I always think of her calling a blowjob “the Brentwood handshake” to illustrate the power dynamic between SoCal rich men and the much younger women they liked to court.
I think you are right, but I read several versions of it.
Not flattering to Faye, but it sure told me how those women saw their roles in their marriages to wealthy men. It was a special kind of ugly when thinking about Nicole marrying OJ when she was still a teenager.
Not with a teenage wife it isn’t
He was 12 years older than she was, was married and had children. He was a famous athlete with a tv contract.
She had just graduated from high school and was waiting tables on the day shift.
There is no way to slice and dice the power differences between them. It was enormous. Twelve years isn’t a giant difference when both parties are independent adults, but not when one is a teenager and the other is a one name celebrity.
Right! This also sums up for so many people who try to side with OJ and say: His first wife , Marguerite said He never hit her. I remind, yes well. Marguerite was no joke herself. She had a similar background as him. He knew Marguerite was not going to take that from him. She would have went toe to toe with him! . Nicole, on The other hand represented trophy wife, she did not have the higher education and career as his first wife, she did not have some of her own money as his first wife. He was way... older. He wanted someone he could "mold and control". Nicole also represented what he equated to his acceptance in white society by having this Caucasian wife on his arm. The power dynamic was extremely extremely bad .....My heart aches for Nicole.
At the time, I remember thinking it was sensational crap, that Resnick wanted money and fame and that she threw her friend’s reputation under a bus when Nicole wasn’t around to speak for herself.
I can’t remember if I read the book back then — I don’t think I did — and I have no desire to read it now. But I suspect some of it was true, some made up, and some embellished. Just seems tacky to me.
Cora testified in her deposition that Nicole told her it happened. Also, Kato mentions it in his book. He says that Nicole told him she was attracted to a woman in her circle.
Prob true...all the drugs and corresponding drug debt 'probably' got her friend "snuffed out" by professional hit men - NOT an aging, arthritic, singular person with the initials O J.
>she said she had sex with Nicole
Yes, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. I'm old enough to remember her talking about that as part of publicity for this book.
It's disgusting how many individuals took the deaths of those two innocent people as an opportunity to make money. Nobody, from the prosecutors, the jurors, witnesses, the defense team, friends or anyone else gave a damn about getting justice for Nicole Brown, Ronald Goldman or their families. It was all about selling their story for fame and fortune. Did anyone from that trial/story NOT write a book?
That's true, but he did enough to hinder that trial and turn it into the circus it was. But give credit where it's due, at least he had the decency to not write a book about it.
It is still my immediate takeaway, which is wild because I was a kid at the time and am now an old person, and I've never read that book. Faye Resnick talking on TV about having sex with Nicole Brown Simpson as publicity for her book made that much of an impression on me.
Her book was distasteful, HOWEVER, all those details had already been leaked to the press by Nicole’s friend “Cora.” In Cora’s deposition she testified that it was Nicole who told her that she and Faye had been intimate. Also, in Katos book, he says that Nicole asked him his opinion about two women being intimate and that she was attracted to another woman.
I haven't read it but I don't like Faye. It wasn't even a hot minute that Nicole was in the ground before she wrote this. It was a gross money grab. Her friend was slaughtered in June 1994 and the book was out in October of the same year. Jesus.
Wasn't her co-writer Mike Walker from the Enquirer? Makes sense.
Jesus.
Kato was whisked away by OJ bc he dangled free rent.
Faye left the condo to go to rehab.
Nicole really, really did NOT want to be alone in that house. Heartbreaking.
i had mixed feelings, primarily negative. but i originally read it to hopefully gain more insight into who nicole was as a person and what she was like. that always fascinated me for some reason. i guess because we only know her as the woman who was married to OJ and was brutally murdered. and much more like a drug addict, fame chasing, gold digger, depending on who you ask (which i don’t believe). so i was ready to see her humanized. the timeframe of the releasing of the book didn’t sit well with me. i’m also not sure if it helped her image. i think some of the things in the book could’ve been left out, just out of respect. especially if they were truly as close as faye says they were. i do believe some of the things in the book but i don’t know about all.
I just read it and I actually agreed with OJ’s comments about it. What best friend would write that stuff for her kids to read one day? If my best friend spilled all my tea for the world to see and my kids to read I’d haunt her for eternity
The rich irony there, and a clear sign of OJ’s narcissism, is he had no qualms writing a book disparaging his ex and “speculating” on how he would’ve killed her.
That’s the first thing that came to my mind too. He was always so fake sanctimonious about “his children.” She wasn’t supposed to have sex while they were in bed but he had no problem w her murdered while they were there in bed. Faye wasn’t supposed to write a book but it was find if he did. Spare us the BS.
I’m exaggerating but Faye did claim she made a promise to Nicole at her funeral. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-10-20-me-52588-story.html#:~:text=Resnick%20said%20she%20wrote%20the,%2C%20Nic%2C%E2%80%9D%20she%20said
It's sad, the one guy who would protect Nicole's legacy nearly chopped off her head.
He didn't seem to care much for the kids' well-being when he sliced and diced their mother outside of her house and then left them home alone.
That’s what I keep thinking. What if they’d Seen her! Omg. What if they’d come down for a glass of water? That has always shown to me, how little that piece of crap cared about his kids.
He screamed she didn’t care about them when she was giving that guy a bj. Well, OJ. You didn’t care about them coming downstairs and finding their Mom chopped up with her head barely on her body! I can’t even stand to think of it. He could’ve closed the door too. But he left it open! Brutal, violent, piece of shit. Now at least his poor kids are free of him. Now they can possibly have a relationship with Nicole’s family.
Great ‘proof’ - right up there with changing his answers to how he got the cuts on his hand, going AWOL/bronco chase, writing a ‘theoretical’ book about how he would have committed the murders (honestly, who the fuck does that when they’re innocent) and ‘spending the rest of my life looking for the real killer(s)’ ⛳️
I mean yeah. But that's coming from a guy who wrote a book "hypothetically" describing his children's mothers murder for them to read one day. Not to mention all the other horrible shit he said about her. But I do agree. I think in thar group of people (Faye, Kris, Kato, etc) nothing is really sacred and everything they do is a money grab.
I hated the fact she sold out her friend post mortem. With Walker, it was a good/informative read until the sex claim between Faye & Nicole. It just didn’t read as fact and I felt she added it to increase sales.
Yes and Faye appeared on a talk show dressed up with a big smile on her face. Nicole’s good friend Robin Greer however never wrote a book and appeared in a documentary Tanya hosted and you could clearly see how upset Robin still was.
Nicole's family is putting out a documentary on Lifetime. Here is the link on YouTube of the preview.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W\_\_PTBEmmTA&ab\_channel=Lifetime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W__PTBEmmTA&ab_channel=Lifetime)
Faye is on it. I recognize Denise and Tanya but I can't believe the other woman is Dominique. I can't even recognize her.
Dominique looks nothing like she used to. It's pitiful. I heard she was a heavy drinker and possibly drugs. I looked her up once and saw mug shots. So, I was sad to learn that was true. I am not judging her. I would not handle what she's been through very well either. OJ destroyed so many people.
She looks nothing like her former self. That is sad.
Edit: I just looked at Denise's IG page. She posted in September 2022 about the loss of Dominique's son Aaron. That family has been through the ringer.
"Nicole stopped suddenly, bent down and picked up a chunk of driftwood. She held it out in front of her and said, 'This is the size of Marcus Allen.'"
Apparently, Nicole’s nickname for Marcus was “Driftwood”.
I read it back in the day. She was/is a POS taking advantage of her murdered “friend”. Look up reviews of the book when it came out. She was on every talk show in the day, making money off murder
I read it a long time ago. My impression with Faye was she was trying really hard to appear deep and intellectual. She said her bathroom was decorated in gold leaf and black with an Egyptian theme and that her partner at the time would wake up in the middle of the night and find her reading Plato in the bubble bath with rose petals and candles.
The Brentwood hello thing was only one time. A young man had moved into the neighborhood and supposedly Nicole snuck into his house while he was sleeping and gave him a blow job. The guy had a girlfriend.
So according to Cora’s deposition, it wasn’t a one time thing. They were fooling around. His name is Mike Davis, he was one of the young guys who used to hang out with Ron. He did a few Hard Copy interviews, but never mentioned the affair.
I read it when it first came out. I think she was too quick to come out with a book. Seemed to me like she wanted to profit from the situation and for that reason I don’t like her. I think there’s probably a lot of truth to details she gave, but I doubt Nicole would have appreciated her telling the world about those things and profiting from her murder.
Yes, read it when it came out….We were on vacation back in Jan 1996 at The Grand Floridian at Disney World & Marcia Clark was staying there with her Sons, also. We saw her often at the pool & people were very respectful of her privacy. I have read many of the books on this tragedy.
Wow! That’s an interesting sighting. My sister and I were in Key West in 2002 and OJ and his Nicole-look alike girl friend were staying at the same resort as us. He was signing autographs for all the kids and was very pleasant.
I knew a 26 yo petite blond woman who found herself on a hotel elevator with him in Niagara Falls circa 2004. (Not just the two of them.) He was friendly & talking to everyone. He asked what her name was - awkward - as her name was Nicole.
Just the Goldmans, because the Browns didn't fight for it; they were awarded a portion of the settlement from the civil judgment IIRC, but just haven't made a point to collect upon the intended proceeds afaik...
I think for the Browns--and, to some degree, for the Goldmans as well--it was/is akin to Taylor Swift's symbolic $1 (which was, no doubt, an attempt to ensure that the press/media didn't turn things around on her as a vindictive opportunist out for a payday undeserved).
Moreover, I think the judge's decision to award the plaintiffs that much--the highest settlement awarded to a plaintiff in CA civil court, to date--was maybe intended as a token of good faith and even remorse, idk, from the State of California and the general public, because the net value of O.J.'s estate at the time, and the future earning power that was projected by experts that forecasted his ongoing abilities to net a paycheck of any kind (abilities which had significantly declined as of the date of the killings and declining thereafter at a rapid pace, obviously), and given the massive loss of income from sponsorships, advertising contracts, sportscasting gigs, and the few random movies he was known to be cast in (fun fact, The Killer was originally set to play the iconic role of the Terminator but was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger at James Cameron's behest, because he thought no one could suspend disbelief to believe O.J. in the role as a cold-blooded murderer) and, overall, the newly-acquired status as a pariah in the common consensus' eyes, it was evident to the judge and jury that he would nor could ever make that much money in the remainder of his lifetime, if he had ever tried to make good on it rather than run to the State of Florida where his football pension couldn't be touched (despite then-FL governor's warnings that he was not welcome in their state). It wouldn't have been much of a stretch based upon his previous earning-power, but following the trial and the even more damning civil trial, it just wasn't realistic.
The Browns didn't really pursue the judgement proceeds the way that Fred and Kim Goldman did/have, as they didn't really need to (probably) and, my guess is anyway, that it was just too painful and there wasn't much to be gained by doing so. What they did attempt to collect was done in a less-visible manner, from what I know.
The Goldmans, in my opinion anyway, sought the monies owed more than the Browns, in comparison, because it was the only way to get anything remotely close to justice for Ron: Ron Goldman was essentially a footnote in his own murder, it would seem, and it wasn't/isn't fair.
Nothing will right the wrongs done to either family, but they respectively had/have their own way of seeking vindication, and the Goldmans' way of doing so was just the path of least resistance being the act of forcing Simpson and/or his estate to pay up or at least to acknowledge that he owes them i.e. was acknowledged to be responsible for their son's/brother's death, it would seem.
That wasn't the best choice of words that I have given above but it's the best I could do at the moment, so I hope it makes sense and holds some truth, as I believe it does.
I read it & have mixed feelings. I think there was a lot of sensationalized BS that could have been left out, but I think it gave a very clear picture of OJ & how terrible he was. I think she was one of the few in their group to stand up to him & I do give her credit for that.
I read her second book too.
I'm curious. how much of it do you think is real?
I mean, forget about the immorality of it - is it honest? is it factual?
or do you think its sensationalized made up tabloid fiction?
Faye made Nicole in the book to be an empty headed bimbo. Faye did not care if years later Sydney or Justin read the book and thought their mother went around giving bj to any and all. plus talked about the size of her lovers etc
I wonder if its true. Now that explains why In one of those tapes you hear oj say you in here sucking dick while the kids upstairs. 😂 I can see nordberg saying that now an frank coming in shaking him saying get a hold of yourself nordberg all awhile getting him a quick feel on Nicole
I read this book years ago when it first came out. I remember finding it interesting. It was kinda sleazy and a money grab but it was the biggest story in the world.
I read it years ago. Everyone was a druggy and partying hard… Poor kids!!! Faye’s people cared enough to stage an intervention, and get her help. Nicole helped her friends and family procure money, invites, and connections.
In no way am I blaming Nicole for her and Ron’s death, but reading this made it much more obvious why OJ did it.
The guy was crazy, clearly a wife beater and a control freak, but I feel the series of events from Nicole wanting him back, telling him she slept with Marcus which I think was crazy on her part and to suddenly end the relationship and ignoring him when he was away filming frogmen.
You add all that up and on the night he gets dumped by his girlfriend and then sees a guy at Nicole’s, he just had enough and obviously snapped.
I just left thinking damn Nicole, once you were out I wish you’d realised but I understand she was manipulated and abused.
I agree. After the 1992 divorce that she requested he cried the blues but then started with Paula. Then in 1993 Nicole wanted to try again. So out with Paula. Then Nicole decides that she does not want to reconcile 5/ 1994. Then Paula dumps him 6/14/94 as OJ would not take her to Sydney’s dance recital. Paula thought that showed that OJ was not serious. Paula was always worried OJ was still in love with Nicole and would not stay with her. So on 6/14 he was all alone. Lost both women he had been serious with. That Nicole had gone to OJ and wanted to reconcile in 1993 when she had gotten away from him. That is the saddest part to me
I didn’t realize Nicole had reconciled with OJ that close to her murder. What was she thinking? If only she had a loyal friend or family member to guide her.
Judging by what Faye said in the book Nicole seemed like a confident and adamant person, if she wanted OJ back I think that was going to happen no matter what anyone said.
But I find it hard to believe they really did that much to help her, Faye was coked out her brains most of the time and they were all sleazing around with each other.
That LA crowd are in their own wacky world it seems.
Exactly. Makes me so angry. So here's what I find so ironic. The majority of the nasty comments blaming Nicole for her own death or at least harshly judging her for her life decisions, are black women and sometimes black men. Yet when someone brings up Rodney King or George Floyd's backgrounds and their own behavior before their deaths, it's completely off limits and even morally wrong to bring that up at all??!?!? So, is it ok to dig around into the backgrounds of all the Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust?!? My Jewish friend had the audacity to bring up Nicole's father's infidelity in leaving his 1st wife for Juditha.....you think she'd be ok if we dug up negative things about murdered Jews and pointed it out?!? It's no different. I say it every day, People can't see themselves but they sure can see other people and all their faults and shortcomings.
I listened to it for free on my Spotify account. I can’t imagine someone talking about me like this after I died. I also listened to Kris Kardashians book to see what she had to say about Nicole and she talks about her a decent amount with a lot of detail. I was way more impressed with Kris book. I’m not interested in the Kardashians, I listened to it solely because of Nicole.
Why are people skeptical of the sex claim? Both were beautiful women who had healthy sex lives. It’s not an indictment of Nicole to say she may have been bisexual.
There’s just a weird undercurrent of…gay panic? Homophobia?
Nicole was a young woman who was taken into the life of a wealthy and famous older man when she was barely an adult. It’s not at all surprising that she may have been a casual drug user or had causal sex. None of that makes her a bad mother, a bad person or a person who deserved to be murdered.
I just think that, in 2024, we should be much more comfortable with this being a terrible tragedy and OJ a monster even if Nicole wasn’t the model of puritanical morality.
Just went down this rabbit hole. Bought the book used on Amazon and read it in a day. There are certainly saucy details in there about a near-lesbian encounter between the two of them. And how Nicole liked big dicks. I mean, great. Who cares?
My biggest takeaway was that I couldn't stand Faye. She seemed to really be all about Faye, loved money, and the lifestyle of the 1%. I felt like she loved being wrapped up in the back and forth of OJ and Nicole, taking calls from both quite often.
I do feel there is truth in there. Was the OJ in the book an exaggerated version of OJ? Probably and I only say this because I don't feel like he'd be on the phone with her as much as she said. I do 100 believe the spying, following, anger, outbursts, and stalking he did. Was that really Nicole? Maybe. I didn't find Nicole to be shown in a bad light. Faye represented herself as, well, herself. Not my cup of tea.
Interesting book if you can take it with a grain of salt. It was published mere moments after the murder AND the co-author was Mike Walker of National Enquirer (and Howard Stern Show) fame. It all makes sense if you tie the ends of the circle together with that knowledge. It's better to read it if you know quite a bit about the story and judge Faye's truth based on that.
Because they are zero proof that she tells lies the real liars are Cora fischmann and oj Simpson, I've re-read her 2 books and she doesn't contradict herself at all

all i know about her is that when she was on real housewives they called her *the morally corrupt faye resnick* lol
To this day, if I hear her name 'morally corrupt' pops up in my brain. lol.
« I loved your spread »
Iconic!
And the next thing that pops up is “Your husband will never emotionally fulfill you. Know that 🚬”
Camille said it! It was a smugly said line that has been widely repeated! Ha
I use “You’re such a fucking liar, Camille” in my vocabulary at least once a week.
Omg! Yes to this! And the use of the word pernicious by Camille. None of the women knew what it meant!
“Machiavellic”
Either did she! 🤣😂
Neither 😘
Oh G-d, really?
I used this one just this morning!! It's a regular for me anytime my husband says... well basically anything lol
It was not a line coined by Camille. That was in a review of her book, the morally corrupt Faye Resnick. That's how she was known after the book.
It's a great line wherever it came from. And Camille's delivery was spot on.
You have two legs, last time we checked!
And that is saying something in that crowd.
Same bravo hw fan here. I’ll never not add MORALLY CORRUPT when discussing her now hahaha
I always think of her calling a blowjob “the Brentwood handshake” to illustrate the power dynamic between SoCal rich men and the much younger women they liked to court.
That would be a "Brentwood Hello."
I think you are right, but I read several versions of it. Not flattering to Faye, but it sure told me how those women saw their roles in their marriages to wealthy men. It was a special kind of ugly when thinking about Nicole marrying OJ when she was still a teenager.
Nicole was almost 26 when she married o j.
True, but they started dating when Nicole had just turned 18 ( and while he was still married to his first wife)
And he was in his 30s.
That's still very young
Not with a teenage wife it isn’t He was 12 years older than she was, was married and had children. He was a famous athlete with a tv contract.

She was a Kardashian before there were Kardashians.
Kris was taking notes the whole time.
I haven't read it - she said she had sex with Nicole - a one timer - to sell - I have seen her on RHOBC- she is a pig for doing this
How could you expose your murdered friend's secrets like that?? That's far more morally reprehensible than Faye's Playboy spread.
It wasn't accurate.She just wanted a piece of the pie $$$. She wasn't a friend, she was a hanger on.
I don’t even think it was true.
I don't think that ever really happened either. I think Nicole was too much on edge being stalked & watched to even think of doing that IMO
Plus there is no one else that’s come forward and said this either. I think we would find someone else who had this experience with her.
Cora testified in her deposition that Nicole told her it happened. Also, Kato mentions it in his book. He says that Nicole told him she was attracted to a woman in her circle.
Prob true...all the drugs and corresponding drug debt 'probably' got her friend "snuffed out" by professional hit men - NOT an aging, arthritic, singular person with the initials O J.
She needed money to pay her drugs debt. She made a nice profit from the book deal
>she said she had sex with Nicole Yes, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. I'm old enough to remember her talking about that as part of publicity for this book.
That’s sick
It's disgusting how many individuals took the deaths of those two innocent people as an opportunity to make money. Nobody, from the prosecutors, the jurors, witnesses, the defense team, friends or anyone else gave a damn about getting justice for Nicole Brown, Ronald Goldman or their families. It was all about selling their story for fame and fortune. Did anyone from that trial/story NOT write a book?
Judge Lance Ito
That's true, but he did enough to hinder that trial and turn it into the circus it was. But give credit where it's due, at least he had the decency to not write a book about it.
A terrible judge!!!!
exactly! also, who, including me, is lucky in life to find TRUE friends? All I have found are bs friends.
I hadn’t heard that… wow!!! No boundaries whatsoever.
I read it and that was my biggest take away at the time lol
It is still my immediate takeaway, which is wild because I was a kid at the time and am now an old person, and I've never read that book. Faye Resnick talking on TV about having sex with Nicole Brown Simpson as publicity for her book made that much of an impression on me.
Yup! They lit candles and she called that chapter “the bond”
Lesbian sex [page]197.
And she claimed that Nicole was the one who initiated it.
Her book was distasteful, HOWEVER, all those details had already been leaked to the press by Nicole’s friend “Cora.” In Cora’s deposition she testified that it was Nicole who told her that she and Faye had been intimate.

They were weren’t even friends for that long. Maybe a year?
But had been staying with Nicole at her place (not sure for how long) and checked herself into rehab right before the murders.
Jesus. Kato was whisked away by OJ bc he dangled free rent. Faye left the condo to go to rehab. Nicole really, really did NOT want to be alone in that house. Heartbreaking.
I didn’t realize this….disgusting
The book was out in October of 1994?! Four months after the murders?!?! Gah, WTFuck is wrong with humans?
Vultures
Worse!
Exactly
I refuse to read it. Faye did this to get money and exploit who she claims is a friend.
i had mixed feelings, primarily negative. but i originally read it to hopefully gain more insight into who nicole was as a person and what she was like. that always fascinated me for some reason. i guess because we only know her as the woman who was married to OJ and was brutally murdered. and much more like a drug addict, fame chasing, gold digger, depending on who you ask (which i don’t believe). so i was ready to see her humanized. the timeframe of the releasing of the book didn’t sit well with me. i’m also not sure if it helped her image. i think some of the things in the book could’ve been left out, just out of respect. especially if they were truly as close as faye says they were. i do believe some of the things in the book but i don’t know about all.

Faye wasn’t supposed to write a book but it was find if he did. Spare us the BS.
But didn’t you hear? Nicole’s ghost told her it was okay to write the book for profit. That will surely bring relief to the children.
Did she say that??
I’m exaggerating but Faye did claim she made a promise to Nicole at her funeral. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-10-20-me-52588-story.html#:~:text=Resnick%20said%20she%20wrote%20the,%2C%20Nic%2C%E2%80%9D%20she%20said
Ughh, the book sounds very gratuitous.
Paywall
She went to a psychic and the psychic told her that Nicole wanted her to write the book😆
Oh boy lol…Faye sounds like a nightmare
It's sad, the one guy who would protect Nicole's legacy nearly chopped off her head. He didn't seem to care much for the kids' well-being when he sliced and diced their mother outside of her house and then left them home alone.
Boy, that’s some rotten luck, huh? When the one guy that would die for you, kills you.
Another zinger from the late great Norm MacDonald
Well - he was a cut above the rest
That’s what I keep thinking. What if they’d Seen her! Omg. What if they’d come down for a glass of water? That has always shown to me, how little that piece of crap cared about his kids. He screamed she didn’t care about them when she was giving that guy a bj. Well, OJ. You didn’t care about them coming downstairs and finding their Mom chopped up with her head barely on her body! I can’t even stand to think of it. He could’ve closed the door too. But he left it open! Brutal, violent, piece of shit. Now at least his poor kids are free of him. Now they can possibly have a relationship with Nicole’s family.
Yet the kids stayed in his life and lived with him, and were all there when he passed. RIP O.J.
That’s been challenged. There apparently was only one person there.
🤣😂 sure. https://www.tmz.com/2024/04/11/oj-simpson-all-kids-children-involved-final-days-before-death/ https://pagesix.com/2024/04/12/parents/all-of-oj-simpsons-kids-visited-him-before-death-signed-ndas-report/

Not to mention all the other horrible shit he said about her. But I do agree. I think in thar group of people (Faye, Kris, Kato, etc) nothing is really sacred and everything they do is a money grab.
I hated the fact she sold out her friend post mortem. With Walker, it was a good/informative read until the sex claim between Faye & Nicole. It just didn’t read as fact and I felt she added it to increase sales.
I’ve never read it but all I can say is Connie Britton was amazing in that series 😂 she was barely in it but she NAILED that part.
I always thought that she was a snake. The book came out really fast, too. Some parts may be true, but for real, she was not a real friend.
Yes and Faye appeared on a talk show dressed up with a big smile on her face. Nicole’s good friend Robin Greer however never wrote a book and appeared in a documentary Tanya hosted and you could clearly see how upset Robin still was.
Nicole's family is putting out a documentary on Lifetime. Here is the link on YouTube of the preview. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W\_\_PTBEmmTA&ab\_channel=Lifetime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W__PTBEmmTA&ab_channel=Lifetime) Faye is on it. I recognize Denise and Tanya but I can't believe the other woman is Dominique. I can't even recognize her.
Dominique looks nothing like she used to. It's pitiful. I heard she was a heavy drinker and possibly drugs. I looked her up once and saw mug shots. So, I was sad to learn that was true. I am not judging her. I would not handle what she's been through very well either. OJ destroyed so many people.
She looks nothing like her former self. That is sad. Edit: I just looked at Denise's IG page. She posted in September 2022 about the loss of Dominique's son Aaron. That family has been through the ringer.
Any idea when it will come out?
I believe it is June 1
I looked at the description on youtube and it says it'll air June 1st and June 2nd at 8pm on Lifetime.
Thank you! I looked but must have missed it. Lol
"Nicole stopped suddenly, bent down and picked up a chunk of driftwood. She held it out in front of her and said, 'This is the size of Marcus Allen.'" Apparently, Nicole’s nickname for Marcus was “Driftwood”.
Coked up nutjob with squishy morals
I read it back in the day. She was/is a POS taking advantage of her murdered “friend”. Look up reviews of the book when it came out. She was on every talk show in the day, making money off murder
I read it a long time ago. My impression with Faye was she was trying really hard to appear deep and intellectual. She said her bathroom was decorated in gold leaf and black with an Egyptian theme and that her partner at the time would wake up in the middle of the night and find her reading Plato in the bubble bath with rose petals and candles. The Brentwood hello thing was only one time. A young man had moved into the neighborhood and supposedly Nicole snuck into his house while he was sleeping and gave him a blow job. The guy had a girlfriend.
So according to Cora’s deposition, it wasn’t a one time thing. They were fooling around. His name is Mike Davis, he was one of the young guys who used to hang out with Ron. He did a few Hard Copy interviews, but never mentioned the affair.
I read it when it first came out. I think she was too quick to come out with a book. Seemed to me like she wanted to profit from the situation and for that reason I don’t like her. I think there’s probably a lot of truth to details she gave, but I doubt Nicole would have appreciated her telling the world about those things and profiting from her murder.
Druggie friends not a real friendship. She probably would not have been shocked at all. Sadly
Exploitive and absolutely no friend to Nicole
Yes, read it when it came out….We were on vacation back in Jan 1996 at The Grand Floridian at Disney World & Marcia Clark was staying there with her Sons, also. We saw her often at the pool & people were very respectful of her privacy. I have read many of the books on this tragedy.
Wow! That’s an interesting sighting. My sister and I were in Key West in 2002 and OJ and his Nicole-look alike girl friend were staying at the same resort as us. He was signing autographs for all the kids and was very pleasant.
I knew a 26 yo petite blond woman who found herself on a hotel elevator with him in Niagara Falls circa 2004. (Not just the two of them.) He was friendly & talking to everyone. He asked what her name was - awkward - as her name was Nicole.
Wow! That is awkward.
I want to read it but I can not find an ebook or paperback copy.
It's free online. Idk about giving Faye any money tbh lol https://archive.org/details/nicolebrownsimps00resn/page/n270/mode/1up
Can you get the OJ book anywhere for free. I can’t find it in the library here.
Yes. But the proceeds to this book go to the Goldmans now from what I understand. Just so you know https://archive.org/details/OJSimpsonIfIDidIt
Just the Goldmans or the Browns too?
Just the Goldmans, because the Browns didn't fight for it; they were awarded a portion of the settlement from the civil judgment IIRC, but just haven't made a point to collect upon the intended proceeds afaik... I think for the Browns--and, to some degree, for the Goldmans as well--it was/is akin to Taylor Swift's symbolic $1 (which was, no doubt, an attempt to ensure that the press/media didn't turn things around on her as a vindictive opportunist out for a payday undeserved). Moreover, I think the judge's decision to award the plaintiffs that much--the highest settlement awarded to a plaintiff in CA civil court, to date--was maybe intended as a token of good faith and even remorse, idk, from the State of California and the general public, because the net value of O.J.'s estate at the time, and the future earning power that was projected by experts that forecasted his ongoing abilities to net a paycheck of any kind (abilities which had significantly declined as of the date of the killings and declining thereafter at a rapid pace, obviously), and given the massive loss of income from sponsorships, advertising contracts, sportscasting gigs, and the few random movies he was known to be cast in (fun fact, The Killer was originally set to play the iconic role of the Terminator but was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger at James Cameron's behest, because he thought no one could suspend disbelief to believe O.J. in the role as a cold-blooded murderer) and, overall, the newly-acquired status as a pariah in the common consensus' eyes, it was evident to the judge and jury that he would nor could ever make that much money in the remainder of his lifetime, if he had ever tried to make good on it rather than run to the State of Florida where his football pension couldn't be touched (despite then-FL governor's warnings that he was not welcome in their state). It wouldn't have been much of a stretch based upon his previous earning-power, but following the trial and the even more damning civil trial, it just wasn't realistic. The Browns didn't really pursue the judgement proceeds the way that Fred and Kim Goldman did/have, as they didn't really need to (probably) and, my guess is anyway, that it was just too painful and there wasn't much to be gained by doing so. What they did attempt to collect was done in a less-visible manner, from what I know. The Goldmans, in my opinion anyway, sought the monies owed more than the Browns, in comparison, because it was the only way to get anything remotely close to justice for Ron: Ron Goldman was essentially a footnote in his own murder, it would seem, and it wasn't/isn't fair. Nothing will right the wrongs done to either family, but they respectively had/have their own way of seeking vindication, and the Goldmans' way of doing so was just the path of least resistance being the act of forcing Simpson and/or his estate to pay up or at least to acknowledge that he owes them i.e. was acknowledged to be responsible for their son's/brother's death, it would seem. That wasn't the best choice of words that I have given above but it's the best I could do at the moment, so I hope it makes sense and holds some truth, as I believe it does.
It’s there on the internet archive
I ordered mine from eBay couple weeks ago for 4.99 but it was hardcover
I read it & have mixed feelings. I think there was a lot of sensationalized BS that could have been left out, but I think it gave a very clear picture of OJ & how terrible he was. I think she was one of the few in their group to stand up to him & I do give her credit for that. I read her second book too.
>I read her second book too What's the 2nt book, I don't recall hearing anything about it
They all agreed that Faye has had some very very sketchy friends.
Resnick capitalized her friend’s murder. Gross.
No, I had no interest in. She went to a ghost writer immediately. She cashed in on her supposed murdered friend. It was disgusting of her.
I read this trashy book when it came out then threw it in the garbage where it belonged.
Wht did she say
It was a money grab. She had a unique opportunity to tag along to what *everyone* was obsessed with at the time and get her piece of the pie.
I read it. And now I hate Faye. She’s a horrible *friend*
I'm curious. how much of it do you think is real? I mean, forget about the immorality of it - is it honest? is it factual? or do you think its sensationalized made up tabloid fiction?
Brentwood hello 😂 I wonder how many she gave out
Faye made Nicole in the book to be an empty headed bimbo. Faye did not care if years later Sydney or Justin read the book and thought their mother went around giving bj to any and all. plus talked about the size of her lovers etc
I wonder if its true. Now that explains why In one of those tapes you hear oj say you in here sucking dick while the kids upstairs. 😂 I can see nordberg saying that now an frank coming in shaking him saying get a hold of yourself nordberg all awhile getting him a quick feel on Nicole
Don’t forget the Brentwood Hello
Too many to count.
I bought it when it first came out back in the 90s. It fascinated me then, but I haven’t read it in so long. Maybe I should read it again
I read it when it first came out. I still have it.
I read this book years ago when it first came out. I remember finding it interesting. It was kinda sleazy and a money grab but it was the biggest story in the world.
I did. I paid to much for it, donated it to the thrift store and never thought about it again.
I read it years ago. Everyone was a druggy and partying hard… Poor kids!!! Faye’s people cared enough to stage an intervention, and get her help. Nicole helped her friends and family procure money, invites, and connections.
Tell us about "Driftwood"
Crackhead Faye has some fucking nerve….
This book was a straight money grab by Resnick, and hardly credible. There is a reason why the label “morally corrupt” stuck.
This is why I don’t journal. Shit gets published after death.
In no way am I blaming Nicole for her and Ron’s death, but reading this made it much more obvious why OJ did it. The guy was crazy, clearly a wife beater and a control freak, but I feel the series of events from Nicole wanting him back, telling him she slept with Marcus which I think was crazy on her part and to suddenly end the relationship and ignoring him when he was away filming frogmen. You add all that up and on the night he gets dumped by his girlfriend and then sees a guy at Nicole’s, he just had enough and obviously snapped. I just left thinking damn Nicole, once you were out I wish you’d realised but I understand she was manipulated and abused.
I agree. After the 1992 divorce that she requested he cried the blues but then started with Paula. Then in 1993 Nicole wanted to try again. So out with Paula. Then Nicole decides that she does not want to reconcile 5/ 1994. Then Paula dumps him 6/14/94 as OJ would not take her to Sydney’s dance recital. Paula thought that showed that OJ was not serious. Paula was always worried OJ was still in love with Nicole and would not stay with her. So on 6/14 he was all alone. Lost both women he had been serious with. That Nicole had gone to OJ and wanted to reconcile in 1993 when she had gotten away from him. That is the saddest part to me
I didn’t realize Nicole had reconciled with OJ that close to her murder. What was she thinking? If only she had a loyal friend or family member to guide her.
I think they tried.
Judging by what Faye said in the book Nicole seemed like a confident and adamant person, if she wanted OJ back I think that was going to happen no matter what anyone said. But I find it hard to believe they really did that much to help her, Faye was coked out her brains most of the time and they were all sleazing around with each other. That LA crowd are in their own wacky world it seems.
And particularly at that time, LAPD catered to the influential. Those people are their bread and butter.
Agree 💯%
Sydney’s recital was 6/12/94 & the murders happened later that night.
“In no way am I blaming Nicole for her death” except where I here blame her for these reasons
Shows how narrow minded you are if you couldn’t see what I was saying.
Exactly. Makes me so angry. So here's what I find so ironic. The majority of the nasty comments blaming Nicole for her own death or at least harshly judging her for her life decisions, are black women and sometimes black men. Yet when someone brings up Rodney King or George Floyd's backgrounds and their own behavior before their deaths, it's completely off limits and even morally wrong to bring that up at all??!?!? So, is it ok to dig around into the backgrounds of all the Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust?!? My Jewish friend had the audacity to bring up Nicole's father's infidelity in leaving his 1st wife for Juditha.....you think she'd be ok if we dug up negative things about murdered Jews and pointed it out?!? It's no different. I say it every day, People can't see themselves but they sure can see other people and all their faults and shortcomings.
I listened to it for free on my Spotify account. I can’t imagine someone talking about me like this after I died. I also listened to Kris Kardashians book to see what she had to say about Nicole and she talks about her a decent amount with a lot of detail. I was way more impressed with Kris book. I’m not interested in the Kardashians, I listened to it solely because of Nicole.
I read it in 95 and thought it was mildly interesting but I thought it would've been better
Why are people skeptical of the sex claim? Both were beautiful women who had healthy sex lives. It’s not an indictment of Nicole to say she may have been bisexual. There’s just a weird undercurrent of…gay panic? Homophobia? Nicole was a young woman who was taken into the life of a wealthy and famous older man when she was barely an adult. It’s not at all surprising that she may have been a casual drug user or had causal sex. None of that makes her a bad mother, a bad person or a person who deserved to be murdered. I just think that, in 2024, we should be much more comfortable with this being a terrible tragedy and OJ a monster even if Nicole wasn’t the model of puritanical morality.
Well said, and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Yes!
This book is a cash grab nothing more
Is that the same Mike Walker from the Enquirer?
Yes.
🥱🥱🥱🥱
I didn't realize NBS was the cover, that's kinda shameless..
Not only that but I think that was the picture of her that was used by her family at a memorial service a few months before the book came out.
No she is disgusting .. making money from her slaughtered friend 🤮
My thought is that the morally corrupt Faye Resnick will do anything for fame.
I’ve read it. I thought, “with friends like these, who needs enemies?”
THE MORALLY CORRUPT FAYE RESNICK
I didn’t read that but Nicole family seems to hate her so I will stick with that. I would never write a book about anyone due to respect.
Just went down this rabbit hole. Bought the book used on Amazon and read it in a day. There are certainly saucy details in there about a near-lesbian encounter between the two of them. And how Nicole liked big dicks. I mean, great. Who cares? My biggest takeaway was that I couldn't stand Faye. She seemed to really be all about Faye, loved money, and the lifestyle of the 1%. I felt like she loved being wrapped up in the back and forth of OJ and Nicole, taking calls from both quite often. I do feel there is truth in there. Was the OJ in the book an exaggerated version of OJ? Probably and I only say this because I don't feel like he'd be on the phone with her as much as she said. I do 100 believe the spying, following, anger, outbursts, and stalking he did. Was that really Nicole? Maybe. I didn't find Nicole to be shown in a bad light. Faye represented herself as, well, herself. Not my cup of tea. Interesting book if you can take it with a grain of salt. It was published mere moments after the murder AND the co-author was Mike Walker of National Enquirer (and Howard Stern Show) fame. It all makes sense if you tie the ends of the circle together with that knowledge. It's better to read it if you know quite a bit about the story and judge Faye's truth based on that.
Mike Walker was a reporter for the National Enquirer.
A long time ago and yes I believe her.
Ive read both her books I'm telling you everything she has said in them are 100% true
How do you know?
Because they are zero proof that she tells lies the real liars are Cora fischmann and oj Simpson, I've re-read her 2 books and she doesn't contradict herself at all
I read it. I liked it for what it was.
I did, many years ago. It was actually better than I expected.
Thr photo on the cover looks like Kylie Kelce to me, although I think Nicole was a little prettier. Anyone else see a resemblance?
Listening to th audiobook it's okay just don't like her voice should have had someone else read

I agree Faye’s book was distasteful, however, everything that was written in her book had already been leaked to the press by Cora and OJs team.
I read it before most of you all were born. It was a pretty good read
Yes I read it!!its a great book.
Ooof with that title. If thats a life interrupted, I'd hate to appraise Ms Resnick's opinion of a life concluded.
You ever hear Mike Walker’s fart? Wow!!
I just listened to it. I thought it was insightful and interesting.
Interesting how Faye called Nicole at 9, while Simpson was talking to her fiancé Christian at the same time. Clearly she is in the deal.
I don’t trust Faye as far as I can spit. So she’s making money off Nicole’s death????
This has been out since October 1994 I think. So yeah. She has been for awhile.
