Although she spent 13 years with O.J. Simpson, his now ex-girlfriend Christie Prody admits she’s afraid of the former NFL player/current convict. She’s hired lawyer Gloria Allred to represent her, which must mean she wants a little attention, too. Simpson is appealing his conviction on the legal equivalent of “I don’t like being behind bars and should get to do whatever I want without ever having a single consequence.” I’m not up to putting that in legalese. His lawyers are also claiming he should be let out of prison while he’s appealing his case. Naturally, so that he can chill at home, maybe eat a nice steak and watch some T.V. O.J. Simpson should never have to sit in a concrete cell because he kidnapped a guy, robbing and threatening him. Allred claims Prody is afraid that if Simpson’s let out, he’ll contact and/or harm her. This after thirteen years of her denying he killed his wife. NOW she gets that he’s someone to be afraid of.

One person who is hoping O.J. Simpson is not released from prison is the former gridiron star’s now ex-girlfriend Christie Prody, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Simpson was convicted last December on robbery, kidnapping and weapons charges and sentenced to nine-to-33 years in prison. His attorneys on Monday argued before the Nevada Supreme Court that he should be released pending his appeal.

“Christie would not want to see him released because she is concerned that he might try to see her,” Prody’s attorney Gloria Allred told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “She is concerned that he is dangerous and she fears for her safety.”

Prody was a fresh-faced 20-year-old Nicole Brown-lookalike when she met Simpson. Back then she told her family and friends she didn’t believe he’d murdered his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. Over their 13 years together, however, their relationship became increasingly violent, with numerous calls to 911 and allegations of drug and alcohol abuse.

A decision on Simpson’s request for bail could come at any time.

I tend to go back and forth in my ability to have empathy for Christie. I mean she dated O.J. Simpson for 13 years. That’s a lot of time to make a better decision. And obviously it makes sense for to be as afraid of a rage-filled killer when he’s your ex-boyfriend as when he’s your boyfriend. It just seems to me like she should have been afraid all along.

In related – and tacky – news, the story of the botched heist that landed Simpson in prison is being made into a movie, according to the Enquirer.

Coming to a theater near you – O.J. The Movie! The knuckleheads behind the botched Las Vegas robbery that ended up landing O.J. Simpson behind bars for up to 33 years are now going to be immortalized in a Hollywood movie.

A script for the film version of the book “Busted!” – ex-con Thomas Riccio’s account of the bungled 2007 Sin City heist – has been making the rounds at top Tinsletown agencies and studios, where it’s caught the eye of filmmakers Nick Cassavetes and Martin Scorsese, among others.

The Enquirer has obtained a copy – which casts the main players in a startling light. The story is Riccio’s take on what happened when the former Heisman Trophy winner and his henchmen stuck up memorabilia collectors Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong in their Las Vegas hotel room to get back O.J.’s items.

As crazy as it seems, the screwed-up “gang that couldn’t shoot straight” is going to be portrayed in the movie as a bunch of heroes.

Well that just makes me physically ill. Simpson won’t profit off it, but Riccio sure will. In fact he’s already made a good deal of money from that ill-fated night – the Enquirer also says that he’s earned at least $200,000 from a secret audiotape of the crime, and received a $350,000 advance on the book. He’s also portrayed as a “noble righter of wrongs,” instead of a true criminal, even though he’s got a lengthy rap sheet. This’ll probably make Simpson pretty infuriated too. Maybe more reason to keep him behind bars… just in case.

Would you ever date a man who famously, unjustly escaped being convicted of killing his wife? Would you continue to stay with this man even after he abused you for 12 years? Well, Christie Prody did. She was delusional enough to think O.J. Simpson was boyfriend material, even after his famous murder trial that revealed all the ugly details of his years of abuse of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown. Well, now Prody is revealing how O.J. abused her as well in a not-so-shocking tell-all book. And guess who’s not happy about it?

O.J. Simpson’s ex-girlfriend has penned a sensational book about her 12 years with the disgraced football great – disclosing a twisted life of drugs, sex, violence and betrayal.

In this steamy tell-all – to be published later this year – 33-year-old Christie Prody lays bare the couple’s private life, beginning with their meeting in Los Angeles in 1996 and ending with Simpson’s jailing for armed robbery and kidnapping last December.

“When O.J. heard Christie was writing the book, he went nuts!” an insider told the Enquirer.

“He was frantic trying to phone her. He wanted to control what she would say and even called her family members. But Christie isn’t pulling punches, and she’s not talking to O.J.”

Prody, who received a mega-bucks book deal, reveals that at the time the two met she was in denial over O.J.’s murder of his ex-wife. He later confessed to her that he killed Nicole Brown, but insisted that Nicole brought it on herself. Christie says 61-year-old Simpson preferred talking about his trial in bed nearly every night after having sex.

Christie fell in love with Simpson and had no fear for her own life.

“When she got pregnant two times in the first five years of their relationship, she had abortions,” disclosed an insider. “O.J. didn’t want any more kids, but he wouldn’t even drive Christie to an abortion clinic.”

The couple’s years together were fueled by booze and cocaine parties, and they even made a sex video. But there were also confrontations that pushed both to the edge, and the Miami police were called to Simpson’s home.

“During one fight, Christie pulled out O.J.’s pistol from a drawer in his nightstand and put it to her head,” disclosed the insider. “She was crying, threatening to pull the trigger.

“On another occasion, Christie kicked Simpson in the groin and dropped him to the floor in a hotel hallway. Police were called.

“O.J. often insulted Christie’s looks in front of his friends, and she would go off on a drug and booze binge to cope with the embarrassment.”

By 2008, Christie wanted to leave but was dug in too deep. “She still enjoyed living with a famous man. She enjoyed the attention,” said the insider.

What attention – the punches in the face? I guess if you’re delusional enough to get romantically involved with a known abuser and suspected killer, the kind of “attention” O.J. showers on you could be construed as positive.

Look, I have no love for O.J. but this woman is an idiot. I can’t see this book doing well. After all, nobody wanted anything to do with O.J.’s book. The public has decided that no one should profit from any aspect of O.J.’s life and that, to me, includes this stupid bimbo. I’m sorry that she had to endure this violence, but come on- did she really think she was going to get anything different than all the other women O.J.’s been with?

I’m old enough to remember the OJ Simpson double murder trial, in which photos of a bruised and battered Nicole Brown, OJ’s murdered ex wife, were presented as evidence. Brown put the pictures of herself along with her will and newspaper clippings about a 1989 beating she suffered at the hands of her husband in a safety deposit box “just in case.”

Now OJ’s longterm girlfriend, Christie Prody, has suffered a beating so severe that she was bleeding from her brain, with one police officer saying it was the worst case he’d ever seen. OJ’s explanation for Prody’s multiple injuries, including abrasions on her face and bruises all over her body, is that she was drunk and fell down. Prody tested negative for alcohol when she arrived at the hospital. She had been away for about a week and a half before she returned to OJ in Miami and was either beaten senseless or “fell down”

Prody suffered a severe head injury and massive bruises all over her body, sources told The ENQUIRER.

While O.J. says that Prody’s injuries are self-inflicted and explained that the 32-year-old woman went on a drunken binge and fell down, cops aren’t convinced, insiders say.

Investigators said from the damage to Prody’s body, they believe she was beaten. One detective said he has never seen such severe bruises on a woman before.

Police detectives are questioning Simpson at his home today, and are conducting an ongoing investigation into what happened to Prody.

Prody, 32, was rushed to a Baptist Memorial Hospital in Miami Feb 11 after she collapsed at a local gas station.

Police were alerted by hospital authorities after doctors found she was bleeding from her brain — and also had numerous large bruises and abrasions on her face, arms, legs and buttocks.

Prody had spent ten days with O.J.’s friends in San Antonio until she returned to Miami on Feb. 11. Simpson was with her until Feb. 4 when he returned to his Kendall home.

Simpson told police Prody’s wounds were self inflicted and that she had been on a drinking binge.

When Prody was brought into the hospital, there was no trace of alcohol in her blood, sources told The ENQUIRER.

Simpson has been free on bail in his conspiracy armed robbery case since about mid January despite stiffing his bail bondsman twice and violating the terms of his bail by contacting one of his co-defendants. Simpson and five men held up two sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas on September 16th of last year and OJ and two of his conspirators are awaiting trial. Three of the men have accepted plea bargains for their roles in the crime.

It makes you sick to your stomach to think that this guy committed such a heinous crime when he should have been in jail. He was let go under a month ago after being jailed for violating bail by contacting another defendant in his case. His bail bondsman turned him in when he failed to pay him a dime and then asked him to talk to one of his codefendants for him despite the fact that it was strictly prohibited. Prosecutors asked the judge to keep him in jail until his April 4 trial date, but she let him out with a warning.

At least this woman lived and hopefully she won’t have lasting injuries or any brain damage. I read the full manuscript of OJ’s “hypothetical” “If I Did It” book, which was available online shortly last year, and he seemed to be trying to justify double murder, if he really did it and all, and described how Nicole angered him by having candles and music playing when OJ stopped by. OJ caught Ron Goldman arriving with an envelope and accused him of delivering drugs. Ron vehemently denied that he was bringing drugs and showed OJ the sunglasses that Nicole had left at the restaurant where he works. According to the manuscript, OJ just happened to be there with a knife in his hand, and he had a friend with him, who is presumed to have been his accomplice. OJ never described the actual murders, just before when he was in a rage and after, when he was confused to find that he was covered in blood.

Maybe OJ will finally go away for a very long time now that he faces charges for armed robbery along with beating his girlfriend so severely that her brain bled. It may have taken 20 years, but at least OJ will finally spend some significant time, maybe even the rest of his life, in prison.

Update: TMZ says that they contacted police, who told them that OJ is not a suspect and that Prudy’s injuries are consistent with a bad fall she took at the gas station. And I was so ready to call him guilty of battering his girlfriend.

[Details from OJ's murder trial from CNN]

Proving that skankiness can transcend the generation gap, the mother of OJ Simpson’s creepily Nicole Brown lookalike girlfriend, Christie Prody, has resorted to informing the media that her daughter isn’t a big bag of herpes. And by that I mean she’s letting us all know that Prody is faithful in her love to the Juice. Supposedly, Prody slept with Simpson’s gardener, Janos Gonzalez, and OJ went apeshit. You know how some people just look smart? Prody isn’t one of them. But it’s a relatively small percentage of the female population that are so stupid that they’d be dumb enough to f&%# with OJ under any circumstances, especially romantic.

“The mother of O.J. Simpson’s girlfriend Christie Prody said her daughter is not the type of girl who fools around with the household help. Defending her 32-year-old daughter against reports that Simpson went ballistic when he learned that Prody supposedly had slept with his gardener, Cathy Bellmore, 54, told the Daily News, ‘No, that isn’t her. That’s not in her character. She’s never cheated on a boyfriend before.’ The gardener’s wife, Marlene Gonzalez, disagrees. She has said Simpson showed up at their Miami home on July 29, raving about how Prody and her husband, Janos Gonzalez, had had sex earlier that day. She said she gave the football great the brushoff, but when Simpson saw her husband, Simpson went into a rage and threatened to kill him. Police came to the home, but no charges were filed, she said.”

And how exactly did OJ meet this Nicole doppleganger? Apparently Prody was in L.A. And waved to Simpson. He walked up to the car and asked for her number. This was right after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Doesn’t that just give you goosebumps, butterflies, and heart palpitations all at once? According to Prody’s mother, Simpson is her second boyfriend. Ewww. Way to settle down with a winner.

“‘Christie was always a very shy, quiet girl. She gave me absolutely no trouble whatever,’ Bellmore said. Mom said it’s heartbreaking to see her daughter caught up in the latest Simpson melodrama. ‘She’s a great person who’s involved in a messy situation,’ said Bellmore. Asked why her daughter doesn’t split from Simpson, Bellmore said, ‘There’s reasons. I just can’t get into it.’ Asked if it was love that kept Prody tied to him, Bellmore said, ‘I don’t know what it is anymore.’”

[From the Daily News]

Boy those last two quotes really inspire confidence. Her own mother sounds like she’s slightly afraid for her daughter, but is still willing to hint that her daughter may not love Simpson. She doesn’t know what it is that keeps Prody tied to Simpson? Fear of a knife wedged into a major artery could be one.
