O.J. Simpson Slams Judge For Henry Ruggs’ Light Sentence

by

Former NFL wideout Henry Ruggs III was sentenced to 10 years in prison with parole eligibility after three years on August 9. The sentence came in relation to a 2020 car crash in which Ruggs III struck the vehicle of Tina Tintor at 156mph. Ruggs III and his girlfriend suffered minor injuries. However, Tintor and her dog were killed after her vehicle caught fire as a result of the crash. The 3-10 sentence came despite the sentencing judge calling it “one of the more tragic cases” they had presided over. It is believed the sentence was part of a plea arrangement.

However, one particularly famous voice has spoken up in protest of the sentence – O.J. Simpson. In 2008, in the same courthouse as Ruggs III, Simpson received a 33-year prison sentence for armed robbery. The former NFL star was granted parole eligibility after nine years served. Simpson had been arrested after executing an armed heist to steal pieces of his own memorabilia from a casino in Las Vegas. Simpson was arrested three days after the robbery. While Simpson was indeed paroled after nine years, he has taken issue with Ruggs III’s sentence.

Simpson Says “The Math Doesn’t Add Up”

Addressing his followers on X, Simpson lamented that the “math doesn’t add up” in Ruggs’ sentence. “I know I went to college on a football scholarship but somehow this math is not adding up to me. You’re driving a car at roughly 160 miles per hour on a public street and end up killing a girl and her dog and you get three to ten years?” Simpson began. “You go to a hotel room that you’re invited to retrieve your own personal stolen property, property I now have because it was ruled to be mine by the state of California, and you get nine to 33 years?”

Of course, there are differences between the Simpson and Ruggs cases. Ruggs pled guilty to his charges while Simpson was found guilty after a jury trial. Furthermore, justified or not, Simpson had the specter of his 1995 murder trial hanging over him. Many believe that Simpson’s sentence was so massive as it carried an unspoken punishment for the murders that Simpson was acquitted for 13 years prior.

Cam’ron Compares Scottie Pippen To OJ After Latest Larsa Pippen News

by

On June 21, it was reported that Scottie Pippen was about to lose half of his retirement fund. Documents obtained by The Blast revealed that on June 16, a judge ordered that Larsa Pippen be given half of her ex-husband’s accrued retirement fund from 1997 to 2016. It’s unknown how much money he will have to give up. However, it’s estimated to be a sizeable amount given he made $109 million from his NBA contracts alone.

Scottie is yet to make a statement about the settlement. However, the day after it was signed, he posted an image that read “You can’t spell a million with a couple L’s. Keep pushing.” to Instagram. Now that the memes about the situation have begun rolling in. Moreover, It Is What It Is host Cam’Ron couldn’t help but get in on the action.

Cam’Ron took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the Pippen situation. His post comprised the news image from No Jumper as well as an image of Pippen waiting at an airport luggage carousel. “Nah we gotta watch scotty he on a mission!! After having to give up half, he put on Black AF1’s?! (Tried to throw us off with the bubble gum bottom…nahhh homie) Spotted at the airport carousel? N-ggas better check that bag he getting. #Beware Scotty giving me #OJvibes,” Cam’Ron added as a caption.

It’s certainly a take. Now, of course, Cam’Ron (we hope) is just having a little bit of fun and running his mouth per his usual style. Pippen’s last post on Instagram showed him playing a basketball game on the SEGA Genesis alongside David Robinson. Meanwhile, many of the comments to Cam’Ron’s post express outrage that Larsa is getting such a big bag from the divorce. The redistribution of retirement funds is a very common practice in California, where the divorce was issued. It prevents one party from hiding their assets in said fund to protect them from the divorce settlement.

OJ Simpson On Khloé Kardashian’s Paternity: “The Rumour Ain’t True”

by

It’s no secret that Khloé Kardashian doesn’t exactly resemble her siblings. While they stand closer to five feet in height, she’s a whopping 5’10” and has bright green eyes that stand out in contrast to the dark brown ones on the rest of her family members. In the past, her genetics have long been a joke within the family – so much so, in fact, that she once took a paternity test on an episode of their OG reality series.

While matriarch Kris Jenner has maintained that her ex, Rob Kardashian, is the Good American founder’s father, others have been long convinced that it’s actually OJ Simpson. As you may remember, Khloé’s father was one of the accused murderer’s lawyers before his tragic death due to lung cancer.

Though talk of the mother of two’s paternity has died down lately (people are much more concerned with the ongoing paternity scandals of her own baby daddy), the 75-year-old has the internet talking once again after appearing on the Full Send Podcast.

“I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice. But, you know… I was — I was dating supermodels!” he said of gossip regarding him and the marketing mogul previously hooking up.

Simpson went on to say, “The rumour ain’t true. Nowhere even close to being true.” When the host teased him, “Some people think you might be Khloé Kardashian’s real dad,” he quickly made it known, “No… No, I’m not.”

As Radar Online notes, this isn’t the first time the controversial athlete has spoken about the gossip. “You know, Rob Kardashian, he was like a brother to me. He was a great guy,” he wrote on Twitter in 2019.

“He met and married Kris and they really had a terrific time together, when they were together. Unfortunately, that ended. But never — and I want to stress, never, in any shape or form — have I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.”

Elsewhere in his appearance on Full Send, allegations regarding Simpson’s involvement in his ex-wife’s murder were brought up. Naturally, he swiftly avoided them and let it be known that the past trauma isn’t something he’s willing to discuss.

OJ Simpson Refuses To Answer Questions About Nicole Brown Murder

by

OJ Simpson is certainly one of the most controversial former athletes in the world. Of course, this is because he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown, and her new lover Ron Goldman. Following a lengthy and contentious trial, OJ was found not guilty of the alleged crime.

All of these years later, the trial remains one of the most highly-debated legal proceedings of all time. Despite this, Simpson is still a free man, although he did go to jail for nine years thanks to an armed-robbery conviction. Regardless, Simpson is free, and the families of those who died are upset about his freedom.

OJ Simpson Speaks

For the most part, Simpson has been keeping a low profile. Sometimes, he makes some videos on Twitter, however, he mainly talks about football and politics. Recently, OJ Simpson actually agreed to be a guest on the Full Send Podcast. During this appearance, he got to speak on a wide range of topics.

Overall, the interview was going quite well up until the end. As you can see down below, OJ is asked about whether or not he’s mad that the true killer was never found. Clearly, the hosts were trying to bait OJ here, and it did not work as Simpson made it clear that he will not answer questions about the topic.

“Right now, I’m not going to discuss any of that, all right?” Simpson said. “I think that’s a pretty obvious question. But I’m not getting into that. I’m not going there.”

Asking this type of question was going to lead to a very obvious answer, however, they tried it anyway. OJ has never admitted to the murder, and it should be obvious that the Full Send Podcast wouldn’t be where he would choose to do it.
