Uh oh — O.J.’s angry!
Monday, October 9th, 2000O.J. Simpson insists that his ex-girlfriend Christine Prody was fibbing when she told the National Enquirer that she’d heard him confess to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman; she did it for the tabloid’s $50,000 payoff, he says. And he’s also denying Prody’s contention that he’s been harassing her. In fact, he says, she’s stalking him.
“This girl has a substance abuse problem and that’s why I ended our relationship,” O.J. tells Hollywood Gossip. “But now she is following me and harassing me to the point where a police officer has told me it amounts to stalking. This is a typical ‘Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned’ and it’s making my life very difficult just now.”
The two split, he says, after his attempts to get her help failed. “The next thing I know is that she’s been offered thousands of dollars from a supermarket tabloid to spill the beans on me,” he says. “She had been evicted from her apartment, her phone was shut off, her friends were abandoning her. She became easy prey when the tabloids moved in.”
Memo to O.J.: Your handlers don’t like it when you call a woman “easy prey.”
