- The media's portrayal of O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark and how she was treated in the courtroom is back in the spotlight after the latest episode of "The People v. O.J. Simpson." Tuesday night's episode, titled "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," detailed some of the indignities Clark faced as the only female trial lawyer on either side of the Los Angeles courtroom where O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders. Everything from her appearance to her parenting skills were up for public debate. #InsideEdition
Poor woman. Trying to put a killer behind bars and was mercilessly attacked at every turn. There may be racism on every corner but sexism is everywhere.
Ugh
YOU SO DARN RIGHT, OJ DID IT, THAT'S WHY HE IS IN PRISON RIGHT NOW, KARMA
Yes, believe me, I know the jurors in the robbery trial had the criminal trial outcome always in the back of their minds while making their decision. Justice delayed but not denied. OJ deserves to be where he's at & here's hoping he's never set free.
I hit the thumbs up...but I omitted the sexism remark when choosing to thumb it.
Craig Hicks well said
It's disgraceful how she was treat, trying to convict a guilty man and all the media cared about was her hair and her skirts. This world makes me angry! She was trying to do the right thing for two murdered people and their families and that was overshadowed by senseless teasing and gossip
Dudebro13454 Bro Your mom was innocent.
It was terrible the way she was treated but you wrecked it with your claim of a guilty man!
It isn't the media's fault
vinny Durham It’s always the media’s fault
My thoughts! 👍 What a CLOWNS...
The judge's comment was rude.
Very unprofessional indeed.
wtf are you talking about, He's amazing XD
+omnom omnomomom it was a very very veeeery sexist and uncalled for comment.
Lizzie Bowen Nah bitches need to learn how take a joke
omnom omnomomom You realize that existence itself would cease to existence is women were not in this world. And you do not seem to be the image of masculinity either with your pink kitty profile picture. You have no picture of yourself and I am assuming this is because you have horrendous troll like features and are a man that has been so unloved by women that he feels the need to spread hatred on them and assumes all women are bad just because he is not popular with them. I know your type. You feel inferior in life 1. Because no woman likes you 2. Because no one in general likes you. 3. Because woman are such a powerful force in this generation that you can feel your masculinity being ripped out of your grasps 4. You genuinely have nothing better to do than leave comments that ultimately lead to nothing. You saying women belong in the kitchen doesn't magically condemn women into kitchens. You just sit on the internet with your loud opinions that are easily overshadowed. You said women belong in the kitchen and i disagree...soooo...your comment ultimately lead to nothing. You spouting out your loud opinion in no way made me revert to the kitchen. Instead, I am here having to deal with your unintelligent.
The judge is a bully. Poor Marcia, so sad she had to go through it. 😔
Thats beyond ridiculous, Its a light hearted joke. the judge is a human in the end of the day. i think its pretty cheerful. High school teachers make jokes as well when pupils get haircuts.
What did he say
Neel Mehra that’s a courtroom not a classroom
1:48 What did Ito say that was so offensive? I don't get it.
Marcia Clark was smart and pretty. A real shame she was outfoxed by the defense who made the trial about race instead of evidence.
1:25 WOW.
@@neelmehra1645 Nah, teachers with sense wouldn't make light of this instance esp when or if a kid is already being the joke of the class and or judged. You laugh if the kid (subject) laughs. Otherwise, not cool
I'm currently watching this on Netflix and sympathized so much with Marcia Clarke. I am disgusted at how she was treated by the media and many of her colleagues.
i'm so glad sarah paulson mentioned marcia in her emmy speech
Poor Marcia😔
I used to have a negative view of feminism being a black woman and always feeling like feminists have only cared about white women and white women issues but Marcia Clark embodies the best of feminism she succeeded in her career on her own merits and her hard work when everyone tried to discredit her with pointless reasons from her looks to her being a single mom etc but she never let it shake her she's a fighter and she had the *BIGGEST BALLS* in that *ENTIRE* courtroom if feminism is white women complaining about nonsensical issues just to get attention then calling me a feminist is a major insult but if a feminist is what Marcia is then I'll take that title with pride she's such an AUH-MAY-ZING woman and should hold her head up high #yougogirl #loveher
I think Marcia Clark is respected and admired a helluva lot more now than over 2 decades ago.
Aquarius baby - Odell is bae look up intersectional feminism
Aquarius baby - Odell is bae yes she is a strong woman. Idk how she handled all of that private turmoil while doing this case
ronnie og
you forget how recent intersectional feminism is
I was in the same boat as you. Although I'm white and don't share a similarity as you skin-wise, I grew up poor and in a stressful home. So, when I heard white feminist complaining about irrelevant topics I would roll my eyes. They often complained about privilaged issues that I found annoying. So, when people asked me what my feminist role model was, I wouldnt be able to answer. Just recently I've been interested in Mrs. Clark's work and I find her absolutely intelligent and strong. I think women need to look up less to the Kardashians and more to Clark! She's so amazing!
Sarah Paulson is amazing in the show! hope she gets an emmy :D
She better!! Last year, she got robbed!!!
+BTna Ysabel00 A golden globe !
+Mauricio Beasain And an Emmy!
she did!
Yaaaass she's phenomenal!!!
Seeing what Marcia Clark went through... It just reminds you of the struggles women in high positions face
Guys in high positions get accused of rape by women with no evidence. Remember Brett Kavanaugh?
You wanna know why they call it a cockpit? :P
I know... the first world problems white women face compared to the injustices that the black community (men) have faced for centuries. I can’t imagine. Thanks for reminding us all.
@@jamalbutler8099 but he wasn't convicted. obviously there was no evidence it happened in their late teens. you don't need *evidence* to *accuse* someone.
That men have also faced since the beginning of time
That poor woman. She was doomed from the start of this trial, mainly down to the defence team and her personal issues not to mention the farce it all became. Glad she's stayed dignified, i enjoyed seeing her on the ellen show, very genuine lady.
This makes me feel so mad and sad and disgusted idk
She gave as good as she could get!
I know... the first world problems white women face compared to the injustices that the black community (men) have faced for centuries. I can’t imagine. Thanks for reminding us all.
I would never treat a woman.like that
Poor woman. she went through a lot during that time
Marcia Won. Look at O.J. today.
Marcia won??? 😂 now that’s stretching it! She was pretty incompetent and reason why her and Darden continue to defend their jobs till this day! They were barking up the wrong tree and all they got was this dodgy ass LAPD to paint the narrative she was trying to sell!
@@Will-nb8qk She was not incompetent and neither was Darden. I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Almost everyone thinks OJ did it now .
RPKD : I think it’s a case of people just saying to hell with it, he done it.
Very true. She helped make sure nobody forgot about Nicole and Ron.
Yeah he's free and playing golf in Vegas lol
Poor woman, she seemed so strong.
This was horrible! She's brave AF. A lesser woman would have quit this case.
She was in it for fame.
@@sofialavish1072 how u know🤣🤷♂️
What a surprise straight hair is perceived as classy, sofisticated and curly hair as trashy...
chocoholicSISTA263 women of color tend to have curly hair. So there is a racist bias against curly hair
chocoholicSISTA263 I think she looked way better with curly hair.
Well straight is her natural so she should rock it 🤷♀️
I've never heard curly hair referred to as trashy. The curly hair just looked terrible on Clark. Especially when it was short. It didn't suit her features and made her look harsh. The straight hair just fit her better and she looked more feminine and it softened her appearance. On some people itd be the opposite and curly hair would suit them. I'm a natural born brunette..my hair was jet black. It didn't suit me and despite my Hispanic background I was very pale as a child. Kids would call me Morticia Addams or vampire because my black hair in contrast to my pale skin made me look weird. So at 11 I lightened it with dye and finally at 12 my mom bleached it blonde. Blonde suited me so much better and now I'm in my 30s and still keep it blonde. Nothing against dark hair it just didn't suit me personally. That's the same point with Marcia's curly do..it didn't suit her. I don't know why the media cared so much about it but then again they picked on everyone during this trial. Kato kaelin was called a slacker and a moocher and teased about his hair but he embraced it and went along with it. That's the key to getting the media to leave you alone. Learn to laugh at yourself and not take them so seriously and they'll move on to the next person.
Curly hair just didn’t suit her narrow face but damn, straight her turned her into a completely different person!
It's really sad how for some women looking good/bad can overshadow everything you do especially if you get into the media.
Yeah well, many women in the media exploit the “sex sells” MO!
This case didn't just cover racism and abuse, it also highlighted sexism
That actress nailed it
She seems like a class act, unlike OJ.
Why was juice not a class act? I be ok eve oj was a standup kinda guy!
I meant in my opinion oj was ( once) a great guy.
Wow this woman is amazing! She worked hard, she was great mum and even when they laugh at her she was doing her job 100%. I personally admire that woman!
💝✨
God it makes me sick how the world made fun of her. She's such a strong woman.
I bet the male lawyers never get comments about their hair, clothing or their child care issues 🙄
This is a mans world…..
i hope she knows she is a great attorney ❤️
Wow. This breaks my heart to know this. I was 10 when all this happened so I didn't understand all of this but wow... I feel awful that she had to endure this. It's not right.
Lexie Wilson What's not right? that she got a little attention from a high-profile case just like everybody else involved. Cry me a river..... Ms. Wilson you better Believe she enjoyed every minute of it. Also got a little Soul Pole action lol.
How the defense team was allowed to continuously break the law..act in blatantly arrogant fashion...and be permitted to keep the B.a.r. card after the gross misconducts is beyond me. Had Clark, Darden, and the rest of the D.A office stood up to Ito on day 1 when he continually committed the fraudulent representation of a fair and honorable truth servant.. The defendant would be in jail or dead from being convicted. Rightfully so might I add. The defense team...and the defendant were allowed to get away with blatant, willful murder....all with the help of a judge who was so concerned about his public image. The prosecution tried..hard...very hard...but they as well could have and should have presented more(along with and on top of all the) concrete evidence in which they did in fact have. Marsha Clark is imo..the epitome of class,honor,courage, and commitment. Bravo Ms. Clark and Mr. Darden!!!
Ito was starstruck. End of story
Clarke and Darden were simply incompetent! The narrative that was given to them by the LAPD didn’t help their cause any!
It’s crazy that this whole story is real. Everything that happened before, during and after the trial feels like something out of a novel.
This woman got beat down on a daily basis during that trial - and there was no such thing as social media back then. There was barely even any internet. But even without those things she was constantly under siege and it was impossible to escape it. A lot of times the talk was more about her than it was the actual case itself.
Marcia Clark was put through so much during the case, and I still to this day feel so sorry for her. 26 years ago I just couldn’t understand why people were so mean to her because she was good at her job in my opinion and she was just so amazing during the case. She deserved better!!
Oh my god that judge smh
People were very sexist. I watch people told her to smile more and to be more like women
On Netflix?
They did her dirty.
Yeah she did! I watched the trial and didn't even notice. She showed such class and was fierce. I don't feel bad for her, bc it made her who she is now
I find both the real Marcia and the actress Marcia both pretty
The actress (49) is dating a 81yo woman. 😂
She's a feminist icon!!! We love her!!!
What did the judge say? Couldn’t hear it.
My personal hero!!!
I feel such a great deal of respect for this woman after watching what she went through in the ACS show... She was a role model of dignity, moral and justice through the whole thing. She was an example!
It is so unfair the way she was treated.
Why would a judge even make a comment like that about her hair? I’m just confused.
He was sexist towards her during the trial in multiple instances. Just a bad judge.
Man, I always had a thing for this woman
Only because you hated OJ because he was
My mom was a single mother and Ibmay be biased but I think she was just about the best mom ever. She jugled work full time while raising myself and my autistic brother...all while battling cancer at the time. She won that battle with cancer and went on to be with us for another 28 years. She ultimately passed while trying to fight off another attack from another form of cancer. The cancer was terminal but that wasn't what killed her. No, in the end she died from kidney failure from the extreme amounts of chemo she was taking in order to stay with us just a little while longer. I didn't have a full grasp on how difficult it must have been raising us until after she passed and I brought my brother to live with me in order to take over his care.(and because I love my little bro. Lol) Its been difficult at times but luckily my mom raised me right and instilled me with everything I would need to care for my brother. Anyone raised by a single mother will know the vast amount that we owe to single moms. To all the single mothers out there I sincerely applaud and thank you from the bottom and depths of my heart. We can never repay all you have done for us.
P.s. sorry to go on a diatribe in a video about Marcia Clark but the "single mother trying to get home to her kids" part hit me right in the damn feels. Lmao. Hell, if even one single mom reads this and knows how much we appreciate them then it's worth it.
she's so strong
that's sad why did people have to hate on her so much
What an amazing inspirational tough as nails woman!!
This sickens me. Women should not have to go through this, especially not for trying to serve justice. Marcia is a strong, brave, intelligent, inspiring woman, and a great lawyer. And to all of the women lawyers out there: I want to thank you for your service and commend you for your integrity and passion for justice. May God bless you.
Marcia approached the trial with wayyyyy too much ego and delusional slam dunk confidence! She had Never been up against attorney at that level...she was facing top notch pros..
I can’t believe how glam Marcia looked in that outfit while touring the Simpson estate!
that skirt was so cute though
She handled all that scrutiny well.
The crime of being a woman: judged by looks and juggling a daily life
so sad she had to go through it, yet she never let it got in her way
Sarah Paulson did it great!!!!
Poor Marcia. Men and media can be so cruel to people. Not just to women but to everyone. The fact they made fun of her when there was a murderer on trial speaks volumes about men in power. Women, stay strong and shown men you have got just as much balls as them.
Its crazy to see what all she had to deal besides the case
Sarah Paulson played an amazing part in showing the truth behind what Marcia went through.
I was barely alive for this, but I was alive for Britney Spear's 2007 public meltdown. It's amazing to look at these things in hindsight and see how absolutely wrong and disgusting the general public behaved towards these women and how as a society we've improved a bit on these issues.
Part of the problem with this trial is just that Judge Lance Ito sucked. He was out of his depth and frequently unprofessional. Everybody suffered for it. The prosecution, the defense, everybody.
sarah paulson is such a talented actress
Can you please tell me what day Martia says to Ito 'I just cant be here' because she has to take care of her kids
Marcia vs ALL THESE MEN. I admired her.
A divorse is one of the most stressful phases on someone's life. Cant imagine she was the lead prosecutor at the same time.
Wowww!
she had all my respect!!! all!!!
Her ex husband was rude
Sarah Paulson is a queen, but poor Clark she didn't deserve all of this.
At 49 years sucking 81yo pu$sy? Hm... Lesbianism is bad enough, but gerontophilia, too?
what does the judge say? can someone please tell me I can't understand
That's what he said in the show, but I want to know what he actually said, you can tell he didn't make the same comment. I think he said "I thought the victims were represented by Ms Clark", and then everybody laughed
me too, didn't hear clearly, is that "represented by Ms.Clark"? what's so funny about it?
I couldn’t watch the courtroom scene after her haircut it was so hard to see I can’t even imagine what she felt at that moment
O.j case is just one of her hard battles plus her personal life, but looking back and see her now? She did a great job. She has fall but it makes her even more greater woman now. Brighter light still on her side and makes her shining
Andrew Dice Clay brought me here
she let herself get distracted, and LOST an airtight case. terrible lawyer, should have been fired.
Dignity best describes a woman of power
They tried to break her to mess up. Curse all pf them
Marcia Clark is badass. Stone. Cold. Badass.
But couldn’t put an obvious murderer behind bars
this trial took a toll on everyone
Wow! I really thought these stuff about her look and kids were made up for the TV show.
Marcia Clark still rocks today !!
Marcia , Marcia , Marcia!
God bless her she is a strong woman
Poor gurl
1:59
He said Miss Clark, when did he say 'I think'?
They added it in the show. But he clearly made a facial expression and laughed over her hair. Which was completely irrelevant and unprofessional
My god Sarah Paulson was fantastic as Marcia Clarke !
1:17 " I cant be here, what date exactly in 1994?
She lost the one of easiest cases on the planet, the evidence was all there against Simpson.
The problem was that she became a distraction by what she would wear and the news channels were reporting on this more than on Simpson's obvious guilt.
Slartibartfast she lost that case because of the judge, not because of her appearance....
It wasn’t her fault. It’s hard to win a case when the jury is dumb af
It was a perfect storm of things that led to the prosecution losing, but it has to be said that Clakr's naivety in thinking that race wouldn't be weaponised and exploited by the defence at every turn, and thinking that the black women on the jury would particularly care about the domestic abuse angle, did its small part in helping her lose the case.
A year long trial. Anyone would break.
amazing woman
It’s almost like all the media cared about was her looks and not what she had to say 🧐
Wow. I never looked at the other side of things. All I saw as a teen (on every channel at my house) was O.J. and his supposed innocence. I always believed that man took some part in Nicole's death, or knew more than he admitted to. What I didn't realize, Marcia had deep secrets and suffered mentally behind the divorce and possibly losing her kids. And the fact that ppl were so demeaning and petty about her hair🤷♂️. This gal was a tough cookie considering the case she had to build, trying to be a mother, etc.
What I often say, can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen...right?
@@daviddavis3389She obviously stood the heat. 😉✨
She shouldn't have asked OJ to try on the bra.
Jury trial sucks. It's more show and entertainment than justice.
Her and Darden did a terrible job letting OJ go free.
they should just admit they were wrong. they got the wrong simpson instead of trying to prove what is not. accdg to dr. henry lee "something is wrong."
Watching this in 2023...
Unbelievably,it happens now under various guises!
...and yet,women following Marcia Clark's example,hold their own so well.
The weaker sex indeed!
strangely enough mistakes if not all of the people in the trial were actors. look it up
Man get tf outta hea😂💯💯
I hate that i even just watched this… Famously bad hair??? F i hate the internet
That's a Baddass Woman Right There....And I Have The Utmost Respect for Her (And Yess...When She Came In With Her Hair Straightened With The New Look...Oh Yeah Gurrll... Shes a Pretty Woman...And Now...Even Over Sixty...Wow !!! :) :) )
The "public" spotlight. Not the media spotlight, right Inside Diarrhea Edition?
she shouldn't have been on the prosecution if she was going through a divorce and custody battle my opinion it was a reckless and irresponsible.
