  The red flags weren&apos;t missed, they were ignored because he was talented, famous, and rich. Respect The Dead did a 2 episode deep dive on him, the murders, the trial, and the aftermath. <br><br>Nicole reached out to people. She had evidence, she took photos, she documented injuries, and at least once she told people that OJ was going to kill her. He systematically dismantled her support systems, isolated her, wrecked her self-esteem, and when he was finally sure that he was going to lose control of her, he murdered her.

  This guy’s narcissism is through the roof.. I remember being in middle school when his trial started and having a school survey on whether he’d be found guilty or not guilty.. I was the only black kid who voted guilty and was called a “sellout” for selecting guilty.

  I was not expecting OJ&apos;s real name, &quot;Ornamental Jim Smithsonian&quot;, to be dropped 😂

  “What did you do that made him so mad?” <br>I stood there with a chipped tooth and a black eye and had to defend myself. &nbsp;This was normal for an abused woman in the 1970s. I’m so lucky I got out alive. And I’m so grateful that my generation went on to change laws. Before that, women really didn’t have the right to be safe. My heart breaks for for the victims.

  Dustin, as a DV survivor I sincerely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating a platform speaking out against domestic violence IN A MAN’S VOICE. DV survivors have long been advocating for their own and their sister’s right to live safe and in peace. I feel strongly, however, that having REAL MEN stand up and call out abusive males that the world will happily just push the potentially lethal effects of domestic violence into the shadows. I have SO much respect for what you do here!💜💜💜💜

  People knew. I personally saw Nicole with a black eye. People in Hollywood absolutely knew, this was no secret.

  I know everyone likes to focus on the insanity that was the trial, but this part of the story is always so forgotten. Nicole lived terrified for years of this man and she got no justice for what happened to her. &nbsp;<br><br>She never got to see her children grow up and never broke free from this man&apos;s abuse which is a true tragedy in all of this.<br><br>The fact he murdered her when their children were sleeping upstairs is so understated, truly evil.<br><br>And poor Ron as well, treated as a footnote in his own murder. All he did was to do a favor for a friend and ended up getting murdered for it.<br><br>Thank you for bringing attention to this part of the story which most people sadly glosses over

  Somehow I imagine someone passing by as you’re running around with the flag and going “well that’s as sure a sign as any” before turning around from whatever they were on their way to and going home.

  Thank you for demonstrating how a person can PRETEND his own gloves don&apos;t fit. That part of the trial was so frustrating because so many people believed those couldn&apos;t be his gloves.

  I think the financial control is also a large factor of why Nicole stayed. Nicole was a teenager when she met OJ, and within weeks her demanded that she leave the apartment she was sharing with a friend to move into an apartment he paid for. She never got to be independent and come into herself as an adult. It&apos;s part of what makes her death so tragic, too. Right when Nicole was finally breaking away from Simpson, he took her life.

  As a black woman and I was born in 1985 so thank you for bringing to light how long this tragedy has lasted and she got no justice. I had a strong suspicion that he did kill her and what sold me is when he wrote a book about how he would have done it if he did it.

  A gross misuse of power. That poor woman cried for help and NOT A SINGLE PERSON CARED NOR BELIEVED HER.
