O.J. Simpson has some cajones on him — saying with a seemingly straight face that he won’t return to Los Angeles out of fear of running into the actual person who murdered his ex-wife.
The disgraced ex-NFL’er — who was acquitted for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, but found liable for the latter in a civil suit shortly thereafter — dished his thoughts on visiting the City of Angels anew in a wide-ranging interview with The Athletic … and he says he doesn’t entertain it for one very specific, ass-backward reason.
O.J. is quoted as saying … “I have trouble with L.A.,” going on to add, “People may think this is self-serving, but I might be sitting next to whoever did it. I really don’t know who did this.”
That’s pretty much what his hesitation boils down to — that he might, perhaps, end up running into the “real” murderer … and maybe get murdered himself. At least that’s how it sounds on its face here. BTW, O.J. had more to say on the so-called one who got away.
He says, “I figured eventually somebody would confess to something, you know? I had one suspect I told my lawyers to look at. I still think he might be involved, but I can’t talk about it.” O.J. also feels he lives a “good life” now in Vegas — despite what people may think.
While O.J. was limited to just Nevada after getting parole, it appears the guy’s been given a longer leash over time — with reports saying he’s gone to Florida of late to visit his kids, with permission from his P.O., of course. So, it does seem he could come to L.A. if he wanted.
The guy will be on parole until late next year.
