O.J. SIMPSON threw his ex-wife out of a moving car, beat her during sex and threatened to cut off her boyfriend’s heads, according to her horrific diary entries that detailed her tragic story.
As a victim of years of brutal beatings and trapped within a circle of celebrity vultures, Nicole Brown Simpson felt like her fate was already sealed. She might have hid her dark secret from the public’s view, but in private, she was keeping a personal record in case the day came where she wouldn’t be able to speak for herself.
“I go to the gas station, he’s there. I go to the Payless shoe store, and he’s there,” Nicole recounted to her mother before her death.
“I’m driving and he’s behind me.”
It was 1994, and by this stage, Nicole had suffered at the hands of her famous husband, O.J. Simpson, for years, police documents reveal.
Yet while most of her friends claim they had no idea of the abuse she was suffering at the time, when prosecutors discovered Nicole’s safety deposit box, her timeline of abuse unravelled before their eyes.
“She literally created an accounting, an audit trail of acts of violence because she wanted people to know what was going on in her life,” Deputy District Attorney Lydia Bodin said in 1995.
O.J. was ultimately acquitted of Nicole and Ron Goldman’s stabbing murder, yet diary entries and witness reports that weren’t heard during O.J.’s trial have since come to light over the more than 20 years since her death.
Global interest in the case has peaked yet again, thanks in part to its revival on American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson.
But there was one friend Nicole could rely on, and that came in the form of Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, who in 2014 revealed in the weeks before her death, Nicole approached her close friend with some terrifying news.
“She told me, ‘Things are really bad between O.J. and I. He’s going to kill me and he’s going to get away with it. You’ll watch and see what happens’.
“She knew exactly what was going to happen to her.”
This stark revelation is just a drop in the ocean when it comes to what the world didn’t know about O.J. Simpson during what was dubbed the “Trial of the Century”.
Two weeks after O.J. was acquitted of the murder in 1995, the National Enquirer published shocking excerpts from Nicole’s diary, where she wrote of her ex-husband’s threats just nine days before her murder.
“You hang up on me last night, you’re gonna pay for this, b----,” Nicole recounted O.J. threatening.
She wrote that when she was two-months pregnant with their son, Justin, he called her a “fat pig”.
While jurors heard this piece if evidence, they didn’t hear the rest of the story, that Simpson aimed a gun at her and demanded she have an abortion.
A 1988 entry details how O.J. beat her after a gay man kissed Justin, while a 1989 entry details how he threw her out of a moving car after a night out drinking.
Eddie Reynoza, who co-starred with O.J. in Naked Gun 2 1/2, alleged in court documents Simpson told him in 1991 if he ever caught any of Nicole’s boyfriend’s driving his cars, he would “cut their (expletive) heads off!”
This might explain a possible motive for the murders; Nicole had allowed Goldman (who was killed alongside her) to drive her Ferrari, despite the pair’s relationship being described as “platonic”.
While the State wanted the diary included as evidence in the trial, Judge Lance Ito deemed it “inadmissable hearsay”.
“I wanted to be a wonderful wife ... but you made me feel so ugly. You beat the holy hell out of me. ... I hated you so much,” wrote Nicole in another entry.
“I just don’t see how our stories compare — I was so bad because I wore sweats, left shoes around plus I didn’t keep a perfect house or comb my hair the way you liked it — or had dinner ready at the precise moment you walked through the door, or that I just plain got on your nerves sometimes.”
“I just don’t see how that compares to infidelity, wife beating, verbal abuse — I just don’t think everybody goes through this.”
