No, OJ Simpson did not admit on X to the 1994 killings of his ex
CLAIM: O.J. Simpson, the former football star and Hollywood actor, admitted on X before he died on Wednesday that he killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. The post was deleted by the family.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. An image of the alleged post was fabricated. The account that first posted it indicated in subsequent posts that it was a joke. A Feb. 11 post, in which Simpson says his “health is good” and that he is supporting the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, was his last. Simpson’s family made the final post on his account on Thursday to announce his death.
THE FACTS: Following his family’s announcement, social media users falsely claimed that Simpson had made a deathbed confession on X that he killed Brown and Goldman — crimes he was acquitted of in 1995.
“I just want ya’ll to know, I did that s–t. -OJ,” says an X post made to look as though it had come from Simpson’s account, which was shared in several posts stating: “BREAKING. OJ Simpson’s final tweet before dying. His family has since deleted it.”
