krazekiddd Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Either this is really twisted or he is desperate to make money.... Simpson Interview LOS ANGELES - In a new TV interview and book, O.J. Simpson discusses how he would have committed the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend "if I did it." The two-part television interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox, the TV network said Tuesday. "O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade." "This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. Its the definitive last chapter in the Trial of the Century," Mike Darnell, executive vice president of alternative programming for Fox, said in a statement. The interview, conducted with book publisher Judith Regan, will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed," the network said. The book is published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers run by Regan. Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family. Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not returned Tuesday night.

bgwfreak Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 He's insane. It's just going to make everyone think he did it even more. If I didn't kill my wife, why would I even consider how I "could" have?? It's just insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I would of done it by wearing gloves that were a wee bit too small... What a complete joke this guy is. Matt "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 All the ridiculous money people are making over this movie should all be given to Nicole and Ron's families. This is just disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jynx242 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 It's funny how this rather *tasteless* interview is coming out right before the release of his book. Golly - those legal fees must still be mounting for him to "whore" himself out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 This is absolutely ridiculous. I put some of this on Fox for even attempting something like this. But it is all about the cash, just like everything else. Straight Cash, Homey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I wonder how much longer it's going to be before he cracks and finally confesses? We all know he did it. It's not a question of race, it's a question of EVIDENCE! OJ should not have walked because of ONE crooked detective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterviper Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Why in the hell would anyone want to discuss or get interviewed on how to kill anyone???? I just dont understand people and how they think sometimes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRC Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Simpson is obviously responsable for the murders. I don't see how they could have thought he was innocent. Didn't he try to run away when they arrested him? This makes it even more clear that he's a frickin phyco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 So far all of the responses to this thread have been negative...... Where are the apologists defending O.J.??? You know because he is a Black Man who was "Framed" by the LAPD. I feel sorry for the children of Nicole. It's bad enough that their Mom was nearly decapitated, but to have their own father do an interview describing how he would have done it is truely disturbing. O.J. must miss all of the attention and accolades he once received. Since he is fast approaching 60 years of age, he'll appartently do or say anything to stay in the public eye.

CoasterFanatic Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It's just going to make everyone think he did it even more. Is that possible? I highly recommend this read by the man who put away Manson. If he would have prosecuted OJ, he would not be available for this interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 You know the weird thing is that I will never forget the white bronco chase for one reason: it happened when we were at Six Flags over Georgia. We missed the live showing of it, but when we got back to our room it was all over the news. I still didn't really understand what all the hype was until I got home the next day. Remember this is before the current state of things where you can see CNN in your bathroom stall. . The OJ trial made me want to never turn my TV on again. I was so sick and tired of hearing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 This is the most stupid idea I have ever heard. It is also a prime example of that if you're famous in any way, you can get a book deal, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Let's just hope he finds the real killer soon. Lol! OJ Simpson is asking for trouble. Instead of telling everyone how he would of done it, why doesn't he just continuously look sad? It would make him look more innocent then telling the world how he would of done it. Its sick and tasteless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I wonder how much longer it's going to be before he cracks and finally confesses? For the guy to crack he'd have to feel a wee bit guilty; i don't sence that at all. Hes just a sick, twisted, disgrace of a human, thats all. Oh, and if i ever murder somone, the first thing i'd do is get propper fitting gloves, DUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingScooter Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Maybe he saw Fatal Attraction once too many times. Especially the Suspension of Disbelief part.

apollo210 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 OJ is inasane! Who would actually write a book on that! He must be thrown in jail because now we know that he did it! Boy, he's now going to HELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 ^The funny thing is that everyone pretty much "knew" that he did it at the time, but he still got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazekiddd Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yahoo News NEW YORK - After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It." "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that his has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson." A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned — like the Fox network — by News Corp. In the projects, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman. Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans. "He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week. The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "Fox should cancel this evil sweeps stunt." One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder in a case that became its own television drama. The former football star and announcer was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family. Judith Regan, publisher of "If I Did It," said she considered the book to be Simpson's confession. The television special was to air on two of the final three nights of the November sweeps, when ratings are watched closely to set local advertising rates. It has been a particularly tough fall for Fox, which has seen none of its new shows catch on and is waiting for the January bows of "American Idol" and "24."

DerekRx Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think they cancelled it and are burning all copy of the book and in its place writing a new book and a new interview called "OJ Simpson: If I was any dumber" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 O.J. just wants to get back into the "spotlights" again. Why do Filmstars,Rockstars etc do such dumb things, they need special help and check out a "white padded room". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
