O.J. Simpson Reportedly Writing Hypothetical Book About Murdering Wife

Posted on October 23, 2006

A number of reports say that O.J. Simpson is being paid $3.5 million for an autobiography in which he describes how he "hypothetically" might have murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Relatives of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman are understandably upset and frustrated that Simpson could potentially profit through a tell-all book. It reportedly has a working title, If I Did It.

The Times Online reports that Denise Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson says, "If this is true, that is blood money and it's evil and disgusting. Any company that actually pays him for this is just as bad as he is." The book is reported to have the working title If I Did It. Details were published by the National Enquirer newspaper last week on the same day that Goldman's father, Fred, launched a new court attempt to seize some of Simpson's assets in part repayment of a $33.5m judgment against him after he lost a 1997 civil court case.

Goldman lawyer Jonathan Polak says, "It is horribly frustrating and at the same time demoralising for Fred Goldman and his family, especially when they read about things like this. Simpson appears to be attempting to profit not off his football fame, but off the very thing that was so inhuman and that everyone knows he did."

A National Enquirer story says the book reportedly describes how author Simpson "grabbed a knife from a man who accompanied him to Nicole's home - and moments later found himself covered in blood and looking down on the bodies of Nicole and Ron".

How absolutely vile.
