“It took me many years to realize and face that hard, terrible truth,” she told “Good Morning America.” “Things he’s mentioned about Nicole, how she had it coming because of her lifestyle and who she hung out with, mainly Ron Goldman, I guess.”
Simpson was acquitted of the murders, but was slapped with a $33.5 million judgment in a wrongful death civil suit.
Prody, 34, also claims Simpson subjected her to constant physical and emotional abuse. She says Simpson threatened to kill her, an accusation he has denied. She said she tried to leave on several occasions.
“If I did he would find me,” Prody said. “[The] only place I had to go were to friends of ours. He would come by threaten, manipulate. I had no choice at that point. I had nowhere to go.”
Prody’s attorney Gloria Allred told “Good Morning America” that Prody was lucky she got out of the relationship alive.
“He had the power in the relationship. She was dependent on him her life was literally in danger,” he said. “What some women think is love can lead to a life and death situation.”
Simpson is currently serving jail time in Nevada for armed robbery and kidnapping but is appealing his case. His lawyer released a statement refuting Prody’s claims.
“The only person to get taken out of the house and handcuffed for domestic violence was Christie Prody. The only person who has been to drug rehab is Christie Prody. The facts are just inconsistent with what Christie is saying,” Yale Galanter said in a statement.
But Prody refuted that comment.
“The part where I was taken out of the house in handcuffs was absolutely untrue,” Prody said. “I’ve never been arrested for anything like that. But yes, I was in treatment, I checked myself into treatment after a couple years of being depressed and dealing with my depression in a way through substance abuse.”
