Christie Prody was a faithful girlfriend to O.J. Simpson for 13 years, even as her family members questioned why she would date a man who many still believe killed his ex-wife and her friend.
But now Prody said that she often feared for her life during her rocky relationship with the former football star. She says she believes Simpson killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994, a belief that's based on comments Simpson made to her during their relationship.
"It took me many years to realize and face that hard, terrible truth," she told "Good Morning America." "Things he's mentioned about Nicole, how she had it coming because of her lifestyle and who she hung out with, mainly Ron Goldman, I guess."
Simpson was acquitted of the murders, but was slapped with a $33.5 million judgment in a wrongful death civil suit.
Prody, 34, also claims Simpson subjected her to constant physical and emotional abuse. She says Simpson threatened to kill her, an accusation he has denied. She said she tried to leave on several occasions.
"If I did he would find me," Prody said. "[The] only place I had to go were to friends of ours. He would come by & threaten, manipulate. I had no choice at that point. I had nowhere to go."
Prody's attorney Gloria Allred told "Good Morning America" that Prody was lucky she got out of the relationship alive.
"He had the power in the relationship. She was dependent on him & her life was literally in danger," he said. "What some women think is love can lead to a life and death situation."
Simpson is currently serving jail time in Nevada for armed robbery and kidnapping but is appealing his case. His lawyer released a statement refuting Prody's claims.

Gee, who’d have thunk it?
Isn’t she the gal who does the weight loss commercials?
O.J... wasn’t he the guy who commited the racist murder that the majority of black americans agreed with?
Odd.
Some people are slow learners.
You chose to be in a relationship with him. You deserve whatever he did to you. Go play the victimcard on Oprah or something. I don’t care.
I haven’t seen a picture of her, but ... she’s blond, isn’t she?
Cheers!
No! No one ever deserves to be abused.
Having said that, she is incredibly stupid.
IQ = gravel.
I’m going way out on a limb, but could the slut be writing a book?? Ya think??
Definitely. Bustier than Nicole.
Awwwwwwwww, the goofy blonde just saw a guy with a mega buck retirement account from the NFL and thought she’d be able to cash in on it because OJ wouldn’t be too picky about any woman that would look at him.
Opportunist in the extreme, and she’s pro’bly still trying to find out how she can get at his money.
No sympathy for her so called victimization at all...she asked for it. Another dumb cuckoo out for a buck.
If she “feared for her life” then I would simply recommend that she sleep on her stomach.
How many tv spots will she get out of this?
She walked into a relationship with a man who most believed murdered two people - did she really expect a pussy cat? She got what she expected - and stayed. Now that her money train is gone, she’s stabbing him in the back to make a few bucks. I don’t care either way - but it is kind of funny she’s trying to play the victim now.
