I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative assistant to the President of Student Affairs that semester in the work/study program. In early 1995, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian (USC Alumni) walked up to my desk and said they had an appt with my boss. I was studying to be a criminal defense lawyer with a dual major in PoliSci and International Relations so I knew who they were. The meeting lasted about 30 mins. After they left I looked at my boss like wtf was that all about!? He walked me outside and we sat by the old sprawling big tree outside Topping and my boss lit a cigarette for the first time in years and told me I had to sign an NDA because I could confirm OJ's lawyers were there for a meeting. Then he told me what the meeting was about. Before OJ could graduate from USC, the university paid off two families of two blonde white girls that he had dated and battered. They had both gone to the LAPD to report it. One claimed he also sexually assaulted her in their relationship. The school had a vested interest in OJ going far in football and protected him at all costs. OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ's friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day. So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I'll never forget holding that check. Now, did you hear about this before now? Nope. That's how much power money enables. After he was acquitted I changed my major to Philosophy/Psychology double major. I understood that I could harm society more than not if I pursued law. This is also why I abhor the Kardashians. They're rich thugs. Nothing more. #OJISDEAD
@mouvement33 Why was the President of Student Affairs handling this coverup transaction?
That I do not know. To me as a student...it was student affairs. I had/have no clue how a private institution like USC runs itself, let alone handles something of this magnitude internally. But I do know they are able to do this type of thing because they are private and have limitless money.
@mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV Not a surprise at all. Btw your NDA was illegal, if OJ battered those girls it was a criminal act& the NDA cannot be enforced. You cannot use an NDA to cover up a crime. He could have taken the check, then reported Kardashian to the judge , he would then be disbarred.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV She wasn’t NDA’d as a witness to a crime, but a witness to a meeting. The meeting is what she couldn’t disclose, or the purpose of the meeting which she learned after signing the NDA.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV Makes you wonder if the real reason she switched majors might have been that she was failing or not grasping the course material. Any law major should have an understanding of how NDAs work and what's legal.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV Let alone an NDA without apparent consideration.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV The PoSA could’ve but then that opens the can of USC being involved.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV My thoughts exactly. That NDA couldn't have been binding. As a student, @mouvement33 probably didn't realize that. I'd bet fear of retaliation played a part in signing and adhering to it.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV The OPs NDA covered the fact that there had been a meeting from the sounds of it (vs a that there had been a payoff)
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV Helluva risk for Kardashian, such actions potentially witness tampering.
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV Unless the evidence was unavailable because $$$$
@njwoman2be @mouvement33 @TreesB59ABV The NDA was about the lawyers showing up. Not about details or anything technically involving the crime. It wasn't illegal
