Keith Zlomsowitch on Stalked: Nicole Brown Simpson, O.J. Simpson, & the Untold Story of the Murders

Keith Zlomsowitch joins The Tom Gulley Show to discuss Stalked, his firsthand account of the relationship he had with Nicole Brown Simpson and the stalking and intimidation he says both of them endured from O.J. Simpson while they were dating.

Zlomsowitch recounts meeting Nicole, their love affair and eventual friendship, and the growing tension he describes as surveillance, threats, and intrusion into their private lives. He details discovering that O.J. had allegedly been watching them during an intimate moment, describes incidents of harassment, and revisits the night at Nicole’s Gretna Green residence that he believes could have turned fatal.

A 911 report was issued to Zlomsowitch during the period of escalating conflict—an event he identifies as a critical moment in the timeline leading up to the murders.

The discussion revisits June 12, 1994, the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the shock of the news, and the national spectacle that followed, including the televised O.J. Simpson Bronco chase and the criminal trial that culminated in the October 3 verdict.

Zlomsowitch reflects on:
– The decision to publish Stalked decades later
– Allegations of stalking and psychological intimidation
– The distortion of Nicole’s address book and destruction of photographs
– His expected involvement in the trial
– Survivor’s guilt and the realization that he believes it could have been him
– Life in the decades since and the lasting emotional impact
– Paying tribute to Nicole and offering the farewell he believes she never received

Additional stories from his years in Hollywood—including working for Jack Nicholson and Don Henley—provide cultural context to an era defined by celebrity, media saturation, and public spectacle.
