OJ Simpson Threatens To Sue Vegas Casino for $100 Million After Being Thrown Out And Banned

OJ Simpson To Sue Cosmopolitan For A Whopping $100 Million Back in November, a reportedly belligerent OJ Simpson was thrown out of and banned from the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Now,  USA Today  has reported that OJ’s lawyer Malcolm LaVergne has vowed to file a $100 million lawsuit against the famous hotel and casino, unless it publicly admits that Simpson did nothing to justify his being kicked out and banned from the establishment. KVVU  reports that Simpson’s lawyer alleges the casino’s staff attempted to justify the ban in the media by saying Simpson “was drunk, became disruptive at the Clique bar, was angry at hotel staff and glasses were broken at the bar.” But according to LaVergne, drug and alcohol tests that Simpson was forced to take by a parole officer following the incident came back negative. He further claims that police found OJ to not have been acting as the hotel staff alleged after reviewing surveillance footage, but that the ban has still stood. “Mr. Simpson has had 100% perfect behavior since he’s been on parole,” says LaVergne, who adds that Simpson was simply having dinner with a friend and was completely surprised and confused by the Cosmopolitan’s harsh treatment of him. LaVergne alleges there was “malice and racial prejudice” at play as Simpson was “singled out … amongst his non-African American friends.” SMH….The Juice never rests.

Breaking News: Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Has Died From Cancer At Age 58

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez , has died, Vice President Nicolás Maduro announced in a televised statement. Hugo Chavez Has Died Via Reuters : Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has died after a two-year battle with cancer, ending the socialist leader’s 14-year rule of the South American country, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said in a televised speech. The flamboyant 58-year-old leader had undergone four operations in Cuba for a cancer that was first detected in his pelvic region in mid-2011. His last surgery was on December 11 and he had not been seen in public since. “It’s a moment of deep pain,” Maduro, accompanied by senior ministers, said, his voice choking. Chavez easily won a new 6-year term at an election in October and his death will devastate millions of supporters who adored his charismatic style, anti-U.S. rhetoric and oil-financed policies that brought subsidized food and free health clinics to long-neglected slums. Detractors, however, saw his one-man style, gleeful nationalizations and often harsh treatment of opponents as evidence of an egotistical dictator whose misplaced statist economics wasted a historic bonanza of oil revenues. Chavez’s death paves the way for a new election that will test whether his socialist “revolution” can live on without his dominant personality at the helm. We’ll keep you updated on this breaking story…
