O.J. Simpson is playing high stakes with the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas – by claiming he will sue them for $100 million.
The shamed 70-year-old former NFL star wants to sue them for being ‘racist’ after they banned him for being drunk and disruptive.
In a letter from his lawyer Malcolm Lavergne they claim that the hotel acted “with malice and racial prejudice” and are demanding a massive payout.
The hotel counters that on November 9, the infamous football legend was drunk and disruptive.
Not only did Cosmopolitan issue a trespass notice to Simpson but they also banned him from returning to the casino.
But his lawyer has hit back with a letter claiming that they intend to sue the hotel for their actions.
LaVergne also alleges that surveillance video obtained by the police “proved that the Casino staff and/or affiliates made up a false narrative.”
Simpson was released on parole from a Nevada prison in October 2017 – after serving nine years for armed robbery and assault with a weapon.
