    It’s all a bit weird, but what else would you expect from an interview with O.J. Simpson?

    12 years since it was recorded, Fox aired O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession? on Sunday night, a two-hour special that the network has been promoting for weeks as a shocking, must-see interview that was recently “found”.

    Sure.

    During the interview, Simpson speaks to publisher Judith Regan about his book, “If I Did It”. He walks her through what might have happened on June 12, 1994, the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were killed, reports New York Post.

    But while it’s all “hypothetical”, it sounds much like a confession:

    In the sit-down, Simpson offered what he claims is a “hypothetical” explanation for the murders.

    He described, for instance, how a man named Charlie came along with him and helped him ditch the knife and his bloody clothes — because, “Somebody’s gotta get rid of the bloody clothes.”

    At one point in the interview, Simpson appeared to admit to dropping the infamous bloody glove that was found at the murder scene and later used during his trial to help acquit him.

    “I had no conscious memory of doing that, but obviously I must have, because they found a glove there,” Simpson said.

    Watch below:

    He also spoke about the infamous 911 call:

    So why was the interview shelved in the first place? Well, the scoop from the New York Times:

    In 2006, Ms. Regan employed the ghostwriter Pablo Fenjves to turn conversations with Mr. Simpson into “If I Did It.” It initially seemed like the latest coup for ReganBooks, a HarperCollins imprint that was renowned in the late ’90s and early ’00s for publishing hot-take political commentary and salacious celebrity memoirs, in addition to popular literature.

    But publicity surrounding the project was mostly terrible. The Goldman and Brown families made public statements against both the book and the interview, raising concerns about the prospect of anyone — Mr. Simpson, HarperCollins, Fox — making money off murder. As the uproar grew, both the print and TV versions of “If I Did It” were scrapped. Additionally, Ms. Regan was fired from her own imprint, for reasons said to be unrelated to the project. (She later sued and won, claiming to have been defamed during her dismissal.)

    Tsk tsk – so what do you think of the whole thing? These tweets might sum up your feelings:

    When will this ever end?
