TV Presenter Ruby Wax Remembers Notorious OJ Simpson Interview: “He Made Stabbing Motions With Banana”


Simpson reenacted his alleged killing of his ex-wife and her friend, using a banana.

Following the death of OJ Simpson this week, veteran TV presenter and comedienne Ruby Wax has written about the time she spent interviewing the footballing legend turned pariah for her BBC chat show. Writing in The Times of London this weekend, she says the moment he re-enacted his alleged killings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman – for which he went through “the trial of the century” before being acquitted in 1995 – wasn’t even the weirdest part of the day. In February 1997, the former footballing star and actor was found guilty in a civil lawsuit brought by the victims’ families and fined $33million in damages – triple that amount remains owed today.
