Nicole Brown Simpson\u2019s former lover, Joseph Perrulli<\/a>, is speaking out about their romance, and he says that the Nicole he knew was much different than the one portrayed to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n In a new book entitled The Forgotten Briefcase, <\/em>Perrulli is sharing an inside look into the events leading up to Nicole\u2019s tragic murder. He wrote the book after finding an old briefcase in which he stored letters and mementos from their relationship for more three decades.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was far different than what had been portrayed \u2014 more spiritual and more down-to-earth \u2014 and I felt it was incumbent upon me to tell her story,\u201d he said of his motivation for writing the book.<\/p>\n Perrulli met Nicole in 1989 through her close, longtime friend, Kris Jenner. Jenner was formerly married to Robert Kardashian, who would later join O.J. Simpson\u2019s defense team after Nicole\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Perrulli, who is now 65 years old, was able to recall the day he first met Nicole vividly.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m right outside, kiddo. I\u2019m taking you to lunch,\u201d he recalls Jenner telling him over the phone. \u201cYou\u2019re meeting one of my best friends, Nicole Simpson. She\u2019s married to O.J. Simpso<\/a>n,\u201d Jenner later told him.<\/p>\n After Nicole and the former NFL star separated, Perrulli and Nicole began dating and eventually fell in love. Nevertheless, Perrulli still had concerns about Nicole\u2019s ex-husband, particularly after O.J. had supposedly been spotted hiding in the bushes outside of Nicole\u2019s home by a neighbor.<\/p>\n \u201cHe said he just happened to be driving by and wanted to make sure everything was okay,\u201d says Perrulli. \u201cHe also said he really didn\u2019t have a problem with me. He felt I was a gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n Perrulli questioned whether a future was truly possible for him and Nicole.<\/p>\n \u201cI was a man divided in two. One side of me was falling in love, and the other side was wondering if love was even possible with someone in a situation like hers,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n When Perrulli ultimately found out the horrific news of Nicole\u2019s death, he had no question about who was responsible.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought, \u2018Oh, he did it. He killed her,’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n <\/a> Hulk Hogan Opened Up About Suicidal Thoughts in Final Interview Before Death<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> O.J.
