New 2-Night Docuseries Revives O.J. Simpson's 2006 Bronco Jokes

Q: What unprompted, alcohol-fueled remarks did O.J. Simpson make off-camera that left prank show crew members deeply disturbed?

Crew accounts and footage cited in *O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil* indicate that Simpson’s most disturbing off-camera remarks came when he had been drinking and began talking freely about the murders. According to people involved in *Juiced*, he would make unsolicited comments about the case, complain that people were obsessed with the “bloody Bronco,” insist the not-guilty verdict had always been expected, and most ominously say, “I know who did it” and “I know exactly who did it.” One behind-the-scenes clip highlighted in reporting captures him realizing the conversation was being recorded and saying, “We shouldn’t be talking about this on camera. You motherf---ers, be prepared. I know exactly who did it.” Crew members said those alcohol-fueled remarks were part of why the production became so unsettling: Simpson was not just joking publicly about the Bronco, but privately drifting back into the murder case in ways they found deeply inappropriate and alarming. Filmmaker Rebecca Halpern and several crew members said those moments reinforced their view that Simpson showed little decency and that the production had become ethically toxic. Some even believed the show had effectively turned into an attempt to capture incriminating or revealing statements from him on tape.

Investigation Discovery’s “O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil” premieres Sept. 7-8, resurfacing 2006 footage of O.J. Simpson joking that a white Bronco had “great escapability” and no “bodies” inside.
The clips came from Simpson’s hidden-camera comeback project “Juiced,” filmed as he tried to rebuild his image after his murder acquittal by turning the 1994 Bronco chase and killings into on-camera punchlines.
Filmmaker Rebecca Halpern said crew members were repeatedly stunned by Simpson’s remarks, including comments about Nicole Brown Simpson, women in pranks and rape culture, while some hoped filming might draw out a confession.
That comeback collapsed when distributors backed away amid backlash over murder jokes; “Juiced” ended up as a 2006 pay-per-view special and DVD release rather than a broader relaunch.
Simpson, acquitted in the 1994 murders but later found liable in civil court, died of prostate cancer in 2024 at age 76; the new series revisits how he tried and failed to reclaim public favor.
