Community Service A friend told the Washington Post that the couple fought continuously and the cops frequently had to break it up the friend told the outlet he had a ferocious temper the physical

Nicole to drop out of Saddleback College so she could live with him effectively cutting her off from pursuing a career an unnamed friend told the Washington Post I don't think she had that great a sense of selfworth she wasn't that well educated she didn't have any particular job skills she was too old to be a model and she was trapped he always used money to force her to do what he wanted friends had also noticed that Brown Simpson acted very differently when OJ was around one told the Washington Post she would tense up she watched every move she made made and every step she took she was aware of his reactions to everything when he wasn't around she was a direct smart person but when he was around she was scared to death of him by 1992 Nicole had had enough the ex-model left OJ Simpson and fled to Aspen with her two children where she met a man named Keith lamso lamso recalled to the Palm Beach Post I didn't know who she was but we hung out the whole weekend and a friend came over to me and said what are you doing with Juice's wife the two grew close and Nicole even confided in Loma witch about Simpson's abusive Behavior after they returned to Los Angeles Nicole and Loma witch dated but Simpson kept intruding on them Loma witch told the newspaper that Simpson spied on him and Nicole through a window as they were making love the former NFL star even kicked down
