O.J. Simpson‘s attorney Malcolm LaVergne is teeing off on TMZ after the gossip site published a report that the former NFL star, who was recently released from prison, was drunk and unruly at a Las Vegas hotel bar. LaVergne insists that the report is false, although he confirmed the part about Simpson being banned from returning to the Cosmopolitan hotel.
He was not kicked out. Nevada casinos can ban anyone for any reason or no reason. When he was leaving he was told not to come back. Everything else is the fantasy of soulless @HarveyLevinTMZ and his exploited child labor staff. M.

The attorney also noted that the hotel said the TMZ report was inaccurate. Indeed, a hotel source had told LawNewz.com the same thing.
Drinking to excess would be a violation of Simpson’s parole terms, but LaVergne said on Twitter that the parole board tested Simpson and he was clean.
His obligations are to Nevada Parole. He called them. They tested. He was clean. M.

After giving his client’s side of the story, LaVergne went into attack mode on TMZ and founder Harvey Levin, calling him “soulless” and referring to his employees as “his exploited child labor staff.” But he didn’t stop there.
Let’s see if @HarveyLevinTMZ will admit how little he pays his very young workers to get no credit for their articles while he takes in all the money exploiting them. M.

All these poor kids that work for soulless @HarveyLevinTMZ won’t realize what a mistake their lives have been until they’re in the mid-30’s. Then it’s too late. No career. @HarveyLevinTMZ will have all the money. M.

Eventually he called it a night and bid Levin a farewell, of sorts.
Goodnight soulless @HarveyLevinTMZ. Enjoy your success while those poor kids you exploit and use up by getting no credit for those articles lose their careers (and souls) working for you. M.
