OJ Simpson and Las Vegas Hotel-Casino Settled Defamation Lawsuit
O.J. Simpson and a Las Vegas hotel-casino have settled a lawsuit alleging that unnamed employees defamed Simpson by telling a celebrity news site he had been banned from the property in November 2017 for being drunk and disruptive.
Simpson’s attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, declined Thursday to comment about the agreement reached with Nevada Property 1 LLC, the corporate owner of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“The matter has been resolved,” LaVergne said. A spokeswoman for the Cosmopolitan declined immediate comment.
