Schiller also revealed that Simpson had his house redecorated in advance of the jury’s visit to his Brentwood home; Simpson wanted all the photos of white women taken down and photos of his family put up instead.
O.J. Simpson reportedly once contemplated suicide in Kim Kardashians’ childhood bedroom while seeking refuge at Robert Kardashian Sr’s according to a Wednesday, September 30 report from People magazine.
“Please remember me as ‘The Juice, ‘” Simpson pleaded, his voice breaking after he was charged with the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Here’s where I don’t say he couldn’t have been the only one. Please, please, please, please leave my kids at peace. And now, in a new interview he gave to ABC’s 20/20 for the 20th anniversary of OJ’s not guilty verdict, Schiller recounts a disturbing story about how things nearly played out very differently.
“Oh boy, I don’t know how I ended up here”, Simpson allegedly said on the tape, obtained by Schiller.
Lawrence claimed Simpson considered taking his own life while staying with his friend and attorney Robert Kardashian, Kim’s father. When found, Schiller said Simpson told the Kardashian patriarch he was planning to commit suicide right then and there. My little girl Kim sleeps here. “I can’t have my little girl in this bedroom and every time I come in here I’m gonna see your body”.
“I didn’t speak up when I thought anything was wrong or asked her more, ‘Do you want to talk about it?'” Jenner, now 59, adds.
