- Charlie Ehrlich says Joey Ippolito admitted involvement before his death.
- Joey Ippolito’s widow disputes the project and its sources.

## Summary

A new two-part Peacock documentary revisits the theory that O.J. Simpson had help in the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. During filming, Charlie Ehrlich, a friend of Simpson’s, was recorded saying that Joey Ippolito had admitted involvement shortly before his death, a claim that could renew attention on a disputed case.

Ehrlich attributed the account to Joey’s brother Lou, who allegedly told him about the admission during a trip to Italy a month before Joey died. The filmmakers say Lou shared the same story off camera; Joey Ippolito and Simpson are both dead, and Simpson was acquitted. Joey’s widow, Nicole Ippolito, calls the documentary misguided and its sources unreliable. The series’ release was moved forward to coincide with coverage of the theory in a New York Times article.
