Goldman’s, Going, Going, Gone!
August 14th, 2007
Is the family of Ron Goldman grieving or greedy? Since reading this morning that they’re planning to release the O.J. Simpson book they tried so desperately to keep off the shelves, it’s hazy for me.
Here’s the deal: a literary agent has picked a publisher for the inane memoir, “If I Did It,” the hypothetical tale of how the ex-NFLer would have masterminded the killing of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. A court awarded the Goldman’s rightsto the book, in an attempt to keep Simpson from pocketing a $630,000 advance from HarperCollins. I get it.
But instead of letting the dumb idea of a book die, the Goldman’s plan to change the book title to “Confessions of a Double Murderer” and profit it from it anyway, taking 90 percent of the proceeds. (Some will go to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice.) Way to stick it to the Juice and honor a deceased family member. Oh, the Brown family will get a piece of the remaining 10 percent.
I have a message for the Goldman’s: It’s been 12 years since the trial, and 13 since the murders. Enough. Let it go. Relax, Relate, Release. If not, I’m betting every cent you plan to squeeze out of O.J. Simpson will be spent on therapy. Is
anybody feelin’ me? Let me know.

I agree, the Goldman’s are looking for a “gold-mine”, instead of closure. They need to let their son rest in peace. I believe OJ wrote the book to get the Goldman’s and the Brown’s off his back in regards to the money. I hope both parties will let it go and move on with their lives.
I agree with you 100%,I myself feel like the Goldmens {money sniffers } are trying there best too take all of OJ’s money the little that he has .I dont believe there going to let this rest .They are being greedy.
Sorry, I can’t agree with you.
If this had happened to your loved on you would be doing the same, which is to squeeze every dime for this murderer.
It is amazing to me how black folks could care less that this man murdered these two human beings, but they put him on a pedestal he does not deserve from the black community.
He has never supported LA’s black community! Even during the roits, where was OJ? He was in Brentwood with the white folks and other affluent blacks folks!
He did grace the black community with his presense after the almost black jury cut him loose by eating at the Blvd Cafe with his daughter Arnel. The black community has not seen him since! LOL!
OJ was the blackest white man you will ever know, and his ego, and head was so big he could hardly lift it.
Sorry, this man killed those people in a fit of RAGE! I would be on him like white on rice if he had gotten away with murdering my daughter/son/mother.
OJ LOST in the civil case, and he had to pay.
End of the story!
JUST BECAUSE O.J HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY DOES NOT MEAN HE KILLED THOSE PEOPLE. FACE IT PEOPLE HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE KILLED THEM? WAS YOU THERE?
THERE ARE ALOT OF BLACK FOLK THAT DON’T DO NOTHING FOR THEIR COMMUNITY…THAT DON’T MAKE THEM A KILLER!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY?
They say it’s not the money but every time Mr. O. J. Simpson makes money, they are trying to grab every bit of it. To me his son life was all about the money, let the man rest in peace I don’t think your son would want to be reminded in such a nasty way. If you are going to remeber why not do it in a somber way not with hate on your mind, because you think this man killed your son. And you’re trying to take every dime this man has, he has children too!
In reference to the Goldmans’ receiving the procedes from the book that OJ wrote is down right rediculous. They suppose to have changed the name, change the ending etc. If he wanted to get money from this tragedy that happened to his son and Nicole he should (Goldman) have written his own book in his own words. I gues he is jus that dumb. After 12 years he is still making those crocodile tears, please get over it. I am sorry he lost his son but he needs to go on with his life and get a life. He is just behind getting money. Him suing for the procedes from the book proves that he is just behind getting money. I really hope that not one book is sold.
Awww come on and wake up OJ killed those two people. Everybody knew he killed them,but the only reason I think blacks supported him on trail because he was a black man. I have known people to say it doesn’t matter if he is guilty, its time for one of us to win. He was stupid enough to put the book together, so I am behind the Goldman’s. I say change the name of the book,put the book out, and use the money as they see fit. OJ has made a video game with a knife holding mascott, a prank show he produced, and this book “if i did kill them”. He is taunting them the familes, so I would react the same way as the familes. You try to relax, relate, and release if somebody kills one of your famiy members.
Personally, I agree to not wanting OJ to profit BUT I could not consciously take the book, rename it and make a few changes and sell it to the public. The book is about how a person “would have” killed my deceased child, that crap belongs in the garbage not on bookshelves for money. Goldman is just as warped as OJ is for writing the book if he takes the money. I could even see donating all of the proceeds to charity but he is taking home 90%…that’s nothing but greed, plain and simple.
OJ isn’t being put on a pedestal by me — trust me — and I do understand the pain and grief that involves losing a loved one. But I also say publishing this book is completely irresponsible. Yeah, it’s unfortunate that two lives were lost, but OJ has children. Why should they be subjected to the public reading a “hypothetical” account of how their father may have killed their mother? The Goldman’s should consider that over all the millions of dollars they’re owed.
OJ was not convicted of this crime. I think the money should be used to help find the real murderer. I don’t understand why he has to give those families anything at all. Don’t get me wrong I do feel sorry for their lost, however he is not the cause for their lost. At least that’s what the court system said!
OJ is NOT GUILTY!!!!!!! The state of California law system sucks!!!!!!! How can you be found not guilty of a crime and still have to pay $$$$ for the crime!!!!!! Now they are after Michael Vick. He hasn’t been found guilty yet…. and it is costing him a fortune$$$$$$. This is the only countery that can get away with stuff like this.
all done in the “American Way”……………
TERE ARE BRIGHTER DAYZ AHEAD OF YOU TRUST HIM HE SAID…………….NOW LET IT GO AND AWAIT, FOR THE BEST IS YET TO COME…….
LEAVE OJ ALONE CAN THE BROTHER BE LEFT ALONE HE DID NOT KILL ANY ONE ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM
RON GOLDMAN NEED TO GET A DAMN LIFE AND LEAVE OJ ALONE
MA TELLS IT ALL. IF THIS HAD BEEN SOMEONE YOU LOVED WOULD YOU BE SO QUICK TO SAY LET IT GO. I DON’T THINK SO,BECAUSE IT HAPPEN TO MY SISTER AND I WILL NEVER FORGET OR LET GO.
people he did not do this leave the man be
I understand the argument of making your childs killer pay. But that is not what the Goldmans are doing they are trying to get paid. They got the advance OJ got from the book that was making him pay, but to go on tv a say how terrible putting this book out would be then putting it out yourself THATS GREED. The money he got wasn’t enough so someone told him he could get more if he released the book. All you Goldman supporters can not see you are being played. You are the ones he is counting on to buy the book DUMBIES. They are putting out a book penned by the man they feel killed thier son in hopes of profit, they might as well thank thier sons’ killer for helping them out money wise.
O.J. is a great football player and human being who is being persecuted by the MAN!
i think that o.j might have done it then i think that he didnt but nobody knows if he really did it r not y…. u werent there so u really shouldnt judge him only GOD can judge him.
if he did do it then thats on him but if he didnt i say leave it alone. if you was in his shoes how would you feel being judge for something u didnt do but also if u was in his shoes how would u handle the guilt of knowing that u know who,how,or what kill your wife and friend.
so i believe if he did it then he did so he should turn his-self in r if he know what happen r think he knows what happen then tell so everything wouldnt b all on him. but if he doesnt know what happen then i say just leave it alone because you wasnt there so you cant judge anything.
SO REMEMBER GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN JUDGE.

I look at it like this, OJ is crazy for writing the book anyway. I don’t care if he was found innocent, he killed those people. You can check history, where he used to beat his wife.I agree with Ebony, we as black people supported him because he is black. Out of all the family involved, what about the kids reading the book of how their dad would have killed their mother. Mr. Goldman is a hungry money old man.No one is thinking about the kids in this situation.
i think that this situation has already been dealt with and its time to face the facts o.j. didnt do it and black or white had nothing to do with it. you can say put yourself in the goldmans position and put yourself in o.j.’s position. yes the family’s out for money i hope to pay off the funeral expenses. but what good is the money compared to a family member. the father can say he was sweet boy but why is he putting a price tag on him.$$? o.j. has to walk around with a crime on his record stating his suspicion in the murderers he was found not guity of. so with all of that break down of character mentally he’s going to breack down and start thinking the way that the goldmans would want himto think because he was a the star suspect and they deeply want to find the killer. so with all the spotlight that o.j. is getting the family is too blind to see that o.j. was found not guilty and they need to find closuer else where. instead of breaking him down as a human because its not going to bring your kid back. the court “said” they found incriminating evidence aganist right? but like johnny cochran said,” if the glove dont fit, you must aquit.”
because you know if o.j was found guilty what would the goldman family say ” justice was served”
not the fact that he was found not guilty the o.j.’s family is saying “justice was served”.
so no one is telling people who lost loved ones by murder to forget about that person but to move on in there life with good memebers of that person and dewlling on the negative past can only make you worse. so to the goldman family move on and find the real killer this book must not even sell because of the sick and twisted thoughts of a real event.
I think O.J. needs to consider not just himself, but his kids. If he didn’t do it, DON’T taunt the family of the ones murdered.
I do believe the Goldmans are out for money, but it doesn’t give OJ the right to “taunt” them about their murdered family members. “IF I DID IT”, apparently, OJ can’t leave it alone either.
Don’t keep pouring salt on open wounds.
He was found NOT guilty at the first trial - go on. He is not locked up, he is able to enjoy his kids.
I totally agree. How long is the justice sytem going to allow this bogus form of extorion to go on. At this rate, the only thing OJ hasn’t sold is his soul. The book should not be allowed to be released and the courts have to do something to help this man get his financial life back because no matter what our opinion is of him, HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! Leave that man alone! God is the real judge and we all will be dealt with accordingly when the day comes.
Listen people! I suffered a lost back in December, my brother was killed by his girlfriend and she is still walking free TODAY!!! Am I angry?
Hecks Yeah!! But being a God-fearing man I forgave her but never (and probably won’t forget).
She will have a trial to where she can’t escape, and that is with GOD! The ULTIMATE JUDGE!!
In saying that the Goldmans need to let the man be and move on because all they are doing is rehearsing bad feelings, pain and hurt! Believe me it isn’t worth it in the end. Goldmans, just let it go and let God handle OJ! Don’t try to hurt him to make yourselves feel better because that won’t make you no better than him! Trust me weeping endures for one night but the Lord will bring you joy once you let it go! “LET GO AND LET GOD”! Let PEACE be INCREASED! GOD bless you!!!
hi i believe that the goldmans are not only money hungry but rather greedy .look at the state’s CAse /last time checked oj was found not guilty.but in civil court it’s not about innonce or guilt but money .now lets be real people the goldmans will never recoup 33 million from oj hell will freeze over bf that happens.i mean in the bible there is such a thing as forgiveness guilty or noty guilty but in this politically world we live in everybody wants to play god judge/jury.and i must say it’s a painful thing to loose a loved one .but like my deceased uncle used to say nephew we all gotta die one day we don’t know how or why but we all gotta die one day.
Well I could only say what in the Past stay in the Past,After 12 years he is still making those fake tears, please get over it. I am sorry he lost his son But It time for him to move on including white folk &black folk that think he guilty You all have your own life to live stay out of OJ please let hom live
It time for you to do you OJ Enjoy
My honnest opinion i think somebody in both families killed them, then framed O.J.
Everyone forgot that OJ has not paid the Goldmen family a dime on the civil suit. They realized that while he has no money he cant pay them. So they are doing all they can to get the money including get the book detailing how they relative and the simpson chick was murder. They are not greving they are very greedy. I can see if they trying to get money to pay for casket or funeral expenses but this is long gone and these people are looking for for Rodeo drive money. I am starting to feel bad for OJ (brothers stop dating white women )(learn)
OJ DID NOT KILL ANYBODY SO GET OVER IT YOU WANT MONEY AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE AND SO DOES THE BROWNS OJ I WISH YOU HAD NEVER LEFT YOU FIRST WIFE AND STARTING TAKING CARE OF THE BROWNS IN THE FIRST PLACE OH WELL YOU ARE FREE OJ AND THANK GOD FOR THAT
Ever since this house n***a got banished from whiteyville he has been takeing it with no grease. He made this bed and tucked himself in. While others seized the moment to use their celebrity to improve our social status he ran away in order to preserve his image. F… forget him! It’s mighty cold out there alone.
Didn’t OJ get the advance already and spent it? This book is so over I would be surprised if anybody buys it. Fred Goldman needs to get on with his life. Personally I do think OJ killed those two people and got away with murder. But it seems Fred Goldman has put himself in his own jail and hell by holding on to the past. I can’t imagine he can have any kind of happiness in life if he spends his entire existence trying to make OJ pay. While Fred spends his time in court after court OJ seems to spend his time on a different court, tennis, basketball, the golf course, getting lap dances from skanky women, vacationing in the Bahamas and the like.
His pension from the NFL cant be touched and it is over $25,000 a month and counting. So if he never gets another penny he will still be financially stable. The New York Post said Fred Goldman even got an injuction to have an SUV OJ brought with some on the advance money and what did OJ do? He had the vehicle destroyed, let the insurance lapse and then report it stolen.
So Fred needs to find some other way to channel his energy. Perhaps work for some domestic violence group and give them the publicity they need. Because if he keeps it up he will be the next one they bury because of the stress and hatred that will destroy him.
So, that explains why the book has been circulating through emails. Fewer sale$ for the Gp;dmans.
How is everyone doing?
I feel that the only reason the Gold Diggering Goldman’s are getting what they want is a jury of O.J.’s Peer’s found him not guilty. If he was white it will be over. Hell No! They should not have received the rights to O.J.’s book. He wrote it. “They are going to get OVER PAID!” A Friend of mine’s brother was killed by the police and the family was award $85 million by the jury and the judge over ruled the Judgement. And awarded the family $5 million. Plus it took over six years to receive the judgment. Is a white life worth more than a black life? Do you see the difference? It is as plan as “BLACK & WHITE!” PS HE HAD NO LEGS! “NONE!” The Goldman’s are not grieving! As a matter of fact they probably wasn’t even that close to their son! Did anyone every think about that? “THA GOLDMAN’S ARE NOT GRIEVING, THEY ARE GREEEEEDING!!!” PLUS THEY ARE THE GOLDMAN’S FOUNDATION! ps I think O.J.’s friend did it! His motive is that he was always in O.J.’s shadow. Same built same walk, glove size different. Think about that? O.J. took his girl and his spot on the field. Sounds like A life time story to me. Remember I said so, Ryan E. Strickland!
Thank you,
Stay Strong O.J.
Peace,
Ryan E. Strickland
i agree with you this is about money nothing else why would you keep bring things up that remind you how your son died. when are they going to let it go and why is the brown’s only getting 10 percent and not half they lost a daughter so clearly they only think about themselves. i said that from day one. don’t publish that book keep his name alive in other ways.
Well I feel with publishing the book all you are doing is giving O.J. what he wants and that is for people to talk about him. He dwells on the attention. And as far as the Goldman’s not thinking about O.J. kids reading this book, Why should they when their own father didn’t. He knew that book could do more harm then good to his kids but did her care no, its all about that mighty dollar with O.J. and bump whoever gets in his way.
Just let’em have it O.j…get the money you owe them on out the way….ps..O.J did that sh*t.
I think that it is a shame that they are taking every dime that man makes because he was found innocent and the judicial system is all jacked-up anyway. He may have committed those murders true or not, but where did things go wrong in this world that its plenty of murders right outside your door now that got away with there crime too. Leave that man alone and move on with your life.
No one really knows who killed OJ’s ex. Greed is the root of all evil. When a man such as OJ has money, others are always seeking a handout!
The only folk in this mess that didn’t make a dime are OJ, Ron and Nicole.
Everyone else has made out like bandits from the judge to the lawyers (minus Johnnie Cochran and F. Lee Bailey who already had monies), especially the prosecutors and the family members. No one had ever heard of Marcia Clark, Christopher Darden or Judge Ito or Mark Furman for that matter.
In the first place, when he was found not guilty by a court of law, the whole matter should have went the wayside. They should not have been able to sue him in civil court. I mean enough already.
Because that trial made instant celebrities of all involved, so-called high profiled cases have become the norm (i.e. Duke *$~$ Case).
What should happen is that since the convicted can’t profit off their crimes, how about no one can profit off of crime? I bet we’d see how much “love” for their loved ones there would be in the world then if ALL proceeds went to charity. Just think of how that $635,000 could benefit a battered woman’s shelter.
The Goldmans family is greedy it’s not about their son,it’s all about bringing down a black man that married his daughter.And he’s mad about that now that she is gone and the truth come out that she was a whoe,he feel as though someone has to pay for her death.Don’t you remeber that she screwed around on o.j. several times she was caught by him,no matter how much money you get out of someone you will never change the idea she was a whoe.
well you would have to ask yourself if i was in a position where i felt with all my heart and soul after this many years that this is the man who murdered my baby and the system let him walk in what way could i have a type of vengance?if i can’t imprison him then let me take away the next best thing.it’s wrong because vengance is the Lord’s but i’m trying to view this from their perspective.
