It's safe to assume that prosecuting one of the most high-profile trials of the 20th century was no easy feat — but Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor on the O.J. Simpson case was forced to contend with a myriad of additional struggles because of her gender. After some astonishing courtroom antics, incriminating L.A.P.D. testimony, and the mother of all perms, this week’s episode of the trial ends in devastation after a topless photo of Sarah Paulson’s Marcia Clark is printed in The National Enquirer. Clark, publicly humiliated once more, dissolves into tears in the courtroom. In FX’s fictionalized version of events, Clark says that it must have been her ex-husband, Gabriel Horowitz, who sold her photos. In truth, it was her ex-mother-in-law, Clara Horowitz, who sold her out to The National Enquirer. Woman on woman betrayal is always worse. The photo was taken in 1979 and showed Clark topless on a St. Tropez beach with then-husband Horowitz.
