Overview
- This week Joseph Perrulli published The Forgotten Briefcase and spoke to outlets about finding a decades-old briefcase of letters and photos that led him to tell the story of his 1992 relationship with Nicole Brown Simpson.
- Perrulli says Nicole told him O.J. Simpson beat her so badly she blacked out and thought she would die, and he recounts specific episodes of what he describes as O.J. lurking near her home.
- Perrulli says Kris Jenner introduced them and that Caitlyn Jenner warned him Nicole’s only problem was O.J., details he says informed his decision to end the romance because he could not live with constant fear of Simpson’s presence.
- He says he avoided taking part in the 1995 criminal trial and downplayed the relationship to prosecutors, and he told reporters he immediately suspected O.J. after the June 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
- The accounts are first-person recollections reported in a new book and interviews and do not represent new legal findings; reporting situates them against O.J. Simpson’s known legal history, including a 1997 civil finding of liability, a 2008 criminal conviction, and his 2024 death.
