Hot Slut Of The Day!
Mrs. Robertson (as played by Regina Daye Allen) from American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson!
The grand finale of John Travolta’s Wig Brows (featuring the O.J. Simpson trial) aired last night, and I was hoping that they’d completely say “fuck it” to facts. I was hoping that they’d end it with O.J. being found guilty, Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden celebrating their victory by finally fucking on top of the desk as a chorus of Dancing Itos kicked around them, and Robert Kardashian snapping and deciding that he’s done with L.A. and is moving all of his children to a rural town in Armenia where they’ll be fig farmers forever (and civilization would be spared from Pimp Mama Kris’ koven).
But Ryan Murphy and company decided to go with accuracy, for some strange reason. I’ve said this before in another American Crime Story post, but the one thing I remember most about the O.J. verdict is the clerk chopping up his name as she read his fate. At first, the clerk dribbled out the name “Oran-jawl” instead of “Orenthal” before announcing him not guilty, and after she read the verdict, I thought to myself, “But she fucked up his name! That’s grounds for a mistrial, right? Redo! Redo!”
So during last night’s final episode, I waited and waited to see if they’d include the really important screw-up. If they didn’t, then the entire series was a lie and nothing in it could be trusted. But the actress who played Mrs. Robertson flawlessly executed the name fuck-up heard around the world. I don’t have a clip of the Emmy-worthy recreation of the flub, but here’s the original:
In my mind, the clerk screwed up, because she couldn’t believe that the jury only took 4 hours to decide and she wanted to say, “Oran-j’all disgusted with yourself for this verdict?!“
