"The Golf Bag Held The Murder Knife" – OJ Manager Mike Gilbert Exposes The Trial's Darkest Secrets
5/26/20261 hr 21 min
In this raw, behind-the-scenes interview, Mike Gilbert — OJ Simpson’s longtime manager, agent, and one of his closest friends for decades — reveals explosive details about the 1994 murders and the Trial of the Century. Gilbert discloses that OJ privately confessed to him, stating, “If she wouldn’t have opened the door with a knife, she’d still be alive,” and explains how heavy doses of Prozac transformed OJ’s personality in the weeks before the killings. He discusses the suspicious golf bag (believed to contain the knife and bloody evidence), the defense’s glove demonstration strategy, Bob Kardashian secretly feeding information to author Lawrence Schiller, and OJ’s emotional breakdown in jail. Gilbert also shares the devastating personal cost of standing by OJ and why he believes the murders would never have happened without the medication. This is one of the most intimate insider accounts from someone who was with OJ from the Bronco chase through the acquittal and beyond. Got a comment or question?

All right, you know I like to peel back the curtain and give you sort of the inside story because when you watch things on TV, you think that you know a lot more than you do. Um, naturally, I do too when I watch TV, but there's so much that goes on behind the scenes, and the O.J. Simpson trial is, has got such a huge story behind the scenes. It's just unbelievable. And this conversation that you're about to listen to is with Mike Gilbert. Who is Mike Gilbert? He was O.J.'s probably the closest person to O.J. back in 1994, in the days, in the years preceding, because he was his manager. He also stuck with him after he was acquitted and was friends with him for years, including up until the time of the armed robbery conviction. So he knows, he knows the inside scoop on O.J. Simpson. He's gonna tell you a secret that's gonna make your head spin. And, um, and many of you know, probably know me, think the first time you saw me was the O.J. Simpson trial, didn't they? Everyone says, "Is that how you got your start on TV?" Actually, it wasn't. It was another trial. It was the William Kennedy Smith trial, which was a couple years earlier, but that was such an explosive trial, and the whole world watched it. So, um, s- so people think, you know, they associate me with O.J. Simpson. By the way, can I clear something up? I never said he was innocent. I don't know why that's fixed in some people's brain. It's, like, stuck in it.
