I refuse to mention the name of the asshole ex-football star who viciously murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and friend, Ron Goldman, at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles on June 12, 1994.
All I have to say is that I am truly disgusted that Beaufort Books (some small ass book company who is selling their soul) is going ahead with the publishing of a book that basically is a confession of how this prick murdered two innocent people.
If you have read any of the excerpts from the book you would know how disgusting and vile this book it. All I have to ask of you is PLEASE do not give this asshole any attention. Do not buy this book. Do not mention this dickheads name.
I strongly feel that if the publishing of this ‘book’ is inevitable, the proceeds should no doubt go to the families of the slain, or to the charities of their choice…because God knows, they have suffered enough over these past 13 years. That’s 13 Christmases, 13 birthdays, 13 years of missing their loved ones. And believe me kids, I know from experience, it never gets easier. You only learn to COPE.
From Bloomberg.com:
“The book is a supposedly hypothetical account of how (the former football star) might have murdered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman in 1994. It was originally backed by editor Judith Regan and scheduled for publication last November by News Corp.’s HarperCollins.
Following a public outcry, publication was canceled, the printed books were destroyed, Regan was fired and her ReganBooks imprint was dropped by HarperCollins.
Beaufort, a small independent publisher in New York, said it expects the book to reach stores by Oct. 3. In the past, it has often operated as a “vanity” press, with the author and publisher splitting costs as well as any profit.
Beaufort spokesman Michael Wright said the company had reached a traditional publishing agreement and costs would not be shared. He wouldn’t disclose whether or how much money was paid to the Goldmans for the rights.
Both the Goldman and Brown families originally protested publication of “If I Did It,” though earlier this year the Goldmans — frustrated with the slow pace of payment on the $33.5 million owed to both families by Simpson following the 1997 wrongful-death judgment against him in a civil suit — sued for rights to the book.
On July 30, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Miami awarded most of the potential proceeds from book sales to the Goldmans. The judge added that any publisher of the book “must promise the court it will maximize the sale of the asset.”

The Goldman’s creep me out….they just do. The Brown family has conducted themselves with class in trying to help victims of DV while Goldman pops up on every showing whining about not getting his paycheck. I thought it was disgusting when OJ was going to get the proceeds and I think its disgusting that Goldman would actively seek a publisher to distribute this book. Stopping OJ from getting the money is one thing, but it really is all about the money IMO to the Goldmans. I wont be buying it.
I have issues with the victim’s family publishing this book just to get their money. Yes, OJ should be rotting in prison. Yes, he should give the families every dime he has. But should the family stoop this low for their share? No. It’s disgusting. I guess it just shows how much their loved one was really worth to them.
I think that Goldman is just trying to be the thorn in his side…for the rest of his life. It’s his way of dealing with it, and of getting revenge. I’m sure the Goldman’s have their reasons for doing what they are doing. Maybe to show the world how guilty OJ is by letting people read the crazy confessions. Everyone has read parts of it anyway. And I doubt the Goldman’s are taking the money and running out and buying BMW’s or fur coats. Get real.
He should rot in hell for what he’s done. An eye for an eye, but being a Latin woman it kills me how White women who has been the subject of violent gets lots of media attention. I know if she was Latin or African America- America could care less! Its disgusting what people value these days.
Spicy, You yourself are a strong woman. There are no words to ease your lose but I understand.
Never do I reread my comments ——-Lost! Boy am I getting old lol
Yeah right Delores….its all about being a thorn and has nothing to do with the potential millions….uh huh.
And they don’t deserve the money? BITCH PLEASE. Im sure they have spent hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS on fighting OJ in court, taking time off work, funerals, among other things. THEY DESERVE IT. What is your child worth to you?
