O.J. Tossed From Steakhouse on Derby Eve

By BETH CAMPBELL
Associated Press Writer
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."

More power to the restaurant owner, but I wonder if he realizes that he's just added to the "media attention" that Simpson receives.

Isn't it ironic...

More media ,, true. but it sure is good to see him get some of what he is due. Kinda like the guy out west (VN vet ) who tossed Hanoi Jane.

Uh oh, here comes another lawsuit.

Not really, a restaurant can refuse service to anyone,within reason (can't not serve someone because of race, religion etc that would get you sued.) But if they argue that he was disturbing the meals of the others guests then that could be a good reason.

The owner< Ruby< is one of the brothers who founded Montgomery Inn. They own several other upscale restaurants in the Cincy/Kentucky area.

Good for him. I wonder how many people dining there would feel comfortable with him wielding a steak knife.

The trail of the murderers led to the restaurant. Now haters have made a difficult investigation even harder.

No shit, seeing simpson with a knife should make people feel a bit on edge. Kudos to old boy for doing the right thing.

Jeff Ruby always makes the news in Cincinnati for doing something unusual in his restaurants in Cincy every few years. He was dragged by a car and almost died a while back, and a couple of years after that, when a party of Bengals gave a $50 tip on a $1000 bill, he chewed out the players and called Mike Brown the next morning.

 

[BuckeyeRyn]

Job well done. If only more people would act accordingly things might slowly but surely turn back around in this world.

 

[Big Papa]

Major props to the restaurant owner for taking a stand like that. I wouldn't want that piece of shit in my place of business either.

Scottie Pippin was a Bengal?

 

[tibor75]

The fact that the Bengal players didn't vandalize anything should have been enough.

...and made it through the DUI checkpoints on the ride home.
