Marcia Clark: Black Female Jurors No Fans Of Mine

Marcia Clark isn't a fan of "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" — especially since it's portraying the former prosecutor as dangerously naive! Now she's giving interviews to fight back against how she's portrayed in the series! "For me, it's not entertainment," Marcia told Slate.com. "It's very tough. It's very painful. It was a nightmare that didn't end for 15 months!"

Marcia revealed how she's offended that the series suggests she was naive about the racial issues at play after O.J. Simpson was arrested for the brutal murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. "The People v. O.J. Simpson" suggests that she was foiled from the start, as the O.J. Dream Team of defense lawyers brought in a jury mostly made of African-American women.

The show portrays Marcia (played by Sarah Paulson, seen here) as still being confident that her courtroom style would win over the ladies of the jury. "The racial divide was absolutely crystal clear," insisted Marcia. "Couldn't be more clear — and that women in particular, African-American women in particular, [were] no fans of mine. I wasn't in denial about that."

Marcia added: "I knew there was going to be African-American women on the jury. It was unavoidable." The losing prosecutor — who saw O.J. walk away from overwhelming DNA evidence — also denied that it was a mistake to focus on O.J.'s previous abuse of Nicole during their marriage.

"I think it's true that the jury was not impressed with the domestic violence evidence," said Marcia. "Nevertheless, it's the motive. We have to present the case we have, not the case we wish we had." Marcia also told Slate how the Trial of the Century turned her into a celebrity overnight — and how little she was prepared for the change.

"It all kind of left me incredulous,"  Marcia recalled. "I didn't understand what people cared about my makeup and my clothing. I'm a prosecutor. I'm not an actress — but, somehow, we all became soap opera figures."
