O. J. Simpson says he's angry at slain ex-wife

LOS ANGELES — Ten years after the double murder for which he was acquitted, O.J. Simpson says he is angry at slain ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and hopes to star in a new TV reality show.

"There are times I am angry at her," the NFL Hall of Famer said in comments Fox News Channel aired last night. "There are things that she could be doing with the kids better than I, you know? When it's emotional stuff, especially with my daughter, I am angry with her. I am angry that she found herself hanging out with the group of — who are these people?"

Acquitted of murder charges in the June 12, 1994, double slayings of Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman but later found liable for their deaths in a civil trial, Simpson, 56, steadfastly has maintained his innocence, insisting his ex-wife fell victim to a shadowy world of crime and drugs.

Since families of the murder victims were awarded $33.5 million in damages in 1997, Simpson and his children have retreated into seclusion, living near Miami on a $4 million pension that is exempt from civil-court judgments.

Asked about reports of his involvement in an upcoming reality show, Simpson said, "It's a takeoff on something called 'Punk'd,' " an MTV hidden-camera show featuring Ashton Kutcher pranks on celebrities. "It's me doing gags as Juice ... what they call 'juicing' people." Simpson earned the nickname Juice during his career as a running back

"I'm so angry I could kill her again -- I mean, for the first time."

You folks need to cut give OJ some slack. He has to be dead tired completely exhausted after all these years of searching the nation's golf courses for someone else to blame for the murders he committed the real killers. I mean, you try taking a stab guess as to who might have committed those murders. It ain't easy.

Next up, O.J. Simpson tours in Chicago...

She had it coming
She had it coming
She only had
Herself
To blame.
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha
You would
Have done
The same!

It's a nightmare totally and completely of his own making. There is no excuse or reason for him to be using air. He is despicable and does not deserve anything beyond our absolute contempt.

O.J. is a lost soul. He shouldn't be given any attention by the media.

Oh yeah, like in the first episode they have O.J. hiding behind some foliage while a woman and a friend come home at night...and then he jumps out from behind them, and...uh, oh. Never mind.

Believe me, you wouldn't be the only one.

I'm pretty sure the camera crew would go into cardiac arrest once they discovered that they were going to Juarez, Mexico to find Nicole's real murderers.

I sent Greta an email telling her of my disgust that she would even give that murdering liar any air time. She mailed back that it was a tough decision and she understood my outrage.............soooooo, I guess those of us who choose to can exercise our right to tune out. I hope FoxNews takes a big fall over this, and I'm a big FoxFan.

[skeeter]

I believe one day his son or daughter will blow him away.

Its just like you to look on the bright side.

[Dawgreg]

Because nobody has mustered up enough guts to slice his sorry head off. I will pray about these feelings, but I do so wish someone would give him a slow, agonizing death like he gave Ron and Nicole 10 years ago. I hope he burns in HELL! I have problems with Ito, the lawyers and especially that dumbass jury who had decided LONG before the trial was over that they would accquit. More than half probably didn't have an IQ much above an imbicile.

[angcat]

I thought that was the bright side!

[TXBSAFH]

I can kind of see his point, you know getting blood stains out of those Italian loafers was a pain, he did lose those gloves, the impound fees on his bronco were huge, and being locked up with felons for a year (to short of a time for him if you ask me) made him feel like he was in the Dallas Cowboys training camp. Oh the Horror. (SARCASM OFF)

It's going to be called 'Decapitate'd'.

[Dawgreg]

OMG! That would be the name for it all right!

[Hotdog]

Maybe he should go kill her...AGAIN!

I'm not surprised that Greta would be the first to interview O.J. -- after all, she first became famous for her rabid pro-defense analysis during his trial.

I cant believe that OJ has ceased his hunt for the "real killers".
