   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.”
