O.J. Simpson talks to Larry King about his life as a young athlete and what it was like for him growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco during a 1985 interview on CNN's "Larry King Live." #CNN #News
Seemed! A person doesn't become evil when they commit murder. He's been evil all along and his own profound evil drove him to murdering. He was abusing his wives all along. He's been evil all along. Evil often can be well spoken and handsome
@@Berlynic Yes,...true...true colors My sister married a charmer..he brought her roses..everyday reportedly..took her nice places..years they dated..like his family...married..began seeing black and blue on sisters arms...he had been beating her...broke her ear drum ..they divorced...affected their only child a girl...she decided around 17 she is queer..liked girls He was likable person..still has problems today
The difference in O.J. here is he has nit yet followed his inclinations..he is calmer..has light in his eyes...has attained his goal of success..is happy It is he made decisions and did not turn to God in repentance which gave place to Satan in his later years.....lies...lust...sin God forgives us when we repent...however, forgiveness does not mean we do not walk through the consequences of our behavior.. He wrecked his life .. Only God knows who did what? All I know is that 2 people were killed...and someone or 2 people killed these souls.. If as thought...O.J. killed both..think how is this possible For a man to killed 2 people by himself ? He kills Nicole..blugeons her to death ..while Ron is there.. How does one person bludgeon 2 souls at once ???? and the murderer not have blood also ..cuts and bruises.. Ron.would certainly would have fought hard for his life and hers...but there was blood everywhere. It would take 2 to do this Does not make any sense O.J had no bodily bruises..bleeding which would have been from victims fighting him off defensive wounds How is this explained 🤔🤔🤔 ???
He was indeed and very successful in many area. After what happen with Nicole he Changed. And I think they should have never been together. I once read a story that's said the man was extremely gifted under the belt and that's the major reason her incompatible ex wife stay. Goofy story but still could explain such incompatible couple.
O.J. had it all: Charisma, classic good looks, height (6'2), intelligence, athletically gifted, rich, ... How many ppl get to go through life with all that going for them? What a waste...
Exactly. I agree with you. The only thing is height. That doesn't mean anything. The only thing that's good for is the female. They like tall guys. That's just about it. They make look like being short is a handicap becsuse that smartphone you have in your hand won't exist if it wasn't for short people like eistein, isac newton. Great musicians like beethoven. Most geniuses are short. That's what we need in this world. Not another athlete.
On the other hand, he spent his youth and young adulthood maybe developing CTE. The symptoms of it (the headaches, brain fog, executive function issues, personality changes, uneven moods, depression, explosive rage, paranoia) often start slowly, about ten years later, and really start to kick in around the age when he is accused of having committed the murders. I think if you look at the whole picture, and add the effect of CTE in the mix right then, it would make a very believable match to the powderkeg.
Nothing changed. I'd put money on the fact he has CTE, and cocaine rage is a monster. He never stopped being articulate and charming. People are complicated. Divorce is also a rough thing-- seeing your wife/ husband move on is extremely difficult. I saw a man who's daughter got murdered by her ex husband said move hours away for the first year. It was sound advice. They lived down the street from each other. The fact he bought a house that close was a lil scary.
Intelligent, well-spoken, handsome, successful. Too bad he threw it all away because he couldn't let go of Nicole, it was not love but an obsession, really. How could you have all this potential and ruin it by becoming a double murderer, because you can't control your desires and temper? Tragedy and such a waste of life all around!
@@NobodyImportant-ef3de Did his son cut him too thats why he had blood all in his car and leading to his home? Stop it! It was him, the evidence was overwhelming, he should’ve been jailed!
I thought so until I actually saw him in person. His head was so big, I have no idea how it got into a helmet and I'm not even kidding. Almost the size of his torso.
OJ was very well-spoken, amazing, really. You don't hear people using the English language that well nowadays on TV at all! Stallone, when you watch interviews with him, is similarly well-spoken!
This whole scenario makes me want to read Othello ... (Play by Shakespeare .. the black moor who kills his wife and then himself.) What made the officer so anxious that OJ not kill himself? ( Clue...Nicole was not like Desdemona? Maybe?) Or OJ was not like the Moor, perhaps?
I just watched OJ Made in America and then found this interview. What a tragedy across the board. A lesson to all - that this story could have been in the realm of possibility. OJ tried so hard and was admired and loved. It seems inconceivable what happened - and yet it did.
Charm snd charisma are the red flags for psychopaths and narcissism. Evil use charmant charizma because folks fall for it every time. What I'm saying is, stop bring swayed by charm. Its not a good quality. It's a red flag that tells you to run away from someone charming
I can see why Simpson made it as an actor. He seemed like such a pleasant and levelheaded type of person. No one would ever suspect he was capable of cold- blooded murder. His pleasant personality was an act.
Fun fact; O.J. was actually looked at by James Cameron to play the Terminator in the first movie. But they passed on him because it was thought he was "Too nice" and wouldn't be believed as a heartless killing machine. I'm not joking.
This is what I like to see. What OJ was like before the trial. The fame and popularity OJ had before 6/12/1994 and 6/17/94 is so interesting to me because I never lived to see it. And you hear people who did live during that time talk about how great OJ was.
@@Ugk0622 Hey did it. We know because of the overkill. People hired to do a job do enough to get the job done and that is all. Ron and Nicole were murdered by somebody very angry. Jeez who could that be?
@@stanpotter7764 no he didn't it was the serial killer glen Rodgers. All OJ wanted him to do was steal the jewelry back which was his to begin with, he didn't intend on seeing the 2 people their and that's what happened
Its crazy how OJ changed.. very professional in this interview and charming compared to the interview he did in 2006 to promote his book "if i did it." Cant believe this is the same person.
I had the privilege and pleasure of working out at USC over 2 summers with OJ. We lived in the same apartment complex(ELLENDALE ESTATES)--and most days during the summer( I was a Division 3 football player from Pennsylvania working freight as a teamster over those summers). There'd be six or seven of us who would meet at the field and do drills. He'd sometimes call up to me to let me know guys were meeting up. What I remember most about him is how welcoming he was to all. Sometimes when he came home... the kids in the apartment complex would be calling for him to come out and swim in the pool. He'd change--and yep--he'd hang out with them. My opinion? Worst thing ever happened to the fella was going to Hollywood. A place i actually happened to come to know pretty well, myself.
He seemed like such a likeable guy, too likeable. I understand why he did it though, but still doesn't make it right. Nicole triggered the collapse of the first marriage, requiring that he pay his first wife 26k a year on top of 1,500 a year for child support. At the same time, he likely was blaming Nicole for the break up and thats how he psychologically guilt tripped her to stay with him. Remember, the abuse started even before they were married. I suspect Nicole started making threats to divorce and take the kids and he didn't like that. He probably was saying to himself, you are not gonna leave me, take my two kids and get money for free. Thats why he started stalking her even after they eventually divorced. I suspect what pushed it over the edge he was not invited to the recital and decided to stalk and see what she was up to. Ron and Nicole obviously were planning hanky panky, the glasses was just the perfect opportunity to go over. OJ was likely in the house hearing everything that was being planned for that evening. He always had the knife with him and this time, he was gonna use it. He probably said, you are not bringing no white man over here and do any horizontal polka with my kids sleeping up stairs. He likely was hoping to kill her before Ron got there and possibly hoping Ron could be framed for it. But Ron actually walked in on the murder and tried to stop it and got killed in the process.
even people in Buffalo know he did it🙄i don’t think there will be too many tears at this point… it’s sad that his crimes overshadowed his athletic success though…..once upon a time he was a role model to kids…..
@@sunnydelight5255 So 12 jurors, sequestered for nearly a year, were that resolute in delivering ONE GUARANTEED OUTCOME because of another incident that occurred a few years earlier?! Nah, I don't see it.
Everyone in Brentwood knew Nicole was a Skeeza! OJ snapped because he thought Nicole and that Homosexual Ron Goldman were messing around which was totally ridiculous! It all started when OJ left his black wife and 2 beautiful children for that Coked up Skeeza Nicole and her bevy of Coked up friends like fellow Skeeza Kris Jenner and homosexual Ron Goldman! OJ Simpson should be a lesson to every black man in America! That in this country, Vanilla belongs in a fking Pound Cake and not in your Bed!
He made bad choices. How does that compute with being good is my question. A person who can control their senses makes good choices. But all the wealth or fame or other opulences of the world will never satisfy a person with uncontrolled senses. Thanks for posting this whoever did. It's interesting.
WTF ???, i didnt know LARRY KING show was on in 1985 ???? lol i mean, i was only 13 going on 14 years old in 1985, so i guess i wasnt into that mature politics type of shows yet. i was into CARTOONS, VIDEO GAMES, RIDING BIKES, RAP MUSIC VIDEOS and HANGIN WITH THE HOMEBOYS IN THE STREETS OF NYC in 1985, lol
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Rest easy to the innocent OJ Simpson 🙏🏾 The "OJ Did It" industry is still alive and well 30 years later, obviously.
OJ on top of the world. This man was idled and loved as a football player and in front of the camera doing games as analyst and commercials. What triggers him to beat up his wife and murder is beyond explaining. His state of mind must of been off the charts crazy. Medication, drugs, inducing jealousy who knows? No excuse tragic for all involved victims include his family and deceased.
Hey Norm Macdonald , you see this? I wish Norm was still here, he would be making a guest appearance on the next weekend update! Hey - thats my lucky stabbing hat!
Incredibly. People *loved* him. He was warm, great smile, great story (poor kid, single mom who worked nights to take care of him) and an incredible athlete. He had a lot of violent ‘incidents” but it wasn’t known by the public.
People😢 my country people... The mental suffering is much more acute than the physical suffering in US... (& We know how people suffer physically)... So things like mental schizophrenia, dementia, wild swings in anger and such are the cultural karma backbite of drinking the innocent mother cow milk and then brutally ripping her body to shreds for steak, burgers, ribs, tacos or meatloaf. You don't do that to a mother who gives milk freely. Stop the factory farm conveyor belt of murder and we will see a better human race. Immediately. But people are stuck in the cycle of gratification of tongue belly and genital. Nowadays, what youngster even knows what a cow or bull or calf is... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 The sports world may gradually come to acknowledge that elephants, gorilla, and yes our dear cow and ox are not meat eaters. They are on plant based diets and strong and powerful. Killers don't have to be meat eaters tho. Just saying that we are not animals. We have the ability to make higher consciousness choices. We can read and write and play music and make movies, but ask any animal to do that and it will never ever happen. I pray for the Sorry Mr Simpson, because he had bad karma.
