Fred Goldman is bitter The Juice survived his alleged bout with COVID-19.
Speaking to the Daily News on Friday, the still-grieving dad of murder victim Ron Goldman said O.J. Simpson’s claims in a new interview that he nearly died from COVID last year left him with one overriding emotion — disappointment.
“Out of all the people who’ve passed away from COVID, what a shame he wasn’t one of them,” Goldman said in a phone interview.
“I certainly don’t’ think he deserves any sympathy. He’s alive, he’s free. He can do anything he wants. Everything my son can’t do, out of all the things he wished for,” he said.
Goldman’s comments followed after The Athletic published a piece Friday in which Simpson claimed his COVID scare caused him to really consider his own death for the first time.
“When I had COVID, I almost couldn’t get out of bed…I made it to my balcony, trying to breathe. I couldn’t catch my breath,” Simpson, who was acquitted of the vicious 1994 stabbing murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1995, said.
“I felt vulnerable and for the first time thought I might be near the end. Since that day, I have wondered. Do I want to be buried? Do I want to be cremated? Years ago, I would have left it up to Nicole because I know she would have done the right thing,” Simpson told The Athletic.
“Honestly, the only thing that strikes a chord with me is that he didn’t think about death before. I think about his death all the time. I can think of no one better suited to be underground,” Goldman, 80, told The News.
In the new Athletic profile, Simpson boasted that he leads an enviable life while on parole for the armed memorabilia heisted that landed him in a Nevada prison for nine years.
“Yes he’s got an enviable situation,” Fred Goldman agreed. “He got away with murder.”
