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?
Relatives Of Murder Victim Ron Goldman Score Court Win
Today, the Goldman family won a court order seizing any money O.J. Simpson earns for lending his name and likeness to a football video game called All-Pro Football 2K8, which includes a fictional team called the Assassins and a knife-wielding mascot.
Why would O.J. lend his name and face to a team called "Assassins" with a knife-wielding mascot?
Is he winking at us in some macabre kind of way, or does he just not give a damn?
The Video-game publisher, Take-Two Interactive, (TTWO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) which has come under fire in the past for offensive content in its games, is now testing the taste barrier with All-Pro Football 2K8. (A video clip on the Game Trailers Web site shows Simpson, after he scores a touchdown prompting a large hooded mascot (above) above the scoreboard to make stabbing motions with a large knife.)
The legal victory was part of an effort by Goldman's estate to satisfy a $33.5 million judgment won against Simpson in a wrongful death suit brought against him in the 1994 stabbing deaths of Goldman and Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.
Take-Two declined to reveal how much it has paid Simpson for the right to use his likeness in the game. But a video-game industry source estimates Take-Two could have paid Simpson anywhere between $50,000 and $125,000.
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.
