Summary
Thirty-two years after Nicole Brown Simpson’s 1994 murder, Joseph Perrulli says in a new memoir she once told him she would “rather die” than return to O.J. Simpson.
Perrulli said Brown Simpson described a severe beating during their 1992 relationship, telling him O.J. had hit her so badly she blacked out and feared he would kill her.
His book, “The Forgotten Briefcase,” draws on letters, photos and keepsakes he says he rediscovered in 2024 after storing them away for more than three decades.
Perrulli said he ended the romance after becoming alarmed by O.J. Simpson’s continued presence around Brown Simpson, then was shocked to see the couple back together at a 1993 Christmas party.
Brown Simpson, 35, and Ron Goldman were killed on June 12, 1994; O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the 1995 criminal trial but found liable in a 1997 civil case and ordered to pay $33.5 million.
What chilling warnings about O.J. Simpson did Nicole's ex-lover hide for 30 years, and why reveal them now?
Could a forgotten briefcase finally prove Nicole Brown Simpson predicted her own murder at the hands of O.J.?
