It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what’s the point?”

Prody also says she believes O.J. killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994. "It took me many years to realize and face that hard, terrible truth. Things he's mentioned about Nicole, how she had it coming because of her lifestyle and who she hung out with, mainly Ron Goldman, I guess."
