Oprah Blasts OJ's Book, Which Lets You Know She Past Tripping Over Whether Orenthal Is Guilty


By Cousin Kim

In the infamous 1994 criminal trial, OJ Simpson was found innocent of the murders on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In 1997 the Brown and Goldman families were awarded 33.5 million in a civil trial. None of that money has been collected until now.

Last week, OJ Simpson's book, "If I Did It", was released. The book, whose publication was cancelled by Rupert Murdoch last year amidst public protest, resurfaced this year. Originally, Simpson's children, including those with Nicole as well as his daughter Arnelle from a previous marriage, were shareholders in the book and stood to receive twenty five percent of the profits generated from book sales. OJ Simpson formed a corporation in his children's names allegedly to avoid paying the Goldman and Brown families.

According to Denise Brown, Sydney & Justin, ages 22 and 19, only knew that the book was a work of fiction, but did not know its contents.

The Goldman family, who now have the rights to the book are publishing it and will receive ninety percent of the profit from the sales of the book. According to Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, this amounts to about seventeen cents per book profit. The Goldmans contributed a chapter of their own to the book. In an interview with Oprah, Goldman called the book a confession, in contrast to last year when called the book a "manual for murder."

One can't help but wonder if this "about-face" has anything to do with the probability of profit from the book as Denise Brown, Nicole Brown Simpson's sister, insinuated in her one on one interview with Oprah. Refusing to appear onstage with the Goldmans, Denise Brown called profit from the book "blood money." She also revealed that the estate of Sidney and Justin, the children of Nicole Brown Simpson, was suing OJ Simpson for forty percent of the proceeds of the book. Nicole's father is the executor of the estate. Denise described her sister as an amazing mom who would give you the shirt off her back. This is in stark contrast to the alleged characterization of Nicole in the book as a drug-addicted slut. Since her sister's murder, Brown has dedicated herself to fighting domestic violence.


Oprah was clear in her assertion that she was not promoting this book as she has in the past with other books through "Oprah's Book Club". She said that she would not buy it nor read it. In contrast Christopher Darden, a member of the prosecution team during the OJ trial, said that although he was torn between the views of the Brown family and the Goldman family, t he would buy several copies if it would help the Goldmans profit. Marcia Clark, barely recognizable with blond hair and some questionable cosmetic surgery , agreed with Christopher Darden's view and said that she would never forgive herself for failing to obtain justice for the Brown and Goldman families.

Lady O defended our first amendment rights and welcomed viewers to do what their conscience dictated in regards to purchasing and reading the book. She wished peace for the Browns and the Goldmans; a peace which Kim Goldman, Ron's sister, said would never be possible for the victims' families.

Is Fred Goldman a Money Hungry Hypocrite?

Denise Brown, sister of slain victim Nicole Brown, says he is.

She accuses Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and other family members of hypocrisy for plans to publish a book that he had formerly called "disgusting and despicable." Brown said she was "shocked and horrified" to learn that a literary agent for the Goldman family had reached a deal to publish the controversial O.J. Simpson book "If I Did It" about the slaying of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend Ronald Goldman. As such, Brown is calling for a boycott of the book.

But hold on, there's a twist:

David Cook, an attorney for Fred Goldman, called Brown inconsistent for denouncing the publishing plan after lawyers for her and her family sought a share of possible profits from the book for themselves!

So is sister Brown just angry that she isn't getting a piece of the publishing pie? And do you think O.J. is getting anything from this book? Or is he just laughing?

BREAKING NEWS: BLACK WOMEN DISGUSTED WITH O.J. AS MANUSCRIPT IS RELEASED ONLINE!


TMZ has obtained a copy of the infamous manuscript by killer OJ Simpson where he outlines IF he had killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, HOW it went down.

Get ready folks, it's disgusting.

In an excert from the book If I Did It, the manuscript begins with the passage:

I'm going to tell you a story you've never heard before, because no one knows this story the way I know it.

It takes place on the night June 12, 1994, and it concerns the murder of my ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her young friend, Ronald Goldman.

I want you to forget everything you think you know about that night because I know the facts better than anyone.

I know the players. I've seen the evidence. I've heard the theories. And, of course, I've read all the stories: That I did it. That I did it but I don't know I did it. That I can no longer tell fact from fiction. That I wake up in the middle of the night, consumed by guilt, screaming.

As for the murders, Simpson describes a chilling scene:

Nicole moaned, regaining consciousness. She stirred on the ground and opened her eyes and looked at me, but it didn't seem like anything was registering.

I looked over at Goldman, and I was fuming. I guess he thought I was going to hit him, because he got into his little karate stance. "What the fuck is that?" I said. "You think you can take me with your karate shit?"

He started circling me, bobbing and weaving, and if I hadn't been so fucking angry I would have laughed in his face. "O.J., come on!" It was Charlie again, pleading.

Charlie walked over and planted himself in front of me blocking my view. "We are fucking done here, man-let's go!"
I noticed the knife in Charlie's hand, and in one deft move I removed my right glove and snatched it up.

"We're not going anywhere," I said, turning to face Goldman. Goldman was still circling me, bobbing and weaving, but I didn't feel like laughing anymore.

"You think you're tough, motherfucker?" I said. I could hear Charlie just behind me, saying something, urging me to get the fuck out of there, and at one point he even reached for me and tried to drag me away, but I shook him off, hard, and moved toward Goldman. "Okay, motherfucker!" I said. "Show me how tough you are!"

Then something went horribly wrong, and I know what happened, but I can't tell you exactly how. I was still standing in Nicole's courtyard, of course, but for a few moments I couldn't remember how I'd gotten there, when I'd arrived, or even why I was there.

Then it came back to me, very slowly: The recital-with little Sydney up on stage, dancing her little heart out; me, chipping balls into my neighbor's yard; Paula, angry, not answering her phone; Charlie, stopping by the house to tell me some more ugly shit about Nicole's behavior. Then what? The short, quick drive from Rockingham to the Bundy condo. And now?

Now I was standing in Nicole's courtyard, in the dark, listening to the loud, rhythmic, accelerated beating of my own heart. I put my left hand to my heart and my shirt felt strangely wet.

I looked down at myself. For several moments, I couldn't get my mind around what I was seeing. The whole front of me was covered in blood, but it didn't compute. Is this really blood? I wondered. And whose blood is it? Is it mine? Am I hurt?

O.K. Now I'm scared! Not because of that, but because of this:


Black folks, especially sistahs, are so done with O.J. Here's why.
