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.
