New evidence has reportedly emerged of O.J. Simpson confessing to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, eight months after his death.
O.J. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 on Apr. 10. News of his death drew mixed reactions, given The Juice’s legal matters that overshadowed his Pro Football Hall of Fame career and Hollywood success.
In 1995, Simpson was controversially acquitted of the murders of ex-wife Nicole and her friend, Ronald. Millions around the world followed the highly-publicized trial, and Simpson was later found liable for their murders in a civil case.
O.J. Simpson always denied his involvement in the murders. But a new bombshell report from TMZ claims that police have discovered evidence of a murder confession from The Juice after searching a thumb drive from Iroc Avelli, Simpson’s former bodyguard:
“New twist in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman … police claim they have reason to believe they have a recording of O.J. Simpson confessing to the murders.
According to a new search warrant, obtained by TMZ, cops in Minnesota say they have a thumb drive they were told has a recording of O.J. admitting to the double murder of Nicole and Ron. What’s more, police say they’ve been told the recording also features O.J. implicating an unknown third party.
In the warrant, cops say they seized a backpack containing multiple thumb drives from a man named Iroc Avelli as part of an investigation in a separate case. Avelli is Simpson’s former bodyguard.”

According to the report, police in Bloomington, Minnesota were told by an LAPD detective to search Avelli’s backpack to find the taped confession. They received a search warrant from a judge to conduct a search:
“Our law enforcement sources say the thumb drive in question was tied up in ongoing litigation … with Avelli and his lawyer suing the Minnesota cops to get back all his seized items — however, in July, a judge denied a motion to return the belongings.
So, as it stands, the drive is in Bloomington PD’s custody, but we don’t know if they’ve dug into what’s on it … or whether they’ve shared any info with LAPD.”
We’ll just have to wait and see if police discover anything in the thumb drive, and if they’ll publicly release the findings. But it’s nonetheless an interesting tidbit to follow.
Simpson’s acquittal was controversial because of overwhelming DNA evidence tying him to the murders, as well as a disturbing history of domestic violence against Nicole. He was unable to account for his whereabouts at the time of the murders, but his “dream team” of lawyers managed to get him off the hook.
O.J. Simpson Wrote A Book About How He “Would Have” Conducted The Murders
Rather than fully maintain his innocence and avoid further publicity after his acquittal, Simpson wrote a book called, “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer” with Pablo Fenjves. In the book, Simpson talked about how he “would have” committed the murders if he “was” the culprit.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
