tuesday night seeking comment.

“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.

Good for the owner!! :clap

This kid I went to high school with told me he'd seen Naked Gun 33 1/3 in the dollar theater the summer of 1994. He said that as soon as OJ showed up on screen, everyone in the theater booed. :lol:

I just love that story. It's perfect from start to finish. Simpson will probably file a lawsuit, but man oh man, do I just LOVE this story. My hate for Simpson borders on pathological.

I wonder what happened to the OJ picture the owner used to have on display? Wouldn't it be awesome if he sent it to the Goldmans and they could make a bundle by selling it??

Hey, I'd certainly throw him out of my restaurant! I wouldn't want my restaurant to be related with Simpson in any way.

I don't blame the owner, why have Simpson in a restaurant with knives??? :p

THANK GOD!!!! I APPLAUD THIS MAN. What is the name of the owner and the restaurant? I want to let him know what a great thing he did!!!!!! :cheers:

Once again.

How many people did you slaughter Simpson?

:lol:

That we know of...;)

Unfortunately, O.J. attends the Kentucky Derby every year, and is always such a media hog. This year, however, The Queen of England stole his thunder with her appearance at the Derby! Maybe this incident will make O.J. stop tainting the prestigious horse race with his toxic presence and he won't return next year!!!

I just love that story. It's perfect from start to finish. Simpson will probably file a lawsuit, but man oh man, do I just LOVE this story. My hate for Simpson borders on pathological.

I live about 10 miles from this resturant. Ruby just made himself a new lifelong customer.

Oh oh! HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!
That owner better watch out, or he will be prosecuted for a hate crime.
He obviously hates murderers who get off scot-free, and I don't know if that is legal.;)

Oh oh! HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!

Somehow, I don't see Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton getting involved in this case. :lol:

:rofl: That was my exact thought when I read the title of the thread!!


WAY TO GO for the owner!!! It would look so good on him to get thrown out of anywhere he goes!

Better yet - to see him and Paris Hilton having to chowdown at a roadside picnic table of a greasy spoon (not even McDonald's) because America wised up and won't let either of them in any good establishment! :lol:

Somehow, I don't see Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton getting involved in this case. :lol:

Jesse and Al aren't involved yet, but some idiots did stage a protest.

But Simpson's lawyer says the incident was about race, and he intends to take the issue to court.

Oh oh! HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!

BREAKING NEWS: One of Simpson's attorneys (one of many :rolleyes: ) is going to sue the restaurant/owner for racism. He claims Simpson was thrown out because of his COLOR! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Even Simpson doesn't acknowledge he is BLACK. He is more white than Snow White herself.:rolleyes:

This bastard brings more limelight to himself.

Somehow, I don't see Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton getting involved in this case. :lol:

Give it some time, they will eventually.:lol:

Here is part of the news story abt the racism accusation:

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.

A RACE issue!? SHUT UP!!

Don't even get me started on the "race" thing again! lol as you say, he's more white than I am for God's sake!!

(I couldn't believe it when they brought that up at the trial. Funny how when they let the jury tour his home, his legal team took down all the pics of him with white folk).

I remember that. How stupid. :crazy:

As I remember, private establishments have the right to refuse service to anyone they want for any reason they want - it'll get tossed out faster than...well....a criminal case against a celeb in a California courtroom

Maybe O.J. saw the "real" killers over by the salad bar!

As a matter of fact, you are correct. And that was brought up this morning on MSNBC. One of the hosts stated that any establishment can refuse service to anyone...including the color of their skin. However, if they make it obvious they are refusing service because of their race, religion, etc. they are gambling with a lawsuit. So, it is best that one not make an issue of those sort of things (racial et al).

This issue with O.J. was clearly based on the fact that the owner despised the bastard for what he did and how he clearly mocks the families of his victims. He may not have been convicted of a crime, but he WAS FOUND LIABLE IN A CIVIL COURT. I know that bastard O.J. is guilty and I would have done the same thing that owner did. KUDOS TO HIM!!!!!! :clap: :dance: :thumbsup:

You live in Jefferson County? That's neat. :)

Yep. Lived here since 1999.

I sent off my email too. First that whole bruhaha around Thanksgiving with that book and TV show that got squashed, and now this. OJ will start to think people may not like him!! :eek:

About the race thing, he's whiter than Michael Jackson. Everyone knows that.

Check out these pics from 1977. OJ plays a cop - :lol: - who has an affair with his partner Elizabeth Montgomery. Yes, our beloved Samantha Stephens!! :eek:

Hell yah - he makes Dick York look like Bon Jovi even!!


(Has anyone seen OJ dance? I haven't - it's probably been hidden by his legal team for years cuz he was caught "the double guns" a la a white guy!) ;)

Furthermore, in order to prove that service was refused to OJ due to his race, you have to provide a *clear and consistent pattern* of the owner denying service to people at his restaurant due to race - and only race.

The only reason OJ's people are going to start trouble is becasue this is free publicity. This will keep his name in the news a little longer, and maybe they can score him an interview.

I just don't get how Simpson is able to go to all these swanky restaurants, parties and events. Doesn't he still owe millions to the Goldman and Brown families???

That's what I don't get. In 1997, he was ordered to pay $33 million in restitution to the families and said he'd never pay a penny of it. Why is he allowed to get away with not paying them??

I just love that story. It's perfect from start to finish. Simpson will probably file a lawsuit, but man oh man, do I just LOVE this story. My hate for Simpson borders on pathological.

If he sues and wins, maybe, just maybe there is a chance in hell that he will pay the goldman's 10 percent of what is owed to them.

If he sues and wins (which I doubt) he will have to give $$$ to the Goldman's and Nicole's family. He is required to do so. However, the reason he has gotten away with not paying anything is because he has any money he earns be put in his daughter's name, this way it appears it is her money, not his. That's what he did with the money he got from that stupid book last year and any $$$ he may have received for that tv interview that never took place.

Also his football pension can't be touched. That is his, no one can put a lien on that $$$.

I never thought I'd hear Dick York being compared to Bon Jovi, ever!! :lol: I have never seen OJ dance and I have no desire to. Scary. :eek:

He was here in Orlando a while back and dancing with some blond girls at a club downtown called "Cairo". One of my friends was there but could never catch him although they were in the same room. It was like he was on one side and she was on the other. I was driving my taxi route in downtown orlando and two passengers walked over to my cab and I drove them back ro Rollins College. The guy in the car said that O.J. was trying to flirt with his girlfriend who was the other passenger in my car. He was dancing with girls and buying drinks for everyone.

BTW, I don't think that the owner throwing out O.J. was race related. I am black and would not have been crazy about him being in the restaurant and would probably wanted to throw him out as well but would have let him stay.

It's his money-hungry-ass laywer who is screaming racism.:mad: The owner used ot let OJ eat there before the murder so how in the hell can he use the race card. Idiot. Just another laywer trying to make a case out of nothing.
You are correct on that. I am :rofl: at that race card thing being used again. Don't these people learn? :rolleyes: Just another lawyer trying to make $$$$.

Also, the owner stated on the news today that when he was in the process of throwing O.J. out of his place, a blonde woman approached the owner and proceeded to tell him he shouldn't do that (throw out O.J.)...the owner than turned to the woman and told her, "You are a blonde...you better watch out." :rofl: KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!

Furthermore, in order to prove that service was refused to OJ due to his race, you have to provide a *clear and consistent pattern* of the owner denying service to people at his restaurant due to race - and only race.


Not possible, because the owner served Michael Jorden after he threw OJ out.

Exactly - it isn't a white or black issue with this clown. When will he and his cronies get it through their heads that it's a justice issue. I could care less what colour anybody is just as long as justice is served. It really pissed me off when they pulled that. I've only had one black friend who thought it was a race thing.

And what sort of chick would want to even dance with the guy. Some broads really make me sick (or they're THAT stupid)!! :rolleyes:

Don't let OJ's team know that or they'll accuse him of being a "token black"! ;)

I see we agree then - unless the restaurant owner showed a pattern of denying service based on race, and anyone with a 1st grade education can tell he didn't, then OJ's legal team doesn't have a leg to stand on. :)

Yeah, just show us how you DIDN'T do it, O.J., like on your cancelled show,
"If I Did It". Can't believe that was almost made into an actual show. GO FIND YOUR KILLERS, YOU SIMPERING JOCK LOSER!!!!! :mad: Try looking in that sheet of glass in front of the medicine cabinet first. Can't believe the dooshnozzle played the race card. :rolleyes:

Why no one has assassinated this bastard yet is beyond me!:mad:

the guy thinks he is untouchable. the man is an arrogant SOB. as for the colour issue, he'd use any excuse to justify what he does. and we all know that trial was a fix- he DID kill his wife and her lover :mad:

Because unlike him (the villain that got away with murder) the person who shoots him would actually go to jail (the hero that didn't)
