Former NFL running back, OJ Simpson has not been one of the most celebrated NFL players. The controversial former Bills and 49ers player has been in the news ever since his early days. His career dates back to the early 70s. However, his on-field performances echo on the pitch even today. Though his stupendous footballing career has been stained by multiple controversies over the years, his greatness in the game cannot be undermined. Simpson took to the ‘Full Send Podcast’ recently to reveal a secret about Donald Trump.

OJ Simpson has struggled with life off the pitch. Through the podcast, he took the opportunity to come clean and honest about his life. He also gave the NFL fans a little insight into his relationship with Donald Trump.

OJ Simpson has been popular beyond the football field too. He has also had his fair share of acting and has been a TV broadcaster. Donald Trump, the business tycoon, also expanded himself to acting and the TV world with his contacts.

In the episode, Simpson showed signs of frustration and refused to answer every time something about the controversies with his ex-wife was brought up. Apart from that, he was brutally honest throughout the episode. As he spilt some beans about his past, former US President Donald Trump came under the radar too. He said that they were familiarised because of New York and then their common taste in women. “We were around. Just around, you know, in New York. I lived in New York doing NFL Live and we kind of had the same tastes in ladies,” said OJ Simpson with a laugh.

As the host took further interest in the women they were around, he questioned OJ about their type. “Models. Models. Because he knew, you know, Eileen Ford. I knew Eileen Ford. We found ourselves at those types of events,” said a cheeky Simpson. Eileen Ford was an elitist American supermodel and only the stature of the former NFL star and Mr Trump could have made company for her. OJ Simpson finally concluded the conversation by saying they often played wingmen for each other.

It will be interesting to hear Donald Trump’s take on this. However, he will probably steer as away as possible from making any public comment on this situation given the kind of baggage Simpson has. As Trump reignites his fire for the presidency, he will want to stay far away from bad press.
