He told interviewer Judith Regan: ‘She always had a thing about her weight, and that became an all-consuming thing.
‘That became a major, major thing.
‘She had heard rumors of me having affairs and that was true…she had had a fling herself.’
Speaking of New Years Eve 1989, where a row over alleged infidelity spilled over into violence he said: ‘She got physical with me, I got physical with her.
‘I am bigger, obviously I should not have done. I was the man, I should not have reacted the way I reacted.’
O.J.’s sheepish confession came during the bombshell interview, first recorded over a decade ago but finally broadcast Sunday.
Sunday’s television interview was originally pulled in 2006 after an outcry from the families of (victims) Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, with Fox boss Rupert Murdoch himself apologizing for the bad-taste show.
The families have now approved its release, with the Goldman’s awarded the rights to If I Did It after launching a civil suit.
It was screened with a panel of analysts to discuss what O.J. says and provide context.
O.J. married Nicole in 1985 and pleaded no contest to spousal abuse in 1989.
O.J. continued to abuse Nicole after they divorced in 1992, with both her and her friend Ron Goldman, 25, were found stabbed to death on the driveway of her house in Brentwood, Ca., two years later.
He was accused of her murder – but led 20 police cars and nine helicopters on a low-speed chase across L.A. after refusing to hand himself in.
Simpson’s case, dubbed the ‘trial of the century’ opened in January 1995, with the Naked Gun star acquitted of both murders that October.
He was later found responsible for the deaths in a civil trial, and ordered to pay Brown and Goldman’s relatives $33.5million in damages.
Simpson was convicted of felonies including kidnapping, burglary and armed robbery in 2007, and jailed for up to 33 years. He was released on parole last October
