Restaurant Refuses to Give O.J. Simpson a Steak Knife. Or the Steak.

Posted by Fara Kearnes on May 9, 2007 6:18 PM |

OJ SimpsonThe owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville, Kentucky, asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby.

"I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby told reporters. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct."

Simpson was found not guilty in 1995 of the brutal stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman but was later found liable in a civil trial for their deaths.

Ruby said Simpson 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.

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.
