Oprah’s people deny report that O.J. has confessed to murder

It has been said that The National Enquirer has reported that O.J. Simpson is going to confess the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown on a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey.

After leaving her series after 25 years, this could be the largest interview in her career.

O.J. Simpson is currently serving a 9 year sentence for the kidnapping and robbery that occurerd in 2007.


“It’s not true,” a Harpo spokesperson said in an email to the Star.

The reports began surfacing online Thursday and were attributed to the National Enquirer, which quoted a Harpo source as saying Simpson had already confessed to a producer of Winfrey’s. The source reportedly told the Enquirer he stabbed his ex-wife in self-defence.

Last week, Winfrey said she has “a dream of O.J. Simpson confessing to me.”

Winfrey said she would only interview the ex-football player, who is serving time for armed robbery and kidnapping, if he confessed to the 1994 crime.

“I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson,” Winfrey said. “And I am going to make that happen, people.”

Winfrey ended her talk show last month after 25 years. Her new show, Oprah’s Next Chapter, will launch on her OWN network in January.

If Simpson were to confess, he would be unlikely to face any criminal charges under the double-jeopardy rule. Simpson was found not guilty in a criminal court in 1995; in 1997 he was found liable for wrongful death in civil court.

Brown and Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death outside Brown’s Los Angeles home in 1994.
