O.J. Simpson’s kids don’t want him around, new book claims

THE disgraced sportsman wants to see his children when he gets out of prison in October, but they don’t want him around, a new book will reveal.

O.J. Simpson Is Granted Parole

O.J. SIMPSON is said to be looking forward to spending lots of time with his children when he gets out of a Nevada prison in October, but they don’t want him around, a new book will reveal.

Simpson gets along well with his eldest daughter Arnelle, 48, according to Tom Scotto, O.J.’s friend and spokesman.

But Scotto, who is writing a book, Killing Time, with Journaling Fame author Allison Kugel, claims O.J. is estranged from his other three children, Jason, 47, Sydney, 31, and Justin, 29.

Scotto declined to speak with me, but his publicist told me: “O.J.’s kids don’t want him close to them. Only Arnelle will talk to him.”

Simpson’s lawyer Malcolm LaVergne denied that and said, “They are in constant communication.” LaVergne added, “There is only one person authorised to speak for Mr. Simpson, and that is me.”

Chapter 19, titled “A Night of Murder,” will reveal for the first time the true story of what happened that night in 1994, from O.J.’s lips. The story is said to be different than any version previously told.

Scotto plans to donate his profits from the book to the family of Ronald Goldman, who died with Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994.
