Football star-turned-actor O.J. Simpson is suing bosses at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas over claims he was banned from the hotel for drunk and disruptive behaviour in 2017.
The incident Simpson is referring to occurred just weeks after he was released from prison following a nine-year stretch behind bars for armed robbery, when he allegedly became involved in an altercation on November 8, 2017 at the hotel’s Clique Bar & Lounge.
Sources told TMZ at the time that glasses were broken during the melee, and the former National Football League player was eventually told to leave, given a trespass notice and advised to never come back.
However, in the belated lawsuit, Simpson is adamant he was not drunk, and insists the reported incident never happened. Instead, he claims earlier in the evening a manager at the steakhouse in the hotel actually thanked him for being a gracious guest.
He alleges when he was leaving, someone from the hotel handed him a trespass notice and repeatedly said it was private property and he was not welcome back, and he insists his behaviour never warranted a permanent ban.
Simpson adds his parole officer saw the story, visited him at home the following day, and gave him a drug and alcohol test — both of which came back clean. He also claims the officer visited the establishment and told him there was no evidence he did anything that would violate his parole.
He concludes the legal papers by referring to himself as a “model parolee with perfect performance.”
