Marcia Clark Takes The Fifth On If She Romanced Chris Darden!

Marcia Clark sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about the "People V. O.J. Simpson" television series — but she clammed up when asked about making out with Chris Darden during their time as failed prosecutors in the O.J. Simpson murder trial! In the process, though, Marcia confirmed The National ENQUIRER's reporting from 1995!

Ellen brought up the very sensitive topic of romance between Marcia and Chris, even though she seemed to have already been told that Marcia wouldn't go into details. "I know you're not going to confirm this," said Ellen, "but it seemed like y'all had a relationship — and I don't know if it ever went anywhere...he seemed to be in love with you!"

"It didn't seem that way to me," laughed Marcia — who then refused to answer when Ellen directly asked: "Did y'all make out?" Marcia said, "We danced." Then, when asked again by Ellen, Marcia admitted: "We did take a trip to the Bay Area."

But readers of The ENQUIRER already knew that — with reporters revealing in 1995 that Chris Darden's then-girlfriend Judy Johnson hit the roof after Chris and Marcia went off together to San Francisco!

"Judy had been telling friends she was going away with Chris to Mexico in October," said the insider. "But Chris canceled the weekend with her. Then Judy read that on that very weekend he'd gone to San Francisco with Marcia. She was so angry she was spitting blood!"

The ENQUIRER also had the scoop on other ladies that Chris was romancing while losing the O.J. murder trial — and Marcia certainly gave Ellen truthful testimony about how her prosecution partner didn't seem to be in a serious relationship with anybody!

Meanwhile, The ENQUIRER was also confirming that Marcia wasn't looking for anything serious back in 1995. We reported that Chris' love life was in high gear, but Marcia's formerly-wild personal life was in neutral — with the prosecutor putting romance on hold while concentrating on time with friends and family!
