Struggling to put on a pair of surgical gloves, Johnson referenced an infamous moment during Simpson’s 1995 murder trial when a glove was found not to fit the former American football star.

And here’s a flavour of exactly what people made of that.
“Just like OJ Simpson” What kind of mind spontaneously comes out with this pathetic and appalling simile? And he doesn’t even realise the horrific irony of blood on his hands. One day all this will all be thoroughly investigated, and he won’t be making any jokes then. https://t.co/x8NcDnqbi3

I don't know why I thought of OJ Simpson – he only got away with killing two people.

There were also plenty of people who thought he should be given a break.
It’s not awkward, it’s funny … for heavens sake, do we have to be so super serious about everything?
Are we not allowed a moment of light humour here and there 🤷♀️
