The 15 Most Outrageous Quotes from Faye Resnick’s Nicole Brown Simpson Tell-All Book

Here are the 15 most outrageous quotes from Private Diary, Resnick’s most lasting contribution to the O.J. Simpson narrative.

  • “Nicole and I shared a dream. We wanted to stop being male-dependent, give up alcohol and drugs, and open up a Starbucks coffee house.” (p. 216)
  • As paraphrased in the show: “There's no good time or bad time to be hit with the shattering news that your best friend has just been murdered. But it’s brutal to hear it three days into cocaine treatment.” (p. 229)
  • From a chapter entitled “Bush Syndrome”: “Whenever Nicole and I were in her house, we’d always check to see if O.J. was hiding in the bushes. We’d look out the window when we were in the living room and say, ‘Is O.J. out there?’ Nicole had caught O.J. in the bushes spying on her more than once.” (p. 182)
  • In reference to ex-husband Paul Resnick: “He gasped when he saw the room bathed in the light of fifteen large candles. The Jacuzzi had rose petals scattered over the water. And I was sitting in it, reading Sigmund Freud.” (p. 196)
  • “It wasn’t until [Nicole’s] marriage to O.J. started falling apart that she began to rely on sex as both a weapon and an opiate.” (p. 201)
  • “The night Nicole and I were [sexually] together was unique. We had both been disillusioned and deeply hurt by men and had lost trust in everything but each other. We needed the warmth, closeness, and safety of each other’s arms. However, let me make it clear that neither Nicole nor I were or ever could be gay.” (p. 202)
  • “To the professional thieves-for-hire who stole personal journals and photographs from my home in the wake of the O.J. murders, I say: Attempts to intimidate me and silence me have only strengthened my resolve to write this book.” (Foreword)
  • Resnick accurately describes what would be one of the Simpson defense team’s tactics: “Word leaked to me via friends and reporters that O.J. and his lawyers had discussed floating the astounding and absolutely groundless claim that Nicole and I had borrowed money from Colombian drug dealers to open a Starbucks coffee shop, and that was why Nicole had been murdered!” (p. 3)
  • A description of Nicole’s casket prompts Resnick to recall Simpson’s flair for interior design: “Now it was less painful to look at Nicole’s casket. . .white-washed pinewood, Nicole’s favorite. Whenever she decorated any of her homes, white-washed pine was a strong accent.” (p.24)
  • On Nicole’s sexual appetite: “They’d have a big gathering at their house. She’d walk over to O.J. and say loudly, ‘Excuse us please—we’re going to the bedroom and fukk now.” (p. 35)
  • “It had been one of those evenings when O.J. hid in the bushes and spied on her. He’d been doing that almost from the first day of their separation . . . I tried to calm O.J. by saying it wasn’t going to look very good if people knew he was spying from the bushes.” (p. 47-48)
  • On the 1992 trip to Aspen where Resnick and Simpson met Kato Kaelin: “Donald Trump was there, doing his ‘look-at-me, I’m-bigger-than-life’ thing. We were all laughing because he’d dragged along this incredibly big-busted bimbo who apparently though runway modeling was akin to bumping and grinding in a strip show. Her antics were hysterical, but Donald was salivating.” (p. 73-74)
  • On the drug abuse that landed her in rehab: “Over the past couple of weeks I’d slipped back into tooting and smoking coke two or three times a day and mellowing the drug’s hard edge with Valium. Nicole never used the word ‘paranoid,’ but I know she thought I was overreacting.” (p. 209)
  • On the reason Nicole couldn’t resist having an affair with O.J.’s friend and NFL rival Marcus Allen: “Nicole stopped suddenly, bent down and picked up a chunk of driftwood. She held it out in front of her and said, ‘This is Marcus Allen.’ . . . ‘This is the size of Marcus Allen.’” (p. 102-103)
  • One of several depictions of O.J. Simpson’s drunken antics: “O.J. flung the door open and started vomiting, practically on the feet of bystanders. Incredible! This man could do no wrong in the eyes of the public. Here he was throwing up, and the fans were still shouting, ‘Juice.’” (p. 109)
