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 Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid.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
WOW.
So, it turns out that story told by Senator Katie Britt, on national TV, as part of the Republican party rebuttal to President Biden, was bullshit.
It was an awful story about sex trafficking, which DID happen, but not the way Britt told it.
She made it seem like it happened on the border, in the United States and while Biden was President, but it happened between 2004 and 2008, when George W. Bush was President.
And it happened IN MEXICO.
It is DESPICABLE for a sitting U.S. Senator to weaponize the pain experienced by a real survivor of sex trafficking, just to try to create a false narrative.
It's even WORSE that Britt was part of the team negotiating to pass the border security bill before she decided to shit on the very thing that would help prevent awful things like that from happening.
SHAME ON YOU, @SenKatieBritt.
.@sarahkateellis was forthright and moving at the same time on a very Big Stage. Great job! Thank you. Loved seeing the very distinguished @wcruz73 standing behind her, too. You made us proud.
Wow. President Biden just proved why there is absolutely no one better suited for the presidency right now & in 2024 than him. Strong, decisive, & committed to working with allies & defending Israel. President Biden is *the* leader of our lifetimes. Thank you, President Biden.
It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.

Lahaina Town on Maui is almost totally burnt to the ground. Firefighters are still trying to get the fires under control, and our first responders are in search and rescue mode. If you want to help, please do so here. Thank you. https://t.co/imol6Zr9mI
Greta Thunberg is 19 years old and single-handedly humiliated 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who is now arrested for human trafficking in Romania after trying to “clap back” at Greta. Never mess with Greta. An absolute legend and icon. The best of Gen Z.
I’ve been taking prison collect calls from family during the holidays for a long time. The cost per minute is outrageous and it’s a huge barrier that keeps families disconnected.
Jan 1st- In California they will be free thanks to a bill we passed last year.
