The information of O.J.’s demise broke shortly earlier than The View aired on Thursday, April 11. After Whoopi Goldberg introduced it, co-host Sunny Hostin started her assertion by asking, “Can I just say, who doesn’t remember the trial of the century?”
“I mean, it was an 11-month-long trial. And the Bronco and I think it’s one of those questions: ‘Where were you at when O.J. was in that Bronco?’” Sunny continued. “I remember I was at Cafe Figueroa on a date with a guy named Paul … I also remember feeling a great sense of injustice happened. It’s one of the reasons why I became a prosecutor. Because I remember watching Chris Star, and I remember watching Marcia Clark. I remember watching the great, late Johnnie Cochran and just the masterful job that I thought everyone did, and I ended up becoming close to Kim Goldman. And I can tell you that even after … her brother, Ron was killed along with Nicole Simpson. And I remember how palpable even to this day that loss is.”
Sunny concluded by noting, “For me, the tragedy was the injustice: The criminal trial, the fact that he was not found guilty. He was found liable later, civilly.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin
The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on the information by saying, “My parents had [the broadcast coverage on O.J.] on wall to wall, it really was. It consumed so much of our public consciousness. I remember that and Princess Diana’s death just, like, ingrained in me. And to me, when some someone like this passes, really my only thought is I hope it gives some peace to the family of the victims. They did win the civil suit after the fact because I agree; I think it was a miscarriage of justice. But that doesn’t make up for it. So I hope that it helps them to find some peace.”

Caitlyn took to X (beforehand often called Twitter) to share one transient — but intense — message: “Good riddance #OJSimpson.”
Ron Goldman’s Father
Ron Goldman was the person who was stabbed and killed together with O.J’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown. Ron’s father, Fred, reacted by telling NBC News, “The only thing I have to say is it’s just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years. It’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”
