Harvey Levin's Never Before Told Story About O.J. Simpson | TMZ Live
/ tmzlive - Розваги
The system failed Nicole.
And Ron!
She failed herself.🤷🏽♂️ She asked for no prosecution in '89. She wrote a letter a year before her murder, begging OJ to comeback and be a family again, after years of him abusing her. She wrote letters to him before her death, detailing the times he hit her, or demeaned her publicly or privately, including little weight gain after pregnancy. And about his alleged cheating. Then why the heck she wanted him back again? She already got herself a property and alimony. ___ It's hard to help her when she couldn't help herself.
@@hus390that means she was supposed to die? No the system indeed failed her. While civilians are doing whatever they’re doing…the court system is supposed to hold people accountable. In my head I can guess what your a/s/l is.
@@hus390you are stupid mate..she was abused physically and mentally,controlled by a rich powerful celebrity..she obviously felt powerless and beaten down and You say she did it to herself!!?..your Not very smart and should be Ashamed of yourself blaming a weaker victim who died that way
Yes they did .. sad
This is the most humane commentary I've ever heard from tmz and it is good to hear the care, humanity, and honesty. Grateful you posted it. You have a powerful platform, use it to do more from the heart in the future. You have the power to contribute and make a difference
This video is refreshing and I'm sure not easy to do and say
Thank you
Huh??
So TMZ CAN be serious. Thought I saw a pig fly.
lmao of your comment
+AgentOrange859 just the media re-hyping an old story
DAMN I THOUGHT I SAW IT TOO
Pigs do fly. Cops got helicopters.
Actually, every time Nicole called the police during a domestic abuse situation the police would show up and then shoot the breeze with oj - even if he thrashed her car…not to mention HER. Poor girl never stood a chance against his popularity. Men and their “balls” I tell ya.
Funny that the same cops who let him off the hook for beating her, were the ones planting evidence for the murder. Seems odd yes?? Maybe a little guilt there??
@baalbezub6848 and what's really impressive, is while the cops are "planting" all this evidence, they have no idea if OJ is even in the country. Which would immediately expose the planting, and they'd all lose their jobs and be prosecuted. Sounds reasonable
I wish Harvey would write a book about his experiences in the industry
agree! I'm sure he's seen ALOT in and around Los Angeles
+shayww You must be his alcoholic mother
He probably won't, because he got a lot of dirt on him.
+shayww Seriously?....TMZ is just the linear line of The National Enquirer. This guy is a hack and his staff are fucking modern day ambulance chasers with the freedom of speech flag blanketing themselves. Paparazzi with a press badge. But, that's just my opinion and i'm sure The Church of You tuber parishioners will crucify my ass.....bring it on.....rolls off my feathers!
+The Stuport I agree with you for the most part, but then what's the difference between Harvey and what someone like Dominick Dunne did for Vanity Fair? Or Rona Barrett back in the day? Maybe their publications are a little more prestigious but they can still tell a good story.
He abused her for years and she finally divorced him, as he continued to stalk and eventually brutally take her life and Ron’s another horrific detail about OJ killing his ex-wife and Ron Goldman when the police called him to let him know what happened he didn’t even say where’s my children. What about my children? He didn’t give a rats ass about his children or their well-being because he knew he just murdered their mother. If the neighbor hadn’t found their deceased bodies, those children would’ve woken up to that horrific scene.
I waited over 4 minutes for this story to seem interesting.
That guy talks too much and he is a clown.
Was it? I'm about a minute in?
ALL OF US HERE AS WELL. WE HAVE HEARD THAT STORY BEFORE AND THOUGHT HE HAD SOMETHING "NEW" TO SAY. 😎.
A real man never lays a hand on a woman.
***** Wtf? are u implying that she cheated throughout her marriage to OJ? If so, what justification is this?
+Alreem Kamal it doesn't matter what she did or didn't do! A real man NEVER lays a hand on a woman, under NO CIRCUMSTANCE! There is something called divorce, he files for it, he doesnt beat the crap out of the poor thing!
Lela Loreana Chehade i know.. ur comment should be directed towards lyobo
Sorry! I thought I was replying to her/his comment
+Alreem Kamal And a real woman never lays hands on a man so it goes both ways both genders should keep their hands to themselves no bised
ummm....what was the purpose of telling the lawyer that you were bringing a media crew to the court house? Why wouldn't you just turn up and then start reporting
That's if you can even call these sleazeballs journalists.
In the book " If I did it " OJ downplays this incident .... He downplays a lot and shifts the blame on Nichole ... So sad ...
OJ is the most narcissistic person I've ever known. He killed them and got away with it.
It's all he's ever done, he was a spoiled sociopath..
could have gotten the the transcript from the court appearance after wards...and still broke the big story....why didn't he do that?
Harvey never divulge what you know to another lawyer. Didn't they teach you that in Law 101.
If you and your partner/spouse can't see eye-to-eye, don't try to control them by ANY means. Even if you're justified in your anger and in the right, do not resort to violence. Always leave , for good, if you ever feel that violence is the only way to make someone listen. And always do your research and really get to know who someone is and what they're really about in terms of their morals, politics, ideals, addictions, etc... And try to not let your ego determine who you end up with.
So............did you publish a report about it as soon as you were able?
Why wait so long to tell a story that can't be verified?
Another OJ story - will they ever end 😅
Harvey got bamboozled that time! Howard and I laughed a lot about him when we came back to have drinks at Rockingham that day.
Juice this you for real
@@keithjordan6319 sure it is! Cause u can't have fake names or accounts anymore 🤣
This poor woman R.I.P , she should of never stayed with him
And Rest in Peace,
Ron Goldman.
She liked rich guy and oj was.
so sickening..i feel sick hearing this. rip Nicole and Ron
Nothing is going to change in the O.J. case now, but speaking as a former trial lawyer of thirty years that case was lost because of some of the most flagrant and irresponsible ERRORS that a prosecution lawyer could have committed...AND THIS IS NOT " HINDSIGHT "...it is what many of us LAWYERS and other commentators said at the time of the trial.
I don't know if DARDEN decided to do this himself, although I have to believe it was approved by the whole team, but allowing the adversary to control a piece of evidence and allowing O.J. to try on the murder gloves without knowing in advance the outcome of the try-on violates two of the most fundamental and basic rules of trial management and of cross-examination.
This is besides the incomprehensible fact that they allowed O.J. to try on " shrunken " leather gloves, shrunken by having been drenched in blood and then dried, which would already have made them not fit the original hands, ON TOP of other plastic gloves !
NO GLOVE WOULD FIT IF OUT ON TOP OF ANOTHER GLOVE....and leather shrinks...something this jury was never explained
There was enough CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE in this case to convict twenty O.J.'s.
The victims blood on his socks, in his car, in his house etc., etc., etc., but they screwed up the explanation of what CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE means to the jury so badly that nobody could understand it and that this by itself created the " DOUBT " which the jurors thought they could base themselves on. They had to accept the Defense unfounded premise that the police were going around " SPRINKLING " the blood sample from O.J. all over the place and " planting " the evidence. They would have needed a GALLON of his blood for it to have been found in all the places it was found.
Then the prosecution did not rebut Cochran's theatrics of putting on a cap IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, standing next to the jury box and asking the jury if they " recognize " him...implying that O.J. would have been recognized even if had been wearing a cap...without reminding the jury that O.J. was wearing the cap at NIGHT in the DARK!
The L.A. jury might have been tainted, stupid, naive or racially biased but the prosecution messed this up so badly that the jury would have been justified in coming to their decision in any case.
This same evidence was enough in the CIVIL CASE because those lawyers did not screw it up
+Leon Maliniak- You are absolutely correct! I just don't know why those jurors couldn't see the truth then. (except for the fact that one of "their own" slaughtered a Blond White woman & her White Jewish friend) Racism most DEFINITELY played a huge part in the verdict.OR-they were just TOO damned stupid to understand DNA evidence, as well as ALL the evidence that smacked them upside their stupid heads! That entire trial was a sad joke!
I find it funny that the jury actually took notice of the glove not fitting. If i was in the jury i would not think much about that glove. It was obvious OJ would try to not make it fit.. + you have a latex glove underneath. And the glove would of course be stiff and distorted. Stupid mistake by Darden, Marcia was against it all a long. But its incredible stupid of the jury to put any weight to it, but then again... the jury acquitted a double murderer, and the responsibility is all on them. I saw the whole trial, and there was no reasonable doubt at all! Knowing what we know today about DNA the guilt is undeniable.
Leon Maliniak ... your right .... him looking at a white woman would have gotten him killed back in the day... I'm glad he had money for a good lawyer. Nicole was a drug addict..... her children heard her arguing with some one right before she and mr I'm going to return your sunglasses man .... maybe she was fighting with the drug dealer she owed money to ... we'll never no ... she wanted that life and got it !
whatwhat3432523 you probably wouldn’t got seated on that jury. Just reading your thoughts I wouldn’t want you on a jury.
the case was lost because a racist jury was never going to convict based on skin color regardless of evidence and regardless of who was prosecuting. They admitted it was payback for Rodney King.
Just found these and binge watching them 😂🤣
Interesting story. I wasn't even aware that Simpson had a history of violence against his wife until the murders happened.
If only... That really is heartbreaking... She was screwed over in life and in death
Wait TMZ Harvey has a story hes never told????!!! Never told or did he mean never SOLD??!! Either way then we all just witnessed a fucking miracle take place!!😀
the "justice" system failed Nicole Brown time and time again, and most noteably at the end of her life. Sad.
Story does not ring true - it would be practically impossible to get a hearing "moved up" unilaterally - the other side would have to be notified of the re-scheduling and consent to it, and that's assuming that the court would be willing/able to re-schedule it. Weitzman does/did not control the court's busy schedule. Again, story sounds like BS.
I wonder if the bad publicity would have made a difference for OJ then. Would it have saved Nicole and Ron's lives?
Did Nicole stay with Simpson after the severe beating?
Photos show she was severely beaten but he wont put the photos up I wonder why?
OOH more storytime! *excited*
From the guy who hosts TMZ? LOL.
The juice is history 😊
.......toast !!
If the beatings and photos were so severe, then wouldn't the Judge look bad for letting it go? But with no press there to cover it, I guess it just got buried. Sad and pathetic.
Enjoy the pictures mr Levin.
OJ is actually a pretty fun guy, when of course, he's not murdering you.
In other words; better broadcaster than lawyer. Arguably.
Hi Harvey, please answer my burning questions: What happened to the Louis Vutton bag Robert Kardashsian was said to had with items of the murder or was that speculation?
I just read...Kim Kardashian knew about the bag and it was with her Dads belongings. She gotvthe never to open it one day and found nothing out of the ordinary...clothes, toiletries ???
But.....in watching old trial footage, the LV bag was presented..with nothing !!
Get to the fucking point. Not used to TMZ talking in grown up talk.
Wow, and as we know the situation escalated
Imagine how defenceless Nicole felt after that farce... somebody should ask the judge for a comment
OJ had his Akita dog well-trained, because the dog refused to testify :)
I just don't understand why Harvey would call OJ's lawyer and tell him anything.
+Lord Dragon Maybe the same reason Shapiro was ostracised by his community before giving retribution for taking the case. And Darden thinks he had it rough.
To give him an opportunity to pay him money to kill the story.
The system really failed Nicole and Ron big-time. OJ should've got serious jail time for that brutal beating of Nicole from the get-go. Then maybe by being known for what he really is and losing a couple of his cushy sportscaster/pitchman gigs, he might've stood down. Tragic.
Nicole literally called OJ’s boss at Hertz & lied to him saying those charges were false… just so OJ could stay on and make more money😂 she’s just at fault for that (due to being money hungry)
@@Sebastian-km9qx well she was being controlled by oj and was threatened by him and he apparently used their kids against her
@@nl887 nah I’m sure he did it willingly lol. More money OJ gets = more money Nicole got
Clearly OJ was a brutal husband/ boyfriend but I believe the media and prosecutors made him look so much worse then he actually was. After 89’ he didn’t hit her once (until he killed her😂) but yeah Nicole was just as guilty imo. She was fucking a bunch of OJ’s friends & did everything she possibly could to hurt him mentally & emotionally. You play with fire you gonna get burnt 🔥 obviously she didn’t deserve to die but it is what it is. I don’t feel for her. OJ really did give her everything & paid for everything but he did cheat on her constantly & was no good. They were toxic as fuck together that’s a no brainer
@@Sebastian-km9qx you dont know that he didnt hit after 89. Comparing a woman who was abused and murdered to a man who abused her and murdered her and claiming they are just as guilty is sick and disgusting. She had one rumored thing with marcus allen while oj abused her emotionally and physically and cheated on her and rubbed it in her face. Saying you dont feel for a woman who was abused and murdered is awful and disgusting you need to rethink your morals. You also need to educate yourself on how abuse works and how he used money as a way to control her
@@nl887 if you do enough research/ watch the right videos you can find great information about him never hitting her again after 89’. Eh I never said OJ was husband of the year😂 he was a piece of shit but Nicole fucked around on him with Marcus Allen for years on end. That’s what in the end got her killed
You can hear in those 911 calls that she was just looking for attention. Shes laughing under breathe.. There’s another one where OJ is just screaming at her & she calls the cops😂 if you watch/listen to the full video you can tell he wasn’t gonna touch her.. dude was just blowing off steam. Apparently something about drugs & hookers. Nicole even admitted to it😂
I always wondered about his first wife. Glad she got away!
Oh! So this is about you and HOWARD. Thank you.
Yo Harvey... How bout giving us the Reader's Digest version next time?
He sounds just like Vlad lol
Wow Harveyif you were not so quick run tell dat, you may have saved 3 lives.
Agree.
Harvey likes to feed his ego
Goes to show how a seemingly just and judicial process can be perverted!
HARVEY SAYS " YOU ARE LOOKING AT STATS AND NOT HUMANITY " he should stick to the Court TV
show and not make a ass of himself
Just another beat up after the fact. Still trying to jump on gravy train
hello Harvey don't put a lot of pressure on yourself what was going to happen was going to happen anyway with you or without you it was in Gods hands you see what happened what's done in the dark come to the light
That was in the top 5 stupidest statements ive seen on youtube!!
I believe oj in the TV interview for "if I did it" he was stalking her. He came over lurking around. Goldman showed up he got into argument nicole came out and said get the f out of my house. Then oj snapped. Oj told a friend that if nicole hadn't come out with a knife she'd still be alive. That part I don't know. But I do believe she told him to get out. She had be become bold after she ended it for good with him after mother's day. Oj terms it she was acting crazy those last 2 weeks.
plain and simple: If that domestic case judge or OJ 's attorney had not been so corrupt Nicole would be alive or just maybe if this tv reporter would not had called OJ's attorney and nively allerted him of the media at the hearing.
Yeah Harvey, if only.. !!
Wow. Sounds like he's almost blaming himself.
Look how many men allowed the abuse to continue on and on. OMG
You didn't get fooled...
She did.
The real lesson: Justice isn't always just.
She chose not press charges and go full in on OJ. In fact a year before her murder, she wrote a letter to him begging him to return. 🤦🏽♂️ Prior to that, she wrote many times in letters and in her diaries how he hit her and demeaned her. It's hard to help people who are not willing to help themselves.
It’s obvious Harvey is depressed OJ got off & recently got out of jail.
Nicole brown lived a horrible life with oj and died a horrible death. And nothing was ever done about it
Aren't court dates public records ,couldn't he found out exactly that it will happen that day ? What's the point of this lengthy story ?
so why did you tell Howard Harvey? duh smh!
His elbows are very pointy
Night crawler is a movie based on him
That's not much in the way of either insight or illumination, Harvey.
Would you be kind enough to clarify something for me?
Were you the guy I remember seeing standing behind a Bronco holding up a fold-able shovel and saying "it's believed this was the murder weapon" - ?
+Allan Sorensen Yeah, that was him. ua-cam.com/video/QkuTrjawxIA/v-deo.html
Had he been there, Weitzman woulda shut him down some how, he’s gotta be twisting his story a little bit
Harvey Leavin the Truth out...
Too bad Nicole didn't call a press conference and play some hard ball. What kind of judge brushes such an assault under the rug ? And Mr. Levin lets himself off the hook for not following up & reporting on the story himself. He didn't get snookered. He bailed.
mezzaluna was mobbed up joint, this was a hit
Yeah and here she's trying to get back together with him in January of 1994 after being beaten so bad
That was brought out in the trial that he was abusive to her.
his older son did it. go back and research all the evidence
saw OJ and Nicole ( the two kids and the Browns ) at a store I worked in in Laguna Hills. I thought Nicole was the babysitter until I was told by a co-worker she was the mom. Months later I read on The OC Register they had a new year's eve party. He was overheard " I'm gonna kill you ". Two years later she was dead .
truth will come out
Run of the mill domestic violence case,except for Rich People being involved,and the Death of Ron Goldman.Maybe Nichole would have been the only victim,in which case OJ wouldn't be in jail now.Don't do the woulda/coulda/shoulda thing.He told her what he was going to do,and he did it.
So true.
I know some people who knew OJ at USC and in Buffalo. In both cases, long before Nicole’s death, they portrayed a violent bully, even to the extent of pulling a knife in the Trojan locker room. Prior bad acts were never pursued by the prosecution. Marcia Clark blew this case.
He says “and” as much as a white girl says “like”
Why hasn’t Marguerite ever stepped forward about abuse she suffered by OJ?
Jury : "Not Guilty" ....Case Closed 🎉
I'm like waiting thinking this guy was going to say something. He talking about Howard who's that, &who cares.
Harvey, cut it out! Your ego is TOO much!
Hi i watch tmz all the time great staff.. As for for the o.j story iam with u n many more that know he got away with beating his wife in to he killed her!ur 100%right it was not a simple new years day fight!i've been in an abuse marriage n its Very serious ..I'm glad n thank God i got the strength to ask 4help n got out !keep up the great work you n ur team are doing.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda...you're late Harvey. You ALL protected him, even today domestic violence victims concerns get dismissed by police and judges. They looked at Nicole as deserving of a beating because she married this black man.
Why inform OJ's attorney that you know his client is a batterer to begin with?
Oj was best sideline reporter
Why would oj kill his wife with the door open
This is in a book...
You know I remember the day the exact day when OJ was in the back of that SUV going down the interstate his friend driving that SUV I knew then that he was guilty.
Only because he ran from the scene, he ran
when you run like that, usually you’re freaking guilty..
Just because you’re scared that there’re is a possibility you’re going to be accused of something that you did not do. You should always turn yourself in
Oj was guilty and the whole trial I watched it and there were things that were not said, that just didn’t add up
You could just tell
people were holding back. Evidence
Totally mess up.
You know when the verdict came and when Oj was found, not guilty , he had that smile on his face, that guilty smile, of getting away with murder.
So freaking sad
I watch TMZ every day twice a day and your show is the only show that the truth will always come, no BS…
Thank you, Harvey for coming forward. You’re a good guy
Rock on baby I love the both of you guys. You’re really good with your interviews. I love you both like crazy.
You guys Rock 🤘♥️
Harvey, could you not have ordered a transcript of the Hearing?
The system failed Nicole
Nah.
I think OJ has that CTE disease‼️ He's a real Jekyl/Hyde character (and has been for years)
What about self defense?
Hurry up with the story already
One word from me,all he says is bullshit.Way to go TMZ.
+Pete Smith I believe you. There was absolutely nothing stopping him as a journo from reporting
Has TMZ posted the clip where Levin talks about a cop bar where local cops (during 1990s) would go and celebrate Hitler's birthday?
Then why did you not show nicoles horrific pictures from that case to the media? Perhaps then the publics reaction from those pics could have warned us from what was forthcoming. True,you missed the hearing ,yet you were well aware of the pictorial proof of the abuse by your own admission.
OJ started abusing Nicole from the first date! She chose poorly.
That's real interesting hearing that. Were you ever convinced that you were just trying to make a story our of it? I mean, nowadays it looks like everyone's trying to imitate the profession but it being the complete opposite. I imitate it, but try and make a story outta anything. Who trys to convince the internet?
sounds like a good idea for a show. if Harvey could have go back in time, and just shown up at the court, would that have eventually saved Nicole and Ron.... BTW.. nobody ever talks about if OJ was going there just to kill Nicole, and Ron was just in the wrong place at the wrong time? If that was the case and OJ had to quickly make a "mental switch" to also kill Ron, that is really telling! I mean hired CIA killers may have aborted a mission because of that unexpected extra person, for fear of the murder not going as planned. But that was never even discussed, to my knowledge? There are so many unanswered questions in that trial!
+Bam Bam (BamBam123) its common sense that Ron was in the wrong place at wrong time -
We all know! We all know!😢
