Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless is in a battle with her former co-star, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor Kevin Sorbo, after he
tweeted that Vice President Kamala Harris should �say the N-word� to prove
her Blackness.

Having worked together over many years on their respective �90s shows,
Lawless and Sorbo have publicly fought over their opposing political
views: Sorbo is a staunch conservative and supporter of former President
Donald Trump.

On Friday, responding to Sorbo�s comments about Harris, Lawless said �in
his defense� that she has seen Sorbo stick up for at least one Black
person: O.J. Simpson.

In his defense, I personally witnessed a time when Kevin Sorbo stuck up
for a black man against white people. @RonFilipkowski @JohnFugelsang

�The NZ summer, Feb 1995 when my character, #Xena was introduced into my husband�s show, �Hercules the Legendary Journeys�. We actors were sitting around and I brought up a news item,� Lawless wrote on X. �I said, �Guys,
did you guys hear about that woman and her friend who were brutally
murdered in LA? I think maybe the footballer did it!� And Peanut [Sorbo] growled: �Hey! I knew Nicole and let me tell you� she was no picnic!�
BOOM.�

We were all gobsmacked. I said, �She didn�t deserve to be stabbed to
death. He replied, �I�m just saying, She was a piece of work.� It stuck in
my mind because those Americanisms were unusual to us. But we knew what he meant.#DontGetMeStarted!

Lawless added that they were all �gobsmacked� over Sorbo�s comment.

Lawless reportedly said Nicole Brown Simpson �didn�t deserve to be stabbed
to death.� To which, Sorbo reportedly replied, �I�m just saying, She was a piece of work,� wrote Lawless. �It stuck in my mind because those
Americanisms were unusual to us. But we knew what he meant.�
