LOS ANGELES - O.J. Simpson marked the 10th anniversary of his ex-wife's death Thursday with a series of crass comments about Nicole Brown Simpson, her family and the accusers of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jackson.
His outbursts ranged from anger at his slain ex-wife for not being around to help with the kids to a flippant remark that Fred Goldman - whose son died next to Nicole - "got such opportunity from this with TV exposure."
The disgraced ex-football great also told Fox News Channel that he may get his own practical-jokes reality show - a takeoff on MTV's "Punk'd" that might be called "Juiced."
Simpson's comments reopened old wounds with Nicole's family and left Goldman furious.
"No one should give any credence to a lying . . . low-life like he is," Goldman said.
Some of Simpson's most inflammatory remarks defended Bryant and Jackson, saying both would win their cases. He said Bryant, who is accused of raping a 19-year-old after she came to his room at night, may be a victim of his NBA fame.
Many high-profile athletes "have found themselves in a situation like that before. I have, certainly, in my life," he told Fox's Greta Van Susteren.
Simpson made light of the rape allegation: "In my opinion, 'date rape' and 'stranger rape' are two different things entirely."
Simpson said he also doubts that Jackson, who often invited Simpson and his children to his Neverland Ranch in the 1990s, is a child molester.
He predicted that Jackson, whom he considers "asexual," will be acquitted because his accusers won't be believable.
Simpson, 56, also said that at times he is bitter at Nicole: "There are times I am angry at her. . . . There are things that she could (have been) doing with the kids better than I, you know?"
