32 years after Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, former lover Joseph Perrulli recalls the night O.J. was seen lurking in the bushes outside of her home<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
When Nicole confronted O.J., he said he “just happened to be driving by and wanted to make sure everything was okay”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
Though reticent to compare himself to Ron Goldman, who was murdered alongside Nicole, Perrulli says, “Ron Goldman could have been me, absolutely”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One evening, while leaving Nicole Brown Simpson\u2019s<\/a> home, shortly after they’d become romantically involved in 1992, Joseph Perrulli<\/a> had an eerie sense after he walked out of the door.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought I smelled her perfume,\u201d recalls Perrulli. \u201cIt was like she\u2019d been standing there. I got this strange sense, and in Brentwood at the time you never felt that. It was a tony neighborhood,\u00a0and so I got in my car and kept feeling the need to look over my shoulder. I remember looking in the rearview mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n Several weeks later, Nicole called him to say her neighbor had seen O.J. lurking in the bushes outside that night.<\/p>\n At the time, Nicole was newly separated from football great O.J. Simpson<\/a>, and she and Perrulli were falling deeply in love.<\/p>\n Nicole later confronted O.J. Says Perrulli, \u201cShe challenged him on coming to the house when she was there with someone. He said he just happened to be driving by and wanted to make sure everything was okay. He also said he really didn’t have a problem with me. He said he felt I was a gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n
