“She doesn’t understand that her story could help someone else–When I was with her, I got friends in the industry I tried to set her up with, and she said fame is a scary thing. It’s so real to tell your side of the story. Everybody contacts her to speak out,–She could be an inspiration to so many people, but she’s scared. She doesn’t understand. Hopefully, one day she will.”

But Sydney Brooke doesn’t think her father did it, in the same Radar Online conversation, the ex-boyfriend revealed,

“[In private]She talked about the murders, of course. Of course she talked about it. The way she feels, she doesn’t feel like he did it. They speculate that it was a drug deal gone bad,–May she rest in peace, but Nicole’s throat was cut like a Colombian necktie. Sydney doesn’t believe O.J. did it, but she doesn’t know what to believe. The media changes, and how the police changed the whole situation… Either way, her mother died.”
