Outrage As Sacha Baron Cohen Pays OJ Simpson $20,000 To Be In His New Film

The families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman are said to be furious after Ali G star Sacha Baron Cohen paid disgraced actor OJ Simpson $20,000 to appear in a prank for his next film.

A source told The Mail on Sunday, that Baron Cohen wore a curly dark wig and black, thick-rimmed glasses to meet Simpson in a Las Vegas hotel room.

The source said: ‘OJ would not even get in the hotel room until he was paid a sackload of cash.’

‘There was no way Sacha could have got OJ into the room without paying money.’

Simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in a 1995 criminal trial.

But the former athlete was found liable for their deaths in a 1997 civil case.

The revelation that Baron Cohen paid Simpson a reported $20,00 has sparked outrage from the families of his victims.

Simpson still owes around $70 million from the civil suit.

Nicole Brown’s sister Tanya said last night: ‘Nicole and Ron are two human beings who were brutally murdered.’

‘This is not a joke nor is it entertainment. If Sacha makes this a comedic effort his victims will be personified as a joke.

‘Shame on him.’

Last night Goldman family lawyer David Cook said: ‘If money changed hands then all of the money paid should go to Ron’s father Fred. There is a legal and moral imperative here.’
