OJ Simpson jokes about bloody Bronco, boasts of its great escapability in disturbing resurfaced video

O.J. Simpson turned one of the most infamous moments of his life into a punchline.


Years after the fallen football star and Hollywood actor was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife and her friend, Simpson was caught on camera joking about a "bloody Bronco" and boasting about the vehicles "great escapability" — video that has now resurfaced decades later.


The moments were captured while Simpson filmed his hidden-camera prank show, "Juiced," in an attempt at a comeback. Simpsons little-remembered project, which he described as his "own version of 'Punkd,'" is the subject of a new Investigation Discovery docuseries, "O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil."

Simpson faced repeated allegations of domestic violence involving Nicole Brown Simpson. He pleaded to a charge of spousal battery against her in 1989.


"O.J. was a malignant narcissist and megalomaniac who thought he could get away with anything — thats what doing [this docuseries] showed me," filmmaker Rebecca Halpern told Fox News Digital.


"O.J. insisted on having a beer in his hand for virtually the entire production, and loose lips sink ships. And there are many scenes in the show where O.J. just starts to blather on about the case. Nobody prompted him to tell a shopper on a used car lot that a white Bronco has great escapability and if you do something bad, it can get you out of trouble."

In a scene , which premieres Sept. 7, Simpson pretends to sell a white Bronco at a used car lot, where he boasts about making the car famous. The Bronco appears to have a bullet hole in it.


"It was good for me," Simpson tells a prospective buyer. "Got me out of harms way."


When another customer jokes about whether there is "a dead body inside," Simpson replies, "Yeah, well, hopefully theres no bodies in this thing." He also tells two other shoppers, "Its a Bronco, a car that I personally made famous."


"This is the best deal we got on the lot," he tells another. "It has escapability, thats the main thing. I mean, if you ever get into some trouble and you gotta get away, it has escapability. ... I like that word, escapability. ... They werent going to let me keep mine."


When customers realize they are being filmed for the hidden-camera prank, some laugh, shake Simpsons hand or embrace him. At one point, he autographs the Bronco.


"This is a Bronco signed by O.J. Simpson," he says. "With an authentic bullet hole in it. Its signed by me, which gives it some kind of extra value."



"I wasnt trying to escape, despite what anybody might tell you. No, thats the Gods truth. Thats why they never brought the Bronco ride up in any of my trials," Simpson said.


"Just take a look around. All you have to do is wash it up."


Simpson and Brown married in 1985. They had two children, Sydney and Justin, and . Two years later, Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman were found stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home.


Investigators quickly focused on Simpson, leading to a slow-speed chase in a white Bronco that aired live on national television. Following the "Trial of the Century," he was acquitted of murder.


Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a separate civil case and served nearly nine years in prison after he was convicted of armed robbery and other charges in an unrelated Las Vegas case.


Halpern said Simpson "demonstrated such a complete and total lack of any decency" while discussing his case during filming.



"He was so desperate for a comeback, to prove to the world that he was still this beloved figure, that he was willing to
