OJ is a truly disturbed individual. The fact that he makes jokes about Nicole’s passing when his own kids have to spend the rest of their lives without their mom is sick. Also apparently he was saying really disgusting sexual stuff about Kim Kardashian while he was serving time in prison for a robbery and kidnapping conviction in 2008 and he’s her godfather. I wish Nicole’s family got the justice they deserve but at least Ron’s family were awarded something.
"She felt they would side with him." Yep. Mine did. They always sided with him, even when he told them to their face he had abused me for years. People are jerks. I feel so bad for her.
I was in the same situation several years ago in high school with an ex-boyfriend and that is exactly what everybody did to me too. I’m so sorry, I know that when I think about my past hurt most times it still hurts to think about, but I’m hoping that you’ve been able to grow from your experiences and I’m hoping they’ve helped make you a better person too. My children and my husband help me get through each day and I’m hoping you have the same! Sending love, God bless love ✌️❤️💯
Yeah, I wish America’s justice system was better and as is I’d never trust a jury of my peers. When the abuse is happening in your community all of a sudden logic goes out the door, and it’s way more comfortable to believe the abuser is innocent.
I was in law school at the time of the trial, and your analysis of reasonable doubt and the doubts cast by the very real spectre of racial bias and law enforcement is right on point. I like the fact that you can look at it as someone who truly wasn’t there and didn’t know anything about OJ Simpson before doing your research.
Haven't started watching yet, I'll save the video for later, but I just wanted to say that I missed you, and hope you've been well. Just remember that any break you take, at least for me anyway, won't make me unsubscribe or stop watching.
Growing up it was always my understanding from my parents that we should be happy that OJ got off because it was the first time a black man got away with something. But like... Everybody knew he did it. That's all I ever knew. But I'm not going to lie I have never heard all the details of this case. This is sickening. As a victim of domestic violence this just made me so mad. OJ getting away with murder was not a win. Smh.
You're pretty young so there are elements of this story that you probably aren't aware of. One being that Nicole was not some innocent person as you portrayed her here. She was the person to see if you were coming to Hollywood back then and you wanted to buy cocaine. This was well known in those Hollywood circles back then. You're on the right track when you say someone else was there with OJ. It's doubtful that OJ actually did the killing but a good possibility that he was there when it happened and got out of there as soon as he could because he couldn't say anything or he would have been killed himself. I saw the actual crime scene back then when I was interning in news and I can tell you there wouldn't have been just some blood droplets here and there. He would have been covered in blood. He certainly wouldn't have been able to dispose of the clothing he had on within a span of a half hour and jump in a limo. There was money that Nicole owed to people in the criminal world. She was also having sex with Goldman and he had been seen in the car that OJ bought for Nicole before that. He wasn't just some random waiter dropping off some glasses. Yes OJ was an abusive male and they were obsessed with each other. He had control issues and really should have been arrested during all of those domestic violence calls. The media circus was also staged (think about it. If this was a spontaneous chase down a freeway, where did the people who were cheering for him get those signs from?) as this event is what lead to 24 hour news channels and reality TV. This step brought in an entirely new revenue stream. Court TV is basically what people watched back then if they wanted to see what went on with criminal cases. This all changed with the coverage of this case. It's why we have 24 hour news channels now. It's not a coincidence that its Robert Kardashian's kids who really cemented reality TV as a genre.
@@reespace Please consider making your own stand-alone post like this because SO many people either don't know, or conveniently forget, many of the aspects of the case you wrote here.
Exactly! Because it's not like OJ is an advocate for the black community. He's one of those "I don't see color" types. All he did before Nicole's murder & the trial was hang out with white people
Can I just say, what a smart dog! Barking nonstop for two hours to get someone’s attention because it knows something is wrong and then leading them to their bodies.
I think he was an akita dog. It seems like they form extremely strong bonds with their family too. I feel like he was a combo smart and also a devoted dog and they seem to understand loss. I think he understood Nicole was gone and was going through like severe anxiety . Apparently they're actually pretty aloof with strangers, so the fact that they followed strangers meant he was also like under severe stress.
I know it’s by no means whatsoever the same, thing but I got my youngest dog at 20 and 6 months later out of the blue I started having seizures and for 9 years now she has barked incessantly when I’m gonna have a seizure and continues to bark until help arrives, she’s done this for hours before multiple times, she never had any training whatsoever as I said, I was 20 when my seizures started and she was only 6 months old, but she recognised I was in need of help and barked from the very first time and still does to this day! Dogs are incredibly smart and loyal! I hope and pray Nicole’s dog found a good home after she was killed!
What really got me in this case was when some of the jurors admitted publicly they fought for a not guilty verdict due to previous police brutality cases against the black community (cases who were never served justice, mind you). These people were so angry they let a murderer go loose in order to stick it to the man, his actual guilt was of no concern to them. For a guy who didn't even care about his community. To say this case was very racially charged is an understatement.
I know it was DISGUSTING!!! Screw the white girl and her kids……yea let’s let a PSYCHOPATH go free to destroy more women and his kids!! 🤬🤬🤯 Just unbelievable…..
@@6Haunted-Days It wasn't about 'screw the white girl' it was about them stupidly trying to make up for all the historical lynchings of innocent black men who were wrongful accused of raping and murdering white women by letting an obviously guilty man go free, which also feels backhanded because if anything that dumb, unjust decision clearly made people like you more resentful towards black people. Let's not act like a black man can't still possibly get shot if a white woman screams in his vicinity, even if he's out birdwatching or some shit.
@@SobrietyandSolace 18, naive, fast, and blinded by that💰. she should have known if he cheated on his wife with her, then what did she expect of him? Yep, then she turns around and moves into the family home that he shared with his "Wife" and children, so she clearly thought she was a better fit for the Juice...and we all can see now that proved to be wrong. Keep yo legs closed to married men in my Nene voice!
I hope you get to read this comment. My class is covering Reagan's administration and I shared your two part series with them for commentary. They really enjoyed it. I completely understand taking a mental health break. I've decided to graduate with my master's in May because my PhD program is mentally too much. Take all the time you need and put your health first. I will do the same. I'm glad you're back!
Congratulations on your degree. Trust me the phd program is hell. I did both my masters and EdD at the same time because the school I was in did the grant in that matter. It was hell, I lost my son in the process but I graduated. 2yrs later I am now addressing it all. Take breaks and have a therapist because even though your going to school, you have a life outside of it. Best of luck
What REALLY happened here, in Northern California, when Regan was Governor. He closed down many of the insane asylums "effective immediately,"" and literally OVERNIGHT Market Street in SF became a psychiatric "out"patient facility on the streets of the Tenderloin. It was really sad, It was like "Night Of The Living Dead."
I'm a med student and i had to take a mental health brak, i transferred schools and I'm doing better than ever. I'm also going to therapy! Mental health is TOP!
I was in junior high when the trial was on. Our school kept it on all day in our lunchroom. When the verdict was announced, all the boys cheered. I was heartbroken 😔 that poor girl and her loved ones never got justice.
My mom was pretty close to Ron Goldman from elementary school all the way through high school. They signed every year book for each other. She said it was really weird after she found out what happened to him. The fact that he was just an innocent bystander, in the wrong place at the wrong time, is so sad. Obviously, the whole situation is sad, but he had absolutely nothing to do with it! It's just so awful 🥺
I never knew that Ron was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time. This should have been an open-and-shut case. The evidence was so clear. The gloves, the Bruno Magli shoe prints, Robert clearly hid and disposed of evidence, on camera, it’s all so disgusting.
Tbh I feel like OJ wasn’t physically there at the time of the murders. Like he was smirking when he tried on the gloves because he knew he wasn’t there to wear any gloves!! My professor made an analogy that of course the Lapd was corrupt so he got off , and they’re the ones that planted the glove.
Cydnee I’m so glad you’re back! I was just thinking about you and hoping that you were doing well. I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing better. Sending you so much love and praying that you continue to do better.❤️🙏🏻 It really is so insane that he never got in trouble with the murders he definitely did it and no one can tell me differently.
You are a Phenomenal, creative intelligent visual journalist. You became depressed because you suppressed what you have inside. We must let what is inside emerge and share it with the world because it's who we are and why we are here. I am a sketch artist and I stopped drawing for over 20 years, started back about 5 years my art has evolved and even better. Don't let anyone stop you from being you. PEACE!
Not to mention that the same gloves that was found was actually bought by Nicole as a gift to OJ and they had receipts of it. Just wasn’t allowed in the court room 🤷♀️ OJ had very good lawyers.
FunFact : After the death of Nichole, H-Town dedicated one of their albums "Ladies Edition" to her and under every track on the back of the album they put the domestic hotline number. I'm just curious if this wasn't a famous athlete would they even care ???
This case caused sooo much racial tension across the nation. It did turn into more of a racial case than a murder case. It was so obvious to so many people that he did it, and when the jury came back so quickly with a non guilty verdict jaws dropped all across the US. You had to be so careful what you said, tho. If you were white and disagreed with the verdict it was enough to start a fight. And God help you if you were black and disagreed! It was all so ridiculous, and two innocent people didn’t get justice because people were blinded by racial tensions instead of looking clearly at the facts. If he had been anyone else, he’d either be in for life or sitting on death row running through his appeals. Smdh…
This is true, I remember watching a documentary on this case and that this was after a few very public cases where black people were completely cheated by the justice system, and there were members of the jury who fought hard during liberation to come back with a not guilty verdict because of this. I know it's messed up, because he later committed more crimes and was not innocent, but I can understand why they retaliated like this. As a jury member for such a high-profile case you suddenly have the power to do something after seeing so much injustice against your race, but you were selected to make things "fair" and everyone is assuming he's gonna have a guilty verdict. I think I'd wanna fuck shit up too, it'd be hard not to
Wow! I didn’t know the race divide. This case was before my time. I feel like the non guilty verdict was done intentionally. Governments around the world do this all the time, especially around elections (most recently, George Floyd). I’m 23 and at first racial bias (I’m a black woman) made me angry about what happened. It still shouldn’t have happened, but when I took a step back to look at the police who placed bricks around busy areas to start riots and who were breaking public property, I saw exactly what was going on. George Floyd like Nicole Brown Simpson was the sacrificial lamb to divide the public. They’ve been doing this for years and still masses fall for it. If we, the people, joined forces, stood together and weren’t sheep to these corporations and agendas being pushed, we could change this evil world.
I remember I saw the documentary about Nicole & Ron's death..I sa×the blood their bodies...I WAS DISGUSTED 🤢🤢💔💔💔THEY ARE HUMANS! IDGAF ABOUT THEIR SKIN COLOR...THEY WERE MURDERED! IDC IF OJ IS SO CALLED BLACK...HE DID IT!!!!!!!!! HE WAS BEATING ON HER & VERY CONTROLLING..MEANWHILE.. HE WAS A CHEATER..
One interesting note about Robert Kardashian. At the time of the trial he had not practiced for 20 years, and he had never been a trial attorney in the first place....he focused on real estate law which is how he was able to invest in real estate properties to well. That was where his wealth came from. There was a picture of Oj Simpson with some sort of bag as he entered Robert Kardashian's home. The detectives believed it was evidence from the murder. Immediately after that Robert reinstated his license to practice law in California and was retained as one of the dream team even though he had zero qualifications. There is a legal loophole when it comes to client attorney privilege, and because of this Robert could not be called by the prosecution as a witness. If you watch the verdict you can see Robert hang his head in shame while everyone else jumped up to celebrate. He knew that he had just gotten a murderer off in order to save his own ass.
there is also a news coverage clip that shows Kardashian taking this same suitcase, walking pas reporters and police, to his car and leaving. It was not known to be important at the time and no one paid attention to it. The suitcase has never been seen again.
The Roc is a great analogy because that's exactly how everyone percieved O.J. Simpson. A great man and athlete. Super chill and friendly, just like Roc
“Why are people so weird… why are we like this “ That’s the question of this century baby girl! Lol Love to see you back doing these. Been watching you about 3 years now. Love your vibe 💕
I remember the day that they announced on the news that OJ was free. I couldn’t believe it I was baffled and so upset and heartbroken for Nicole’s family and Ron Goldman’s. OJ had beat her so many times, and was on cocaine as it was well known, and most of the tape recordings of 911 calls that I listened to, Nicole sounded terrified and you could hear him enraged in the background sounding like he was really sped up and deranged. To me in the end I felt that with all the proof they had of his abuse and drug use and that alone along with the scene of the crime how horrific of a crime of passion it was, I couldn’t believe they could doubt for one second that it wasn’t him. (I definitely think he was alone as well. ) I think possibly Kato knew more than he let on too, but was afraid of OJ. Thank you so much for doing this story you did a great job! At least justice was finally done in a different way when he decided to steal his own memorabilia from a hotel. And I think he’s in jail for something else now I can’t remember. Love your make up beautiful BTW!
woah. i am so grateful to be recommended a black woman doing true crime content?! i dont know how you havent shown up for me before, but it lowkey does really affect my self image when i search for true crime stuff and see tons of white creators. seeing another woc covering true crime (and ESPECIALLY this case) makes me soo happy! thank you for all the work you put in
One good thing that came from this tragedy is a new law passed that abused woman no longer had the burden to put their abuser in jail. Back in the 90's women were afraid to press charges because they knew what would happen when they got out of prison. I believe it was called the O.J. law. Because of the law, when a woman is abused by a man, the woman has no part of his imprisonment.
If you haven’t seen Oj vs the people , go watch! As a true crime junkie, this is one of the cases that I know the most info about, so I’m very excited to hear her cover this case!
@@DreMo521_ Don't go by feelings there was no evidence. there were countless black men jailed for 40yrs and 33yrs and today they coming free because of the same thing racism .
Good things to do for mental health: 1. Regular earlier bedtime 2. Daily exersize, walking 20 min after meals 3. Weekly counseling, never miss an appointment 4. Weekly or daily mass, weekly confession, church 5. Regular mealtimes, protein, veggies, fruit, carbs, try not to have boxed or canned food, eat fresh as much as possible, multivitamin 6. Build your support team, family, friends, priest/councelor/preacher, school counselor, etc 7. Join a church group, like Legion of Mary, etc 8. Volunteer for 1 or 2 hours a week, take the focus off you. 9. Focus on the positive, Jesus, build healthy relationships with yourself and others 10. School is always a good idea!
I love you! I appreciate your honesty about mental health I think it's important to get rid of the stigma. I suffered with depression and anxiety my whole life, I am 57. It's far more acceptable to talk about it now then in the 80's and I basically suffered alone. Part of managing my mental health is to be able to talk about it. I don't take meds now, but I did in the 90's when I fell into a life threatening depression. You survive depression, because the obsessive thoughts of not wanting to exist gets unbearable. Hope you find your best way to manage your mental health. My secret was to treat a depression spell like a cold, just let it run its course and know it will soon go away. Love your work, and will always be a subscriber.
Additional facts about the case: 1) There were pictures of OJ wearing those gloves even though they were too small, 2) At Nicole’s funeral, OJ creeped everyone out because he acted very happy - even flirted with a woman at the funeral (per Nicole’s sister), 3) For the funeral, Nicole’s sister, who looked just like her but with dark hair, dyed her hair blonde to haunt OJ (per Nicole’s sister), and 4) Two of OJ’s three lawyers ended up dying of cancer shortly after the trial. It was speculated they of course knew he was guilty, and holding onto that knowledge manifested into cancer.
@@weganmerner7014 it can create an illness because your immune system goes down. You body just stops fighting the bad stuff and it’s allowed to grow. So, maybe you have some iffy cells in your body that could become cancer, but do not always do … bamm… immune system down allows for dysfunction. It happens A LOT . AND I hope you never get to experience stress in that magnitude. Know it absolutely exists, proved by science ( check out ACES scores).
You are speaking nonsense. how having information about a case can cause cancer. Hilter and his helpers killed many and they never got cancer. you can't prove nothing said in your comments.the media controls the weakest minds.
I remember this case so well. It was all that was on tv. You couldn’t escape it. Great job covering the highlights!! One thing to note though. DNA testing was quite new and no one was familiar with it. So even though O.J. Had blood at the scene, no one understood that this was damming evidence. No one!! It was a tragic case to watch. In the end, Nicole never received justice and O.J. raised his kids in peace. Anyway, that’s how I remember it. I may be wrong.
You’re not wrong. It was all that was on TV until 4pm Monday - Friday. It was so obvious he was guilty and the fact that the stupid black glove fiasco is what set him free is atrocious. I was a tween at the time and even I knew what was going on.
Everyone knew it was O.J.’s DNA and believed in DNA. They had already convicted people for murders and rapes using DNA before the O.J. trial. The doubt was if it had somehow been contaminated (as if) or put there by the police (LOL) somehow.
@@TheBOG3 but the media and the whole “it doesn’t fit” BS made a total mockery of the entire trial, too. How’d the detective get his blood in order to place it at the scene? Like really? He broke in, took those boots and walked around, the crime scene too?? C’mon 😂
First of all I wanna say Welcome back. Got this during BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!! Always put yourself first. Glad your doing okay. 💜💜🙏🏽🤗🥰 I was in high school when this happened and remember till this day that the teachers didn't teach any lessons for a full week after the Verdict came thru.We we're glued to the TV in all classes. We were in total awe of the this. Honestly we had never seen anything like this before. Literally EVER. It brought so much tension with everyone where it made us a whole start looking at race as a whole. It brought up so many convos and debates in our high school until the point where they had to call the whole school into the gym to talk to us about race relations because of all the rioting/fighting amongst the teenage students. This was a time to live. Not sure if your reading this but can we do one on Rodney King.
OMG!!! I was sitting here doing my nails listening to videos when I look down and seen YOU POSTED A VIDEO!!!!!! I stopped the video I was listening to and here I am now!!! Girl take care of urself but just know that we all missed u so much and we r so very happy to see u back..... 😁
First: great to have you back hunny!!!! 🤦♀️ good Ol Ojay. I’m not ashamed to admit: I was like 12 when this happened and I only sided with him because he was black and it was like an unheard of a at the rule that time to be on his side….BUT as I got older…it became painfully clear he was crazy and more than likely the mastermind behind the deaths hand down. And got away with it. Litterally one of the only black men ever in history that got away Scott free and will never pay for it sigh. It is what it is. But we all know money talks people! No matter what color you are. If you have money and high up connections ; they can get away with everything. My opinion
Cydnee it’s so good to see and hear from you, I was just praying for you and hoping you were ok. I know how it is to have a Anxiety and mental health, last year I suffered a mental breakdown and realized it’s nothing embarrassing to take medication for it.
I’m so glad you’re back, I missed these but I understand that a lot goes in to making these and you have a life outside YT. Proud of you and love your makeup and history videos. You’re a good storyteller.
I'm so happy you took the time off to get help Mental health should always be a priority but I must also admit I'm happy to see your smiling happy face and to hear you covering these videos
I remember being in 6th grade and my teacher playing the verdict on the roll out tv. My fourth grade teacher walked in to listen. When they said not guilty she was so emotional and she yelled out a curse word and said He was guilty as sin and stormed out in tears. I must have watched enough of the news to know something about it but I clearly remember being surprised because I thought I just found out my fourth grade teacher was racist. The narrative in the media must have fallen along those lines because I know I sure didn't learn that from my parents.
It was a rough time. In the black community, we ( mistakenly rooted for his freedom) were blinded by the biases we we're all tired of seeing in law enforcement, judicial system, etc. I was a teenager and remember (all black school, a few white teachers) we watched the verdict and cheered and the not guilty verdict. Despite the circus of it all, the clear evidence, all of it. Looking back, and with all of his antics over the years, obviously wrong wrong wrong.... Embarrassing time.
I am so proud of you for looking after your mental health. Especially in the black community there's an insane stigma against having mental health issues. I hope you're doing better now and glad you are so brave to discuss it. It's been a busy week, so I'm just now able to watch, but I'm so glad to watch now
I feel you that is why I cut most of my social media, I try taking walks, I tried medicine and it didn’t work for me. Thank you for addressing mental illness. I am also struggling with depression and I stay off social media and do meditation in order to clear my head and try to make peace with the things that hurt me. Okay now we know why OJ was problematic. The fact that he was cheating on her with Paula barbiery, wasn’t good enough for him, he had to kill NIcole because of control and Ron just happen to be there at the wrong place becaming a victim as well. Towards Robert Kadashians life he regretted taking the case, he had stop talking to him after he got out. Something that was documented. Both families haven’t seen a dime to this day. I do believe Sydney saw something because for Sydney to act out when she got to live with him, I believe it’s the reason why she changed her name and moved to another state to get away from all this drama and from him.
i found u from snapchat (LOL) and thought u were super charming and a talented entertainer and i wanted more than the few eps i watched there and then u mentioned u had a youtube channel so i came here!! such a pleasant surprise to see u make rly long videos >>>> u have a great knack for storytelling and explaining things, everything was so clear and concise, and ur little quirks like adlibbing things random ppl across the story "mightve said" and then backtracking and legal disclaimer-ing was rly endearing and hilarious hahaha. u got urself a subscriber!!! on here and on snap LMFAO. keep up the great work and take care of urself and ur mental health :'))) hope ur doing well!!! will def check out ur other work :) also ur makeup slapssss ur super beautiful omg
OJ was probably guilty but it was more the prosecutor and the Los Angeles police departments fault that he was not found guilty then it was Johnny Cochran. Jay Z said it best “ i’m not black I’m OJ... OK” 😒 This pretty much sums up the Black communities feelings about OJ back then and currently. This was absolutely a case of racial bias and that doesn’t negate the fact that OJ is probably still very guilty. But this is absolutely a case of racial bias. OJ was a successful, rich, famous, uppity🚩, ego stricken🚩, narcissistic🚩, drug addict🚩Black man married to a White woman. On top of that remember that this was post the Rodney King incident and the LA riots. Racial tension was high and it wasn’t just black people who were hot mad under the collar about it a lot of white people and a lot of cops especially were participating in some racially problematic behaviors. I think OJ did it but I think that he either had Katie kill her or Kato saw him come back from killing her and he didn’t say anything because he thought that he could use to get money out of OJ later on. And then the civil trial happened and he realize he could be found equally as liable but that’s just my conspiracy theory and I can’t prove it. I feel like if the police had done a real investigation instead of just trying to connect all the dots back to OJ, they could’ve made him crack. His story doesn’t make any sense when you really look at it more than on a surface level. But what’s not talked about was how a lot of the evidence was contaminated, how the chain of evidence was interfered with on multiple pieces of evidence at multiple different times, and that police officer wasn’t just racist but he was also believed to have tampered with other cases. Even if OJ was guilty all of these little infractions would have led to anyone else being let off on this cakes and that is the prosecutor and the Los Angeles county police departments fault. It angers me that Nicole and Ron will never actually receive justice whether OJ did it or not because even if you go back and examine the evidence because it has been widely contaminated if there was another killer we will never know.( I don’t believe there was another killer, I think OJ did it in someway.) This case was absolutely about a lot of bias because they rushed to judge this case because OJ was black, because he was wealthy, because he was famous, and because they didn’t think they needed a strong case to convict in the county they were coming from. However, I think the scariest part is that after this court case OJ was sued civilly by Ron’s family. Where he was found guilty of being responsible for Ron’s death but there in lies the contradiction if he’s guilty I’ve been responsible for his death how did they not find him guilty for the murders. Because what I put forth is plausible but I can’t prove any of it. It feels more like they found him guilty in a civil lawsuit to exact some kind of punishment for murdering these two people as they believed he did but again if you can’t prove that to find him guilty civilly is highly questionable. I also don’t like that the ruling basically gave this white family ownership over this black man. And I know that’s not how it’s phrased but if you look at how much control they have over his name, legacy, finances, and then eventually his freedom because he didn’t pay, that very much comes off like slavery. OJ has done plenty to deserve jail but I feel like a lot of the actions taken against him or more so done on a ‘we couldn’t get you on this, so we’re going to get you on that’, which is it justice it’s revenge and retaliation and our justice system should never be working on those motivations. Another big issue I have with this case is all these people who claim to be Nicole‘s friends selling all of her information and personal stories for attention and money and Ron‘s family trying to rewrite his history. Nicole and Ron shouldn’t need to be perfect people in order to deserve justice and I have a huge problem with that mindset especially in America that you need to be an angel in order to be a victim.
You can sue someone civilly and they be found guilty or liable for a crime, in this case murder because in civil court you rely on the preponderance of the evidence not beyond a reasonable doubt. Also in civil trial only 51%of the jury has to agree that the accused is guilty based on the presented evidence. In a criminal trial, 100% of the jury has to agree that based on the presented evidence, the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So it is not surprising that OJ was found liable civilly but not criminally.
I heard a horrible quote once where OJ came to his neighborhood at one point, which was predominantly white, and there was a huge amount of African American supporters waiting for him! When OJ saw them, he asked "what are all these (you know whats) doing in Brentwood?" I don't think I hate actual serial killers as much as I hate that man. I would pay to punch him in the face.
My response to Cydnee: You're pretty young so there are elements of this story that you probably aren't aware of. One being that Nicole was not some innocent person as you portrayed her here. She was the person to see if you were coming to Hollywood back then and you wanted to buy cocaine. This was well known in those Hollywood circles back then. You're on the right track when you say someone else was there with OJ. It's doubtful that OJ actually did the killing but a good possibility that he was there when it happened and got out of there as soon as he could because he couldn't say anything or he would have been killed himself. I saw the actual crime scene back then when I was interning in news and I can tell you there wouldn't have been just some blood droplets here and there. He would have been covered in blood. He certainly wouldn't have been able to dispose of the clothing he had on within a span of a half hour and jump in a limo. There was money that Nicole owed to people in the criminal world. She was also having sex with Goldman and he had been seen in the car that OJ bought for Nicole before that. He wasn't just some random waiter dropping off some glasses. Yes OJ was an abusive male and they were obsessed with each other. He had control issues and really should have been arrested during all of those domestic violence calls. The media circus was also staged (think about it. If this was a spontaneous chase down a freeway, where did the people who were cheering for him get those signs from?) as this event is what lead to 24 hour news channels and reality TV. This step brought in an entirely new revenue stream. Court TV is basically what people watched back then if they wanted to see what went on with criminal cases. This all changed with the coverage of this case. It's why we have 24 hour news channels now. It's not a coincidence that its Robert Kardashian's kids who really cemented reality TV as a genre. Your delivery was funny and entertaining and reminded me of a Drunk History episode. Nice makeup job too. There's always more to what went on though, than the official story.
I love your vids, I'll come back whenever you're feeling up to making one. I also use cerebral and I'm so very happy with it. My cerebral provider has been the best provider I've had in years. She doesn't tell me that my symptoms aren't part of my diagnosis because the DSM doesn't have them listed. She actually knows about my disorder and how to properly help me. Great summary of this story. I was about 13 when this all happened, and I remember even then we thought he did it. I'll never be convinced otherwise. He did it. He killed them. He's no better than Chris Watts, he took his childrens mother from them. ALLEGEDLY
Great to see you back. Then there's Jason, OJ's son. Some claim he was involved with the murders. I keep reading/hearing that he's sick and tired of hearing about whether or not he was involved. If he really wants to clear his name, he should do some kind of interview or be interrogated by the LAPD and go public with it. Marcia Clark said Jason loved Nicole too much to be involved.
Watch the documentary “ my brother the serial killer” The guy tells the story of how his brother was friends with OJ and called him either right before the news hit or right after the news hit and told him he was involved with something that was about to come out on the news. This guy believes his brother that is now dead was the person that helped LJ. After watching that I believe so too because I think this guy killed people from Florida all the way to California. And the brother was positive he was friends with OJ prior. If I am remembering correctly it has been years since I watched it but look it up. It’s making me want to watch it again
I can't Imagine what their kids went through, witnessing the DV and having their mom taken away from them in such a brutal and disgusting way + having O.J. as their dad omgggg! I highly recommend the documentary OJ: Made in America, it's about the case and OJ's life in the context of american history and race relations as well, and it's EXCELLENT! Just brilliant. But damn it felt HEAVY! I think they won an Oscar for it. But yeah it haunted me for a couple days...What that man did is plain evil he's not normal 🥴
That movie wasn't even in the same ballpark as what went down in real life. In particular, when the LAPD called Simpson in Chicago. If you look at the actual trial. It was confirmed by that same cop, that Simpson asked the cop over and over on what happened. The cop also stated that Simpson was upset, he couldn't answer Simpson's questions. Regarding race relations. A lot of white people back then were pathetic. They'd spinned this a race thing where Blacks made it about race. The truth of the matter was. Whites made it about race, because in the collectives eyes, Simpson and Nicole were a modern day Othello. Had that been his first wife who was Black. This topic would have ended after the pursuit on highway 5. Johnny Cochran's daughter who worked as a news anchor woman in Los Angeles during that, received so many death threats, she had to quit her job and relocate to Atlanta. The entire family got death threats.Pretty much the entire law team whom worked with Simpson were either threatened or those so called white friends stopped talking to them. So um yes. It was about race and violence for them.
My response to Cydnee: You're pretty young so there are elements of this story that you probably aren't aware of. One being that Nicole was not some innocent person as you portrayed her here. She was the person to see if you were coming to Hollywood back then and you wanted to buy cocaine. This was well known in those Hollywood circles back then. You're on the right track when you say someone else was there with OJ. It's doubtful that OJ actually did the killing but a good possibility that he was there when it happened and got out of there as soon as he could because he couldn't say anything or he would have been killed himself. I saw the actual crime scene back then when I was interning in news and I can tell you there wouldn't have been just some blood droplets here and there. He would have been covered in blood. He certainly wouldn't have been able to dispose of the clothing he had on within a span of a half hour and jump in a limo. There was money that Nicole owed to people in the criminal world. She was also having sex with Goldman and he had been seen in the car that OJ bought for Nicole before that. He wasn't just some random waiter dropping off some glasses. Yes OJ was an abusive male and they were obsessed with each other. He had control issues and really should have been arrested during all of those domestic violence calls. The media circus was also staged (think about it. If this was a spontaneous chase down a freeway, where did the people who were cheering for him get those signs from?) as this event is what lead to 24 hour news channels and reality TV. This step brought in an entirely new revenue stream. Court TV is basically what people watched back then if they wanted to see what went on with criminal cases. This all changed with the coverage of this case. It's why we have 24 hour news channels now. It's not a coincidence that its Robert Kardashian's kids who really cemented reality TV as a genre. Your delivery was funny and entertaining and reminded me of a Drunk History episode. Nice makeup job too. There's always more to what went on though, than the official story.
James M. Barry!!! The author of Peter Pan. I’m obsessed with him and Peter Pan and his whole life is so interesting and tragic but he also did some amazing things and left an awesome legacy with the Ormond Street Hospital in London. Please do a Makeup and History on him! ❤️ ps - love your channel and you. You have great content and I so appreciate your openness with where you’re at.
I’m so glad you’re back! I hope you’re doing well and that you and your husband are enjoying living in Norway-one of my classmates lived there and she loved it. No worries if you don’t update, your mental health is so important and I’m glad you are so open about it.
You are a great story teller. I remember this happening in the news at least. It's so sad all round. It's hard to believe he is alive and free this whole time & kinda making jokes about it. It's just so wrong. Also, you are beautiful 🥰 Welcome back from your break. We all need to take care of our mental health & thank you so much for being so honest & open about how your mind works. Some days are better than others for most of us and some of us need to take medication for our brains. Just like some people need to take meds for their kidneys or liver or whatever. Keep well & thanks for being your awesome honest self 💖🥰👍
CYDNEEEEEEE I missed you ! You look beautiful as ever I’m glad you’re doing well 💗 prioritize yourself we will all be here waiting when you get back to us 💗💗
First everybody needs to take a mental break! Take them as often as you need. Let me just thank you for sharing your gift of story telling. I was in the 11th grade when this occurred and until today I never knew why Ron Goldman was at Nicole's house. As a history fan myself this is a wonderful platform. And your makeup was flawless. Do your thing Cydnee❤
I suffer from anxiety, am on meds and those medications saved my life. In any event, I have missed you, also. You break down information SO WELL, that I can finally appreciate history. So, welcome back, and know that you have positive contributions to total strangers like me. I’d love for you to cover WWI.
Another detail that was critical to the case is how the crime scene was processed. There is video of the technicians cross contaminating the crime scene, and this puts the DNA results in jeopardy. This case changed the how evidence is collected, handled and stored across the US. The police bungled the case and caused a guilty man to walk free. My heart goes out to Nicole and Ron - and their families.
Video Suggestion: The Curious Case of Tim & Jeff Buckley. Tim was a famous musician in the 60s, amazing voice, handsome, charismatic, but he succumbed to an overdose around 30. Before he did however, he fathered a Son - Jeff Buckley - who he only met once. Nevertheless, Jeff grew up to be a musician himself, at first hiding his name and relation to the famous Tim... Until one night at a memorial gig for Tim, a young man who looked exactly like him, like the ghost of Tim striding astage, sits down and begins to sing. The audience heard, to match his countenance and frame, Tim's voice once more, a gorgeous tenor now known for songs like Hallelujah and Grace. Turns out, Jeff never got to go his father's funeral and this was his way of saying adieu to the Dad he barely knew... Some of Tim's old friends happen to be there to hear, some label guys and the rest is history. He had his pick of labels and went onto create one of the greatest albums of all, 'Grace' (always to be found on greatest ever listings). Sadly, fate was rounding on the younger Buckley and after extensive touring, he died around the same age as his Father, shortly before his second album could be completed, under mysterious circumstances. That's literally just the bare bones - There's so much more to go into and you would tell it *amazingly*.
I didn't get a notification so I'm late to see this video, but so glad you are feeling in a good place and posting again. Fantastic video as always - you got right to the heart of the most important issues with this case. This was one of the most divisive mass news events ever. Divides within the USA fell along race lines, gender lines, lines between police supporters vs. people who resent police, lines between people who love celebrities unconditionally and those who always resent celebrities. As an old person, I can vouch you got it right, and you zeroed in on the most impotant parts of a story that could go on for hours. During the criminal trial, the prosecution brought up the bloody shoe print and had witness that said OJ had owned a pair if shoes like that. But the shoes were not found and defence said he had never owned those shoes. After the criminal trial, OJ told reporters he would never wear such "ugly ass shoes." But in the wrongful death civil trial, as you said, the attorneys for Ron Goldman's family showed a photo of OJ wearing those shoes. It was a photo that had been in the press before the murders and wasn't hard to find. One of the many examples of how botched the investigation was. The prosecutors spent the whole trial looking helpless and confused, while Cochran and the rest of the defense team were energized and confident. Thank you again for your insightful work and I'm so glad you are doing well.
Topic idea: I'd love for you to talk about King Edward VIII and Wallace Simpson (the woman he abdicated the crown of England for) and their ties to Hitler. I watched a documentary recently that alluded to Edward being responsible for the Nazi's taking over Paris in WWII.
Hey this is Yasho from India!! I’m sooo addicted to your videos. I’ve seen other channels like Bailey, Stephanie boo, drunk n history etc.. but girl your are the BEST! Your videos addict me so much. I like the way you add some clips from original documentaries and display the dates/ names of the characters. It makes us understand the story very clearly just like reading a book or watching a movie. And your way of explanation!!!! Ohewww you’re a 🌟Pls do more of make up and history videos❤️
Thanks for making this, Cyndnee. Growing up in a home with domestic violence, and having just gotten out of a toxic relationship, people need to know the warning signs. Rest in peace Nicole.
Love these deep dives (& all your content!) but know that we're still here for you if you want to do something lighter too. It definitely seems like this one laid heavy on you & I don't blame you at all! Anyway, glad to see you back. 😊 Take care of yourself ❤
I remember seeing that "car chase" on the news when I was in elementary school. It was crazy. Now being an adult and hearing/understanding the facts, I'm just so disgusted by this whole thing. smh
Omg I literally just talked about her saying to my daughter happened to Cydnee I miss her videos and this video pop up. I'm happy to know that you're doing well.
I remember the tension and divide this trial caused in the U.S. Im glad to hear that the families won't let up. I feel bad for the children the most.. I can't imagine how confusing it must have been for them.
I was wondering where you were!!!!! I’m glad that you are doing better. I’m also glad that you listened to yourself and sought out help 😘 I miss my history lessons annnnnddddd the beat 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm envious of your story telling skills : D. And I know I'd never be able to get details right if I was also putting make up on while I talk lol. Either my face would get botched up or the story would. Thank you for another fascinating video
So late watching this video but June 12 is my birthday and literally in my baby book it says what was on the TV when you were in the hospital and my mom legit just wrote “OJ Simpson killed his wife.” The story is so tragic and sad but the fact she just bluntly wrote that IN MY BABY BOOK has always cracked me up
Hi there, love your videos. Glad you’re back. Unfortunately, you did get some of the details incorrect per the interviews from the ESPN OJ made in America. I highly recommend you watch that. It’s a documentary with interviews of policeman that were called to the couples home and friends
Happy to see you back! I grew up in LA during that time and remember the OJ trial taking over my afternoon cartoons, which was total BS. Just a few years earlier we had the Rodney King trial which resulted in the 1992 riots. I feel like that MAY have played a role in the jury’s decision. Just my opinion.
That and the black teenaged girl who was shot in the back of the head (walking away) in a Korean convienent/grocery store. The Korean woman who did it basically got away with it. It was a huge miscarriage of justice.
@@TheBOG3 actions have consequences and I am sure this was not the first time an African American person made trouble in that store. Sooner or later, people will snap. I guess that is acceptable when it is people if your persuasion.
@@PungiFungi That’s a disgusting perspective. I don’t care how many people of a certain category have done something inappropriate, that doesn’t justify shooting somebody who hasn’t, and for that matter there’s no justification in shooting shoplifters- how is some stolen chips or soda worth a persons life?
@@lindseytallent2855 , stealing may not get one the death penalty but it may lead to deadly consequences. So being right is worth your life? Sure, the shooter is in the wrong, but YOU ARE DEAD. I guess it is worth it.
I've been watching your channel for about a year now. I enjoy the history and how accurate you are with the material that you present. I also enjoy the comedic relief that you give as well! I laughed so hard at the time machine in this episode because I wasn't expecting that 😆
It's so great to see you back. You look absolutely stunning!! I absolutely LOVE your videos and this one was particularly good. This one has bothered me since it happened. The trial was a joke and basically won on that stupid, " if the glove don't fit you must acquit." Nevermind the DNA evidence or the fact that the glove would shrink due to the time factor and liquid exposure. They let a murderer go.
Ahhh my beautiful Cydnee, how I have missed you. Glad you have a better handle on your mental health and praying that gets better and better. RUclips just isn't the same without you!♥
Welcome back we have truly missed you. I pray for your mental health and well-being. Take it a day at a time and just remember that it’s okay to feel down you just have to find a way to start over the next day
I remember the verdict. I was in science class in 7th grade and it was right before the 7th grade lunch (each grade had their own lunch period) My teacher let us out a few minutes early so we can go watch in the cafeteria. I do distinctly remember her saying “Who thinks OJ is innocent?” and the class cheered. It was definitely a racial aspect to the case then and even now. In the black community, most will say “Yea he did it, he just got away with it.” Yes, there is/has been a bias against black people in the US justice system, but this entire case was a giant fail and my heart breaks for Nicole and Ron; what happened them was absolutely disgusting and savage. BTW OJ still don’t fux with black people.
So happy to have you back at it. You and Bailey Sarian are my favorite! 😍 I am old and don't really use Instagram so I was really sad when you stopped putting videos out. I am so happy that you're working on better mental health. Go you! ❤️
Hey Cyd, glad to see you but I understand why you took a break. Funny silly light-hearted comical makeup and histories would be nice stories that are heartfelt but not tragic or have a lighter ending. But most importantly doing videos that really matter to you and make you feel good. Keep yourself well ♥
Hi! New here - but I agree that mental health is important and taking breaks is necessary. I've been diagnosed with CPTSD and take two medications daily to help me. For the longest time I thought reaching out for help made me weak but now I can say it was the opposite. I felt safer suffering than I did about getting help. The unknown can be scary. No regrets now though and no shame.
At 11:52 the look of sheer DISGUST on your face is SO on point with that horrendous picture of Orenthal! (O.J) - NOW that I know his Birthname isn't O.J - LOL I absolutely love watching your channel Cyd! You always make & keep the topics interesting & your makeup game is epic It's always fun to learn more about History, Serial Killers & stuff like that in general. Thank you for everything that you do Darlin'!
I totally feel you about mental health I myself am crazy I call myself that and I’m a bit autistic and yes sometimes you need a break just know that you’re loved
I love watching your videos when I do my makeup! Sitting there in front of my vanity while watching/hearinh you feels like a im hanging out with a best friend that is so funny and has the most interesting stories. I adore it! But please take all the time you need! Mental health should always be the first priority! Earth is so lucky to have a person like you in it. You make living here that much more amazing 🖤 from your unknown bestie, I love you! Keep up the great work!
The narcissistic abuser does get almost all the support. The secret is in leaving at the first red flag esp. cheating or violence and do not return. Going around him in the first place was a bad mistake. #greatvideos
Mental health coping skills in my toolbox: -walks -sunshine. Esp on the feet and legs -smells like peppermint or citrus -vibration & solfeggio frequencies -art; makeup, painting, music -"crying shifts"; give yourself 30m a day to express built up emotions -tea and the steps to making it -light an incense -sit by water (river, ocean, lake etc) -therapy -medicine. Not for everyone, sure. But it changed my quality of life -day trips or picnics somewhere in nature -hot baths -holding yourself like you'd hold someone you love. Tight squeezes, gentle rocking, kind words I and so many others love your channel. There's something so special about you and it comes through on screen. Take gentle care 💜
OJ is a truly disturbed individual. The fact that he makes jokes about Nicole’s passing when his own kids have to spend the rest of their lives without their mom is sick. Also apparently he was saying really disgusting sexual stuff about Kim Kardashian while he was serving time in prison for a robbery and kidnapping conviction in 2008 and he’s her godfather. I wish Nicole’s family got the justice they deserve but at least Ron’s family were awarded something.
I don’t think Ron’s family has seen a cent of that settlement but I could be wrong.
@@Hippidippimahm thats correct. He has never paid anything to his victims family.
@@Hippidippimahm that’s sad and so messed up!! Basically shows how he thinks he can just do what he wants to!!! His life hasn’t been great since
I am keeping an eye on Kanye. Too often we keep an eye on them only after people commit gruesome acts.
yes and apparently he was seen at least twice yelling at Nicole's grave after the trial!
"She felt they would side with him." Yep. Mine did. They always sided with him, even when he told them to their face he had abused me for years. People are jerks. I feel so bad for her.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that you're in a better situation now, or will be soon
I was in the same situation several years ago in high school with an ex-boyfriend and that is exactly what everybody did to me too. I’m so sorry, I know that when I think about my past hurt most times it still hurts to think about, but I’m hoping that you’ve been able to grow from your experiences and I’m hoping they’ve helped make you a better person too. My children and my husband help me get through each day and I’m hoping you have the same! Sending love, God bless love ✌️❤️💯
Yeah, I wish America’s justice system was better and as is I’d never trust a jury of my peers. When the abuse is happening in your community all of a sudden logic goes out the door, and it’s way more comfortable to believe the abuser is innocent.
Can we all take a second to appreciate Cydnee’s story telling skills 🙌🏽
Awesome! She’s so precious and cute!
🙌🙌🙌
ABSOLUTELY ❤
Absolutely, she is amazing 💞
I really don't know how she tells fascinating stories and still getting her make up right lol
I was in law school at the time of the trial, and your analysis of reasonable doubt and the doubts cast by the very real spectre of racial bias and law enforcement is right on point. I like the fact that you can look at it as someone who truly wasn’t there and didn’t know anything about OJ Simpson before doing your research.
Haven't started watching yet, I'll save the video for later, but I just wanted to say that I missed you, and hope you've been well. Just remember that any break you take, at least for me anyway, won't make me unsubscribe or stop watching.
I agree, she is so entertaining. Love her so much no matter when she posts, always happy to see her when she does!
I was planning to wait till later too but watched it all 😂
@@annmariebusu9924 so was I as I am now a new subie😊
@@Edangel14-421 '
Same here! I‘be missed your stories but, I hope you are ok 👌🏽.
Growing up it was always my understanding from my parents that we should be happy that OJ got off because it was the first time a black man got away with something. But like... Everybody knew he did it. That's all I ever knew. But I'm not going to lie I have never heard all the details of this case. This is sickening. As a victim of domestic violence this just made me so mad. OJ getting away with murder was not a win. Smh.
You're pretty young so there are elements of this story that you probably aren't aware of. One being that Nicole was not some innocent person as you portrayed her here.

There was money that Nicole owed to people in the criminal world. She was also having sex with Goldman and he had been seen in the car that OJ bought for Nicole before that.

@@reespace Please consider making your own stand-alone post like this because SO many people either don't know, or conveniently forget, many of the aspects of the case you wrote here.
Exactly! Because it's not like OJ is an advocate for the black community. He's one of those "I don't see color" types. All he did before Nicole's murder & the trial was hang out with white people
Can I just say, what a smart dog! Barking nonstop for two hours to get someone’s attention because it knows something is wrong and then leading them to their bodies.
I think he was an akita dog. It seems like they form extremely strong bonds with their family too. I feel like he was a combo smart and also a devoted dog and they seem to understand loss. I think he understood Nicole was gone and was going through like severe anxiety . Apparently they're actually pretty aloof with strangers, so the fact that they followed strangers meant he was also like under severe stress.
Omg really? The tragedy is just so immense. I hope he found a good home.
Yeah it’s really sad. Apparently the dog was covered in blood… must’ve been very traumatic. A tragedy for everyone involved really. OJ disgusts me.
I know it’s by no means whatsoever the same, thing but I got my youngest dog at 20 and 6 months later out of the blue I started having seizures and for 9 years now she has barked incessantly when I’m gonna have a seizure and continues to bark until help arrives, she’s done this for hours before multiple times, she never had any training whatsoever as I said, I was 20 when my seizures started and she was only 6 months old, but she recognised I was in need of help and barked from the very first time and still does to this day! Dogs are incredibly smart and loyal! I hope and pray Nicole’s dog found a good home after she was killed!
@@vondonstrut218 he was!
What really got me in this case was when some of the jurors admitted publicly they fought for a not guilty verdict due to previous police brutality cases against the black community (cases who were never served justice, mind you).
These people were so angry they let a murderer go loose in order to stick it to the man, his actual guilt was of no concern to them. For a guy who didn't even care about his community.
To say this case was very racially charged is an understatement.
I know it was DISGUSTING!!! Screw the white girl and her kids……yea let’s let a PSYCHOPATH go free to destroy more women and his kids!! 🤬🤬🤯
Just unbelievable…..
@@6Haunted-Days It wasn't about 'screw the white girl' it was about them stupidly trying to make up for all the historical lynchings of innocent black men who were wrongful accused of raping and murdering white women by letting an obviously guilty man go free, which also feels backhanded because if anything that dumb, unjust decision clearly made people like you more resentful towards black people. Let's not act like a black man can't still possibly get shot if a white woman screams in his vicinity, even if he's out birdwatching or some shit.
@@SobrietyandSolace 18, naive, fast, and blinded by that💰.
she should have known if he cheated on his wife with her, then what did she expect of him?
Yep, then she turns around and moves into the family home that he shared with his "Wife" and children, so she clearly thought she was a better fit for the Juice...and we all can see now that proved to be wrong.
Keep yo legs closed to married men in my Nene voice!

I hope you get to read this comment. My class is covering Reagan's administration and I shared your two part series with them for commentary. They really enjoyed it. I completely understand taking a mental health break. I've decided to graduate with my master's in May because my PhD program is mentally too much. Take all the time you need and put your health first. I will do the same. I'm glad you're back!
You can always go back later but mental health is crucial. You’re very wise, Aisha. Congratulations on your imminent graduation! ❤️
Congratulations on your degree. Trust me the phd program is hell. I did both my masters and EdD at the same time because the school I was in did the grant in that matter. It was hell, I lost my son in the process but I graduated. 2yrs later I am now addressing it all. Take breaks and have a therapist because even though your going to school, you have a life outside of it. Best of luck
Congrats Aisha! Yes mental health breaks are very important!!! You will do great things!!!
What REALLY happened here, in Northern California, when Regan was Governor. He closed down many of the insane asylums "effective immediately,"" and literally OVERNIGHT Market Street in SF became a psychiatric "out"patient facility on the streets of the Tenderloin. It was really sad, It was like "Night Of The Living Dead."
I'm a med student and i had to take a mental health brak, i transferred schools and I'm doing better than ever. I'm also going to therapy! Mental health is TOP!
I was in junior high when the trial was on. Our school kept it on all day in our lunchroom. When the verdict was announced, all the boys cheered. I was heartbroken 😔 that poor girl and her loved ones never got justice.
My mom was pretty close to Ron Goldman from elementary school all the way through high school. They signed every year book for each other. She said it was really weird after she found out what happened to him. The fact that he was just an innocent bystander, in the wrong place at the wrong time, is so sad. Obviously, the whole situation is sad, but he had absolutely nothing to do with it! It's just so awful 🥺
I never knew that Ron was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time. This should have been an open-and-shut case. The evidence was so clear. The gloves, the Bruno Magli shoe prints, Robert clearly hid and disposed of evidence, on camera, it’s all so disgusting.
I bet some of those cops that liked OJ feel guilty now.
They were seeing each other. He wasn't just dropping off some glasses.
@@reespace so what if he was, she was divorced.
Tbh I feel like OJ wasn’t physically there at the time of the murders. Like he was smirking when he tried on the gloves because he knew he wasn’t there to wear any gloves!! My professor made an analogy that of course the Lapd was corrupt so he got off , and they’re the ones that planted the glove.
It's sad what powerful people get away with. It's not about black and white, it's about the rich and the poor.😐 This case clearly illustrates it.
Cydnee I’m so glad you’re back! I was just thinking about you and hoping that you were doing well. I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing better. Sending you so much love and praying that you continue to do better.❤️🙏🏻 It really is so insane that he never got in trouble with the murders he definitely did it and no one can tell me differently.
I was thinking about her recently too I swear ❤
Me Three 🥰🌹🥰
Me four!!!✨
I used to watch her and lost her somehow and couldn't remember her name : (. I'm glad she popped up in my recommended section again.
You are a Phenomenal, creative intelligent visual journalist. You became depressed because you suppressed what you have inside. We must let what is inside emerge and share it with the world because it's who we are and why we are here. I am a sketch artist and I stopped drawing for over 20 years, started back about 5 years my art has evolved and even better. Don't let anyone stop you from being you. PEACE!
I was literally just thought about you the other day and how I missed your content. Im glad you are back!
Me too, I thought "shit she's probably so burned out with the demand of makeup and history what have we done" lol
Not to mention that the same gloves that was found was actually bought by Nicole as a gift to OJ and they had receipts of it. Just wasn’t allowed in the court room 🤷♀️ OJ had very good lawyers.
OJ not guilty because he was not guilty of the crimes. you can't convict an innocent man
girl you have been missed!!! glad you are back & hope you’re well❤️
Missed you! Hope all is well. Notice the shady members of the dream team is no longer here!
FunFact : After the death of Nichole, H-Town dedicated one of their albums "Ladies Edition" to her and under every track on the back of the album they put the domestic hotline number. I'm just curious if this wasn't a famous athlete would they even care ???
This case caused sooo much racial tension across the nation. It did turn into more of a racial case than a murder case. It was so obvious to so many people that he did it, and when the jury came back so quickly with a non guilty verdict jaws dropped all across the US. You had to be so careful what you said, tho. If you were white and disagreed with the verdict it was enough to start a fight. And God help you if you were black and disagreed! It was all so ridiculous, and two innocent people didn’t get justice because people were blinded by racial tensions instead of looking clearly at the facts. If he had been anyone else, he’d either be in for life or sitting on death row running through his appeals. Smdh…
This is true, I remember watching a documentary on this case and that this was after a few very public cases where black people were completely cheated by the justice system, and there were members of the jury who fought hard during liberation to come back with a not guilty verdict because of this. I know it's messed up, because he later committed more crimes and was not innocent, but I can understand why they retaliated like this. As a jury member for such a high-profile case you suddenly have the power to do something after seeing so much injustice against your race, but you were selected to make things "fair" and everyone is assuming he's gonna have a guilty verdict. I think I'd wanna fuck shit up too, it'd be hard not to
Wow! I didn’t know the race divide. This case was before my time. I feel like the non guilty verdict was done intentionally. Governments around the world do this all the time, especially around elections (most recently, George Floyd). I’m 23 and at first racial bias (I’m a black woman) made me angry about what happened. It still shouldn’t have happened, but when I took a step back to look at the police who placed bricks around busy areas to start riots and who were breaking public property, I saw exactly what was going on. George Floyd like Nicole Brown Simpson was the sacrificial lamb to divide the public. They’ve been doing this for years and still masses fall for it. If we, the people, joined forces, stood together and weren’t sheep to these corporations and agendas being pushed, we could change this evil world.
The whole thing was used as a race bait
I remember I saw the documentary about Nicole & Ron's death..I sa×the blood their bodies...I WAS DISGUSTED 🤢🤢💔💔💔THEY ARE HUMANS! IDGAF ABOUT THEIR SKIN COLOR...THEY WERE MURDERED! IDC IF OJ IS SO CALLED BLACK...HE DID IT!!!!!!!!! HE WAS BEATING ON HER & VERY CONTROLLING..MEANWHILE.. HE WAS A CHEATER..
My white mother thought he was innocent and you could not disagree.
One interesting note about Robert Kardashian. At the time of the trial he had not practiced for 20 years, and he had never been a trial attorney in the first place....he focused on real estate law which is how he was able to invest in real estate properties to well. That was where his wealth came from.
There was a picture of Oj Simpson with some sort of bag as he entered Robert Kardashian's home. The detectives believed it was evidence from the murder.
Immediately after that Robert reinstated his license to practice law in California and was retained as one of the dream team even though he had zero qualifications.
There is a legal loophole when it comes to client attorney privilege, and because of this Robert could not be called by the prosecution as a witness.
If you watch the verdict you can see Robert hang his head in shame while everyone else jumped up to celebrate. He knew that he had just gotten a murderer off in order to save his own ass.
there is also a news coverage clip that shows Kardashian taking this same suitcase, walking pas reporters and police, to his car and leaving. It was not known to be important at the time and no one paid attention to it. The suitcase has never been seen again.

That’s the question of this century baby girl! Lol
Love to see you back doing these. Been watching you about 3 years now. Love your vibe 💕
I remember the day that they announced on the news that OJ was free. I couldn’t believe it I was baffled and so upset and heartbroken for Nicole’s family and Ron Goldman’s. OJ had beat her so many times, and was on cocaine as it was well known, and most of the tape recordings of 911 calls that I listened to, Nicole sounded terrified and you could hear him enraged in the background sounding like he was really sped up and deranged. To me in the end I felt that with all the proof they had of his abuse and drug use and that alone along with the scene of the crime how horrific of a crime of passion it was, I couldn’t believe they could doubt for one second that it wasn’t him. (I definitely think he was alone as well. ) I think possibly Kato knew more than he let on too, but was afraid of OJ. Thank you so much for doing this story you did a great job! At least justice was finally done in a different way when he decided to steal his own memorabilia from a hotel. And I think he’s in jail for something else now I can’t remember. Love your make up beautiful BTW!
There was not evidence to convict OJ.he was not guilty of the crime
woah. i am so grateful to be recommended a black woman doing true crime content?! i dont know how you havent shown up for me before, but it lowkey does really affect my self image when i search for true crime stuff and see tons of white creators. seeing another woc covering true crime (and ESPECIALLY this case) makes me soo happy! thank you for all the work you put in
One good thing that came from this tragedy is a new law passed that abused woman no longer had the burden to put their abuser in jail. Back in the 90's women were afraid to press charges because they knew what would happen when they got out of prison. I believe it was called the O.J. law. Because of the law, when a woman is abused by a man, the woman has no part of his imprisonment.
If you haven’t seen Oj vs the people , go watch! As a true crime junkie, this is one of the cases that I know the most info about, so I’m very excited to hear her cover this case!
Very good series. I still can’t believe he got off.
I remember when it aired on tv
@@DreMo521_ he got off because the evidence was made up.thats what white officers does to pin a crime om a per person of colour
@@godhg9694 you have a point for sure! However, I think and this is just me, he had it planned out lol
@@DreMo521_ Don't go by feelings there was no evidence. there were countless black men jailed for 40yrs and 33yrs and today they coming free because of the same thing racism .

Mental health is the most important thing!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@meditationzone4599 Yes and that is why I fight and advocate for it on my platforms 🥰❤️
Yes, never feel bad or sorry for it!!! It will catch up with you and then everyone will be sorry
@@hobbitandginger correct
Good things to do for mental health:
1. Regular earlier bedtime
2. Daily exersize, walking 20 min after meals
3. Weekly counseling, never miss an appointment
4. Weekly or daily mass, weekly confession, church
5. Regular mealtimes, protein, veggies, fruit, carbs, try not to have boxed or canned food, eat fresh as much as possible, multivitamin
6. Build your support team, family, friends, priest/councelor/preacher, school counselor, etc
7. Join a church group, like Legion of Mary, etc
8. Volunteer for 1 or 2 hours a week, take the focus off you.
9. Focus on the positive, Jesus, build healthy relationships with yourself and others
10. School is always a good idea!
I missed you!! Im glad you are feeling better. Mental health is really important
🥰
It's all that matters. I don't think people should have children until they're mentally balanced.
@@swampsprite9 Mentally, physically, & financially
I'm sorry you've been struggling, but your honesty and genuine personality is so refreshing. And I LOVE this series... so thank you for the video! 😁
I love you! I appreciate your honesty about mental health I think it's important to get rid of the stigma. I suffered with depression and anxiety my whole life, I am 57. It's far more acceptable to talk about it now then in the 80's and I basically suffered alone. Part of managing my mental health is to be able to talk about it. I don't take meds now, but I did in the 90's when I fell into a life threatening depression. You survive depression, because the obsessive thoughts of not wanting to exist gets unbearable. Hope you find your best way to manage your mental health. My secret was to treat a depression spell like a cold, just let it run its course and know it will soon go away. Love your work, and will always be a subscriber.
Additional facts about the case: 1) There were pictures of OJ wearing those gloves even though they were too small, 2) At Nicole’s funeral, OJ creeped everyone out because he acted very happy - even flirted with a woman at the funeral (per Nicole’s sister), 3) For the funeral, Nicole’s sister, who looked just like her but with dark hair, dyed her hair blonde to haunt OJ (per Nicole’s sister), and 4) Two of OJ’s three lawyers ended up dying of cancer shortly after the trial. It was speculated they of course knew he was guilty, and holding onto that knowledge manifested into cancer.
Ya had me till that last one. I could see guilt exacerbating an illness but not creating one
@@weganmerner7014 it can create an illness because your immune system goes down. You body just stops fighting the bad stuff and it’s allowed to grow. So, maybe you have some iffy cells in your body that could become cancer, but do not always do … bamm… immune system down allows for dysfunction. It happens A LOT . AND I hope you never get to experience stress in that magnitude. Know it absolutely exists, proved by science ( check out ACES scores).
@@weganmerner7014 it’s likened to similar to dying of a broken heart. It’s real. It’s science.
@@weganmerner7014 The stress from the guilt...
You are speaking nonsense. how having information about a case can cause cancer. Hilter and his helpers killed many and they never got cancer. you can't prove nothing said in your comments.the media controls the weakest minds.
I remember this case so well. It was all that was on tv. You couldn’t escape it. Great job covering the highlights!! One thing to note though. DNA testing was quite new and no one was familiar with it. So even though O.J. Had blood at the scene, no one understood that this was damming evidence. No one!! It was a tragic case to watch. In the end, Nicole never received justice and O.J. raised his kids in peace.
Anyway, that’s how I remember it. I may be wrong.
You’re not wrong. It was all that was on TV until 4pm Monday - Friday. It was so obvious he was guilty and the fact that the stupid black glove fiasco is what set him free is atrocious. I was a tween at the time and even I knew what was going on.
Everyone knew it was O.J.’s DNA and believed in DNA. They had already convicted people for murders and rapes using DNA before the O.J. trial. The doubt was if it had somehow been contaminated (as if) or put there by the police (LOL) somehow.
@@TheBOG3 but the media and the whole “it doesn’t fit” BS made a total mockery of the entire trial, too. How’d the detective get his blood in order to place it at the scene? Like really? He broke in, took those boots and walked around, the crime scene too?? C’mon 😂
First of all I wanna say Welcome back. Got this during BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!! Always put yourself first. Glad your doing okay. 💜💜🙏🏽🤗🥰
I was in high school when this happened and remember till this day that the teachers didn't teach any lessons for a full week after the Verdict came thru.We we're glued to the TV in all classes. We were in total awe of the this. Honestly we had never seen anything like this before. Literally EVER. It brought so much tension with everyone where it made us a whole start looking at race as a whole. It brought up so many convos and debates in our high school until the point where they had to call the whole school into the gym to talk to us about race relations because of all the rioting/fighting amongst the teenage students. This was a time to live. Not sure if your reading this but can we do one on Rodney King.
OMG!!! I was sitting here doing my nails listening to videos when I look down and seen YOU POSTED A VIDEO!!!!!! I stopped the video I was listening to and here I am now!!! Girl take care of urself but just know that we all missed u so much and we r so very happy to see u back..... 😁
I too was psyched to see Cyndee, and your comment inspired me to paint my nails while watching this! Happenstance! Have a great day!
First: great to have you back hunny!!!!
🤦♀️ good Ol Ojay. I’m not ashamed to admit: I was like 12 when this happened and I only sided with him because he was black and it was like an unheard of a at the rule that time to be on his side….BUT as I got older…it became painfully clear he was crazy and more than likely the mastermind behind the deaths hand down. And got away with it. Litterally one of the only black men ever in history that got away Scott free and will never pay for it sigh. It is what it is. But we all know money talks people! No matter what color you are. If you have money and high up connections ; they can get away with everything. My opinion
Cydnee it’s so good to see and hear from you, I was just praying for you and hoping you were ok. I know how it is to have a Anxiety and mental health, last year I suffered a mental breakdown and realized it’s nothing embarrassing to take medication for it.
I’m so glad you’re back, I missed these but I understand that a lot goes in to making these and you have a life outside YT. Proud of you and love your makeup and history videos. You’re a good storyteller.
I'm so happy you took the time off to get help Mental health should always be a priority but I must also admit I'm happy to see your smiling happy face and to hear you covering these videos
I remember being in 6th grade and my teacher playing the verdict on the roll out tv. My fourth grade teacher walked in to listen. When they said not guilty she was so emotional and she yelled out a curse word and said He was guilty as sin and stormed out in tears. I must have watched enough of the news to know something about it but I clearly remember being surprised because I thought I just found out my fourth grade teacher was racist. The narrative in the media must have fallen along those lines because I know I sure didn't learn that from my parents.
Wow, I think that was the narrative that was being pushed for sure
Did she knew Nicole?
It was a rough time. In the black community, we ( mistakenly rooted for his freedom) were blinded by the biases we we're all tired of seeing in law enforcement, judicial system, etc. I was a teenager and remember (all black school, a few white teachers) we watched the verdict and cheered and the not guilty verdict. Despite the circus of it all, the clear evidence, all of it. Looking back, and with all of his antics over the years, obviously wrong wrong wrong.... Embarrassing time.
@@nataliehurd2532 OJ was not guilty of those crimes,
Focusing on your mental health is so important. So happy you sought care for that and came back when you were ready.
I am so proud of you for looking after your mental health. Especially in the black community there's an insane stigma against having mental health issues. I hope you're doing better now and glad you are so brave to discuss it. It's been a busy week, so I'm just now able to watch, but I'm so glad to watch now
Hi Cydnee, it's great to have you back! Video recommendation: JFK jr and Carolyn Bessette. I think their story is so fascinating.
Oh really I've never heard of Carolyn Bassette. I will google her !
Yes! Great idea!
I feel you that is why I cut most of my social media, I try taking walks, I tried medicine and it didn’t work for me. Thank you for addressing mental illness. I am also struggling with depression and I stay off social media and do meditation in order to clear my head and try to make peace with the things that hurt me. Okay now we know why OJ was problematic. The fact that he was cheating on her with Paula barbiery, wasn’t good enough for him, he had to kill NIcole because of control and Ron just happen to be there at the wrong place becaming a victim as well. Towards Robert Kadashians life he regretted taking the case, he had stop talking to him after he got out. Something that was documented. Both families haven’t seen a dime to this day. I do believe Sydney saw something because for Sydney to act out when she got to live with him, I believe it’s the reason why she changed her name and moved to another state to get away from all this drama and from him.
Her eyes are stunningly beautiful. Her elegancy and beauty astounds me! She is just so gorgeous!

OJ was probably guilty but it was more the prosecutor and the Los Angeles police departments fault that he was not found guilty then it was Johnny Cochran.
Jay Z said it best “ i’m not black I’m OJ... OK” 😒
This pretty much sums up the Black communities feelings about OJ back then and currently.
This was absolutely a case of racial bias and that doesn’t negate the fact that OJ is probably still very guilty. But this is absolutely a case of racial bias.
OJ was a successful, rich, famous, uppity🚩, ego stricken🚩, narcissistic🚩, drug addict🚩Black man married to a White woman.
On top of that remember that this was post the Rodney King incident and the LA riots. Racial tension was high and it wasn’t just black people who were hot mad under the collar about it a lot of white people and a lot of cops especially were participating in some racially problematic behaviors.
I think OJ did it but I think that he either had Katie kill her or Kato saw him come back from killing her and he didn’t say anything because he thought that he could use to get money out of OJ later on. And then the civil trial happened and he realize he could be found equally as liable but that’s just my conspiracy theory and I can’t prove it. I feel like if the police had done a real investigation instead of just trying to connect all the dots back to OJ, they could’ve made him crack. His story doesn’t make any sense when you really look at it more than on a surface level.
But what’s not talked about was how a lot of the evidence was contaminated, how the chain of evidence was interfered with on multiple pieces of evidence at multiple different times, and that police officer wasn’t just racist but he was also believed to have tampered with other cases.
Even if OJ was guilty all of these little infractions would have led to anyone else being let off on this cakes and that is the prosecutor and the Los Angeles county police departments fault.
It angers me that Nicole and Ron will never actually receive justice whether OJ did it or not because even if you go back and examine the evidence because it has been widely contaminated if there was another killer we will never know.( I don’t believe there was another killer, I think OJ did it in someway.)
This case was absolutely about a lot of bias because they rushed to judge this case because OJ was black, because he was wealthy, because he was famous, and because they didn’t think they needed a strong case to convict in the county they were coming from.
However, I think the scariest part is that after this court case OJ was sued civilly by Ron’s family. Where he was found guilty of being responsible for Ron’s death but there in lies the contradiction if he’s guilty I’ve been responsible for his death how did they not find him guilty for the murders. Because what I put forth is plausible but I can’t prove any of it. It feels more like they found him guilty in a civil lawsuit to exact some kind of punishment for murdering these two people as they believed he did but again if you can’t prove that to find him guilty civilly is highly questionable. I also don’t like that the ruling basically gave this white family ownership over this black man. And I know that’s not how it’s phrased but if you look at how much control they have over his name, legacy, finances, and then eventually his freedom because he didn’t pay, that very much comes off like slavery. OJ has done plenty to deserve jail but I feel like a lot of the actions taken against him or more so done on a ‘we couldn’t get you on this, so we’re going to get you on that’, which is it justice it’s revenge and retaliation and our justice system should never be working on those motivations.
Another big issue I have with this case is all these people who claim to be Nicole‘s friends selling all of her information and personal stories for attention and money and Ron‘s family trying to rewrite his history. Nicole and Ron shouldn’t need to be perfect people in order to deserve justice and I have a huge problem with that mindset especially in America that you need to be an angel in order to be a victim.
You can sue someone civilly and they be found guilty or liable for a crime, in this case murder because in civil court you rely on the preponderance of the evidence not beyond a reasonable doubt. Also in civil trial only 51%of the jury has to agree that the accused is guilty based on the presented evidence. In a criminal trial, 100% of the jury has to agree that based on the presented evidence, the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So it is not surprising that OJ was found liable civilly but not criminally.
Yes ma’am!!
I asked my mother did he really say that. My mother was like “Yep!” She said she remembers it like it was yesterday.
I heard a horrible quote once where OJ came to his neighborhood at one point, which was predominantly white, and there was a huge amount of African American supporters waiting for him! When OJ saw them, he asked "what are all these (you know whats) doing in Brentwood?"
I don't think I hate actual serial killers as much as I hate that man. I would pay to punch him in the face.
My response to Cydnee:
You're pretty young so there are elements of this story that you probably aren't aware of. One being that Nicole was not some innocent person as you portrayed her here. She was the person to see if you were coming to Hollywood back then and you wanted to buy cocaine. This was well known in those Hollywood circles back then.
You're on the right track when you say someone else was there with OJ. It's doubtful that OJ actually did the killing but a good possibility that he was there when it happened and got out of there as soon as he could because he couldn't say anything or he would have been killed himself. I saw the actual crime scene back then when I was interning in news and I can tell you there wouldn't have been just some blood droplets here and there. He would have been covered in blood. He certainly wouldn't have been able to dispose of the clothing he had on within a span of a half hour and jump in a limo.
There was money that Nicole owed to people in the criminal world. She was also having sex with Goldman and he had been seen in the car that OJ bought for Nicole before that. He wasn't just some random waiter dropping off some glasses. Yes OJ was an abusive male and they were obsessed with each other. He had control issues and really should have been arrested during all of those domestic violence calls.
The media circus was also staged (think about it. If this was a spontaneous chase down a freeway, where did the people who were cheering for him get those signs from?) as this event is what lead to 24 hour news channels and reality TV. This step brought in an entirely new revenue stream. Court TV is basically what people watched back then if they wanted to see what went on with criminal cases. This all changed with the coverage of this case. It's why we have 24 hour news channels now. It's not a coincidence that its Robert Kardashian's kids who really cemented reality TV as a genre.
Your delivery was funny and entertaining and reminded me of a Drunk History episode. Nice makeup job too. There's always more to what went on though, than the official story.
I agree with everything you said! From researching this case for years, it's hard to know who's side to take in this case!
I love your vids, I'll come back whenever you're feeling up to making one. I also use cerebral and I'm so very happy with it. My cerebral provider has been the best provider I've had in years. She doesn't tell me that my symptoms aren't part of my diagnosis because the DSM doesn't have them listed. She actually knows about my disorder and how to properly help me. Great summary of this story. I was about 13 when this all happened, and I remember even then we thought he did it. I'll never be convinced otherwise. He did it. He killed them. He's no better than Chris Watts, he took his childrens mother from them. ALLEGEDLY
Great to see you back.
Then there's Jason, OJ's son. Some claim he was involved with the murders. I keep reading/hearing that he's sick and tired of hearing about whether or not he was involved. If he really wants to clear his name, he should do some kind of interview or be interrogated by the LAPD and go public with it. Marcia Clark said Jason loved Nicole too much to be involved.
Watch the documentary “ my brother the serial killer” The guy tells the story of how his brother was friends with OJ and called him either right before the news hit or right after the news hit and told him he was involved with something that was about to come out on the news. This guy believes his brother that is now dead was the person that helped LJ. After watching that I believe so too because I think this guy killed people from Florida all the way to California. And the brother was positive he was friends with OJ prior. If I am remembering correctly it has been years since I watched it but look it up. It’s making me want to watch it again
I can't Imagine what their kids went through, witnessing the DV and having their mom taken away from them in such a brutal and disgusting way + having O.J. as their dad omgggg! I highly recommend the documentary OJ: Made in America, it's about the case and OJ's life in the context of american history and race relations as well, and it's EXCELLENT! Just brilliant. But damn it felt HEAVY! I think they won an Oscar for it. But yeah it haunted me for a couple days...What that man did is plain evil he's not normal 🥴
I feel like bad people take forever to die, while many more good people don't make it to old age.
That movie wasn't even in the same ballpark as what went down in real life. In particular, when the LAPD called Simpson in Chicago. If you look at the actual trial. It was confirmed by that same cop, that Simpson asked the cop over and over on what happened. The cop also stated that Simpson was upset, he couldn't answer Simpson's questions.
Regarding race relations. A lot of white people back then were pathetic. They'd spinned this a race thing where Blacks made it about race. The truth of the matter was. Whites made it about race, because in the collectives eyes, Simpson and Nicole were a modern day Othello. Had that been his first wife who was Black. This topic would have ended after the pursuit on highway 5.
Johnny Cochran's daughter who worked as a news anchor woman in Los Angeles during that, received so many death threats, she had to quit her job and relocate to Atlanta. The entire family got death threats.Pretty much the entire law team whom worked with Simpson were either threatened or those so called white friends stopped talking to them. So um yes. It was about race and violence for them.

First everybody needs to take a mental break! Take them as often as you need. Let me just thank you for sharing your gift of story telling. I was in the 11th grade when this occurred and until today I never knew why Ron Goldman was at Nicole's house. As a history fan myself this is a wonderful platform. And your makeup was flawless. Do your thing Cydnee❤
I suffer from anxiety, am on meds and those medications saved my life. In any event, I have missed you, also. You break down information SO WELL, that I can finally appreciate history. So, welcome back, and know that you have positive contributions to total strangers like me. I’d love for you to cover WWI.
Another detail that was critical to the case is how the crime scene was processed. There is video of the technicians cross contaminating the crime scene, and this puts the DNA results in jeopardy. This case changed the how evidence is collected, handled and stored across the US. The police bungled the case and caused a guilty man to walk free. My heart goes out to Nicole and Ron - and their families.
Video Suggestion: The Curious Case of Tim & Jeff Buckley. Tim was a famous musician in the 60s, amazing voice, handsome, charismatic, but he succumbed to an overdose around 30.
Before he did however, he fathered a Son - Jeff Buckley - who he only met once. Nevertheless, Jeff grew up to be a musician himself, at first hiding his name and relation to the famous Tim... Until one night at a memorial gig for Tim, a young man who looked exactly like him, like the ghost of Tim striding astage, sits down and begins to sing. The audience heard, to match his countenance and frame, Tim's voice once more, a gorgeous tenor now known for songs like Hallelujah and Grace. Turns out, Jeff never got to go his father's funeral and this was his way of saying adieu to the Dad he barely knew...
Some of Tim's old friends happen to be there to hear, some label guys and the rest is history. He had his pick of labels and went onto create one of the greatest albums of all, 'Grace' (always to be found on greatest ever listings).
Sadly, fate was rounding on the younger Buckley and after extensive touring, he died around the same age as his Father, shortly before his second album could be completed, under mysterious circumstances.
That's literally just the bare bones - There's so much more to go into and you would tell it *amazingly*.
I didn't get a notification so I'm late to see this video, but so glad you are feeling in a good place and posting again. Fantastic video as always - you got right to the heart of the most important issues with this case. This was one of the most divisive mass news events ever. Divides within the USA fell along race lines, gender lines, lines between police supporters vs. people who resent police, lines between people who love celebrities unconditionally and those who always resent celebrities. As an old person, I can vouch you got it right, and you zeroed in on the most impotant parts of a story that could go on for hours.
During the criminal trial, the prosecution brought up the bloody shoe print and had witness that said OJ had owned a pair if shoes like that. But the shoes were not found and defence said he had never owned those shoes. After the criminal trial, OJ told reporters he would never wear such "ugly ass shoes." But in the wrongful death civil trial, as you said, the attorneys for Ron Goldman's family showed a photo of OJ wearing those shoes. It was a photo that had been in the press before the murders and wasn't hard to find. One of the many examples of how botched the investigation was.
The prosecutors spent the whole trial looking helpless and confused, while Cochran and the rest of the defense team were energized and confident.
Thank you again for your insightful work and I'm so glad you are doing well.
Topic idea: I'd love for you to talk about King Edward VIII and Wallace Simpson (the woman he abdicated the crown of England for) and their ties to Hitler. I watched a documentary recently that alluded to Edward being responsible for the Nazi's taking over Paris in WWII.
Yes. That would be a really good one.
Hey this is Yasho from India!! I’m sooo addicted to your videos. I’ve seen other channels like Bailey, Stephanie boo, drunk n history etc.. but girl your are the BEST! Your videos addict me so much. I like the way you add some clips from original documentaries and display the dates/ names of the characters. It makes us understand the story very clearly just like reading a book or watching a movie. And your way of explanation!!!! Ohewww you’re a 🌟Pls do more of make up and history videos❤️
Welcome back! Keep prioritizing your health. We will be here whenever it works for you to post.
Thanks for making this, Cyndnee. Growing up in a home with domestic violence, and having just gotten out of a toxic relationship, people need to know the warning signs. Rest in peace Nicole.
Love these deep dives (& all your content!) but know that we're still here for you if you want to do something lighter too. It definitely seems like this one laid heavy on you & I don't blame you at all! Anyway, glad to see you back. 😊 Take care of yourself ❤
I remember seeing that "car chase" on the news when I was in elementary school. It was crazy. Now being an adult and hearing/understanding the facts, I'm just so disgusted by this whole thing. smh
I’m glad your feeling better you were truly missed ❤️. Taking a break is a much needed thing to do in my life! I find myself shutting down quite a bit
Omg I literally just talked about her saying to my daughter happened to Cydnee I miss her videos and this video pop up. I'm happy to know that you're doing well.
Cyd is backkkkkkk!!!!!! So happy to see you again! I'm excited to watch this! Xoxo
RIP Chelsie Kryst
I remember the tension and divide this trial caused in the U.S. Im glad to hear that the families won't let up. I feel bad for the children the most.. I can't imagine how confusing it must have been for them.
I was wondering where you were!!!!! I’m glad that you are doing better. I’m also glad that you listened to yourself and sought out help 😘 I miss my history lessons annnnnddddd the beat 🥰🥰🥰🥰
His smiles sends chills up my spine.
Whether he confessed or not FORENSICS definitely proved he did it
🎶maKeUp aNd HiStOrY🎵
So glad you’re back!❤️
I'm envious of your story telling skills : D. And I know I'd never be able to get details right if I was also putting make up on while I talk lol. Either my face would get botched up or the story would.
Thank you for another fascinating video
Omg you’re back !!!! So nice to see you beautiful!
So late watching this video but June 12 is my birthday and literally in my baby book it says what was on the TV when you were in the hospital and my mom legit just wrote “OJ Simpson killed his wife.”
The story is so tragic and sad but the fact she just bluntly wrote that IN MY BABY BOOK has always cracked me up
It's been a while, nice to see you're back. Best wishes.
Hi there, love your videos. Glad you’re back. Unfortunately, you did get some of the details incorrect per the interviews from the ESPN OJ made in America. I highly recommend you watch that. It’s a documentary with interviews of policeman that were called to the couples home and friends
Happy to see you back! I grew up in LA during that time and remember the OJ trial taking over my afternoon cartoons, which was total BS. Just a few years earlier we had the Rodney King trial which resulted in the 1992 riots. I feel like that MAY have played a role in the jury’s decision. Just my opinion.
That and the black teenaged girl who was shot in the back of the head (walking away) in a Korean convienent/grocery store. The Korean woman who did it basically got away with it. It was a huge miscarriage of justice.
@@TheBOG3 actions have consequences and I am sure this was not the first time an African American person made trouble in that store. Sooner or later, people will snap. I guess that is acceptable when it is people if your persuasion.
@@PungiFungi you need to get informed about this case and stop making excuses for these people.
@@PungiFungi That’s a disgusting perspective. I don’t care how many people of a certain category have done something inappropriate, that doesn’t justify shooting somebody who hasn’t, and for that matter there’s no justification in shooting shoplifters- how is some stolen chips or soda worth a persons life?
@@lindseytallent2855 , stealing may not get one the death penalty but it may lead to deadly consequences. So being right is worth your life? Sure, the shooter is in the wrong, but YOU ARE DEAD. I guess it is worth it.
I've been watching your channel for about a year now. I enjoy the history and how accurate you are with the material that you present. I also enjoy the comedic relief that you give as well! I laughed so hard at the time machine in this episode because I wasn't expecting that 😆
It's so great to see you back. You look absolutely stunning!! I absolutely LOVE your videos and this one was particularly good. This one has bothered me since it happened. The trial was a joke and basically won on that stupid, " if the glove don't fit you must acquit." Nevermind the DNA evidence or the fact that the glove would shrink due to the time factor and liquid exposure. They let a murderer go.
Ahhh my beautiful Cydnee, how I have missed you. Glad you have a better handle on your mental health and praying that gets better and better. RUclips just isn't the same without you!♥
Welcome back we have truly missed you. I pray for your mental health and well-being. Take it a day at a time and just remember that it’s okay to feel down you just have to find a way to start over the next day
I remember the verdict. I was in science class in 7th grade and it was right before the 7th grade lunch (each grade had their own lunch period) My teacher let us out a few minutes early so we can go watch in the cafeteria. I do distinctly remember her saying “Who thinks OJ is innocent?” and the class cheered. It was definitely a racial aspect to the case then and even now. In the black community, most will say “Yea he did it, he just got away with it.” Yes, there is/has been a bias against black people in the US justice system, but this entire case was a giant fail and my heart breaks for Nicole and Ron; what happened them was absolutely disgusting and savage.
BTW OJ still don’t fux with black people.
non of the evidence pointed to OJ that's why he got off.media will control the weakest minds
Considering the terrorism the whyte community has done historically that is savage
thank you for sharing. I also share about my mental health struggles to break the stigma. Keep your head up and do what’s best for you. 🤗
I do the same 🥰🙃
So happy to have you back at it. You and Bailey Sarian are my favorite! 😍 I am old and don't really use Instagram so I was really sad when you stopped putting videos out. I am so happy that you're working on better mental health. Go you! ❤️
Hey Cyd, glad to see you but I understand why you took a break. Funny silly light-hearted comical makeup and histories would be nice stories that are heartfelt but not tragic or have a lighter ending. But most importantly doing videos that really matter to you and make you feel good. Keep yourself well ♥
Hi! New here - but I agree that mental health is important and taking breaks is necessary. I've been diagnosed with CPTSD and take two medications daily to help me. For the longest time I thought reaching out for help made me weak but now I can say it was the opposite. I felt safer suffering than I did about getting help. The unknown can be scary. No regrets now though and no shame.
Hey beautiful!!! Long time, no see. You were truly missed. I hope all is well with you, thank you for the come back.💞💫
At 11:52 the look of sheer DISGUST on your face is SO on point with that horrendous picture of Orenthal! (O.J)
- NOW that I know his Birthname isn't O.J - LOL
I absolutely love watching your channel Cyd!
You always make & keep the topics interesting & your makeup game is epic
It's always fun to learn more about History, Serial Killers & stuff like that in general.
Thank you for everything that you do Darlin'!
Yay, Cydnee!! Welcome back to your channel! Lol Happy to see you back and wishing you a happy, healthy new year!
So glad you took a break for you it's so important to prioritise your mental wellbeing.
Lovely to see you back here 🤗
I totally feel you about mental health I myself am crazy I call myself that and I’m a bit autistic and yes sometimes you need a break just know that you’re loved
Yaaayyy!! Youre back 🙏🙏🙏I enjoy the chill way you present these stories 2😃stay blessed
So happy that you now feel good enough to make another lovely and informative video!
Missed the singing and your way of telling historical events.
Good storytelling combined with beautiful artistry. I’m praying for you Cyndee! Thanks for this video it really brightened my day.
I love watching your videos when I do my makeup! Sitting there in front of my vanity while watching/hearinh you feels like a im hanging out with a best friend that is so funny and has the most interesting stories. I adore it! But please take all the time you need! Mental health should always be the first priority! Earth is so lucky to have a person like you in it. You make living here that much more amazing 🖤 from your unknown bestie, I love you! Keep up the great work!
The narcissistic abuser does get almost all the support. The secret is in leaving at the first red flag esp. cheating or violence and do not return. Going around him in the first place was a bad mistake. #greatvideos
Mental health coping skills in my toolbox:
-walks
-sunshine. Esp on the feet and legs
-smells like peppermint or citrus
-vibration & solfeggio frequencies
-art; makeup, painting, music
-"crying shifts"; give yourself 30m a day to express built up emotions
-tea and the steps to making it
-light an incense
-sit by water (river, ocean, lake etc)
-therapy
-medicine. Not for everyone, sure. But it changed my quality of life
-day trips or picnics somewhere in nature
-hot baths
-holding yourself like you'd hold someone you love. Tight squeezes, gentle rocking, kind words
I and so many others love your channel. There's something so special about you and it comes through on screen. Take gentle care 💜
Ahhh I’ve missed your brilliant stories 😍 looking forward to this one !
