Hang The O.j.

Recently, on June 12, 1994, O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson was stabbed to death in the stony Los Angeles enclave of Brentwood, California, along with 25-year-old waiter Ronald Goldman.

Vice: People portray you as a loafer. As a houseboy. As a man willing to invite himself on a burger run with one of the greatest players in NFL history and not even possess the decency to steer the guy to In-N-Out instead of McDonald’s.

Kato Kaelin:

You did commercials in the 1980s, right?

Beach Fever

And as the 1980s were unfolding, you also got married and had a kid? No one talks about that.

Maybe it was your pure midwestern youth. You grew up near Milwaukee and then went to a university in a small city in Wisconsin. When and why would you leave placid Eau Claire, Wisconsin?

But I heard you moved to California thinking you might play baseball?

No

What were the circumstances that led you to meeting O.J. Simpson?

General Hospital

Ed—That would be

So, a typical day in your life pre-June 12 wasn’t spent sponging off O.J. or hanging out with him all day?

Did you guys have any heart-to-heart chats in those six months, or did your relationship stay superficial?

What was a night out like for you before the murder?

LA antics. Is O.J. sort of rudderless?

Did he charge you rent?

On the night of the murder, you tagged along with O.J. to McDonald’s… you couldn’t get him to go to In-N-Out or anything?

How close together were the houses?

When you lived with O.J. would you still hang out with Nicole?

Did you find a new place to live after the murders?

Do you get stalked?

Like fistfight?

Talk Radio

A reality television show?

The Phil Spector part sounds cool. He seems pretty low-key. Any groupies?

Do you take advantage of that?

Do you think your opinion of O.J.’s guilt or innocence may change from what it is today?

Since you know the guy, you kind of don’t want to have that opinion right now?

It must be strange even suspecting that someone you were sort of close to is capable of something like this.

Growing up in Wisconsin, with the exception of Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer, you didn’t know people like this.

What do you see yourself doing in the future?

And as the years roll on, what perspective do you think you might get on the trial? What’s one thing you think will stick out to you?

That’s fair enough, thanks.
