As the series with the biggest “buzz” of the television season—and the highest ratings of any cable series—FX’s roundly praised American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson presents its finale tonight, the TV listings hype the episode: “The jurors deliberate and a verdict is given.” Gee, wonder how that will turn out?

Sleuth has acquitted himself well on the O.J. front…having devoted three issues of his magazine to the trial as it continued through 1994-5. And from the moment the murders were first announced—the actual initial article (above left)—your ‘eyes and ears’ has been all over it: he and Mrs. Sleuth even visited the murder scene at 875 South Bundy Drive before the trial…and got so close to the unprotected gate they could have put the blood there!

The case had so many twists and turns, you needed a scorecard to know the players (above). Yet despite the complexity of casting, opined one of many rave reviews of the series: “The People v. O.J. is clever and incredibly watchable”…so let’s pay tribute to its conclusion by baring the most watchable women of the Trial of the Century!

SQUEEZING THE JUICE:

NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON – Reportedly “began an affair with O.J. while he was still married to first wife” Marguerite Whitley. “I liked the way Nicole looked,” he later explained. When she tired of his cheating on her, Nicole wrote in her diary {intended for her husband} shortly before her death: “Right now I’m so angry! I would fuck every guy including some you know, just to let you know how it feels.” Brett Shaves, the young lawyer who handled her divorce from Simpson, was one of her retaliatory romances—she’s topless astride his shoulders in this snap from their 1993 romp in Mexico {obtained by Sleuth when sold by a family member}!

DENISE BROWN – Even when chosen as Homecoming Princess at Dana Hills High in 1977, Nicole was overshadowed by her big sister Denise, who'd been crowned Queen the year before and was already a top model. At the trial, Brown cried on the stand and riveted the room when she testified that Simpson “grabbed Nicole’s crotch one night in a bar in full view of friends and strangers and proclaimed, ‘This is mine!’” Gagged by court order not to speak for a decade after the murders, Denise declared in 2004: “Well, I’m not gagged anymore! Marcia Clark thought she was the cat’s meow. But she fucked up the trial, and she never even apologized.”

MARCIA CLARK – “We had a great sexlife,” lamented second husband Gordon Clark—the scientologist seen on the series divorcing the prosecutor while she was trying the Simpson case. “Until she started coming home and discussing other people’s extramarital affairs. Then our sexual relationship began to diminish—until it just suddenly ended. Marcia may have been involved with another man.” Her first man was backgammon hustler Gaby Horowitz—“whose rip-off victims included O.J. Simpson” at the leading L.A. private club Pips! “They went to St. Tropez for their honeymoon” in Nov. 1976, “where she posed topless with Horowitz” on the beach—the photo was “leaked in 1995 by Gaby Horowitz’s mother”—after he’d been shot in the head by his best friend, Bruce Roman—who officiated at the Scientology ceremony when Marcia married Gordon Clark!

KATO KAELIN – Speaking of being involved with another man, it was widely rumored that Nicole had bedded famous freeloader Kato, who first “lived behind Nicole’s house on Gretna Green Way where O.J. kicked in the back door prior to her moving to the townhouse outside of which she was murdered.” The provocation for that was Simpson peering through the window and seeing his estranged wife “performing oralsex” on boyfriend Keith Zlomsowitch “on the living room couch while the children slept upstairs.” Some have speculated that what prompted the vicious attack on Nicole and Ron Goldman was O.J. thinking the Mezzaluna waiter was actually Zlomsowitch, the same restaurant’s Director of Operations! “What’s up with this Kato: Is he fucking my wife?” Simpson asked friends throughout 1993. And while both denied they were lovers, a tabloid source was quoted as saying that, “Nicole flirted with Kato, and paraded around topless in front of him when he lived in her guest house.”

BRITTANY McCRENA – That source was later identified as Kaelin’s estranged fiancée, model and actress Brittany McCrena, who revealed: “Kato insisted that he and Nicole were just good pals. He said he was turned off by her flaunting herself topless outside the guest house at Gretna Green.” Which Brittany observed first gland when she visited him there: “He said, ‘If she’s trying to seduce me, she’s going about it the wrong way. She’s too obvious, I’m not into bimbos. And there’s O.J. to worry about.”

From now on, let’s not worry about the details…here are the biggest babes from the case that keeps on giving:

FAYE RESNICK – Nicole’s close friend who says they shared a lesbian liaison: “Nic leaned over and started kissing me. A woman…but it was Nicole. I was enjoying this. It was wonderful being with her.” Not in O.J.'s view, apparently ...

KRIS KARDASHIAN – Nicole’s close friend and wife of O.J.’s best buddy and lawyer Robert Kardashian (father of the now-famous clan). “The one thing she would tell all of us,” Kris confides about Nicole, “was ‘He’s going to kill me and he’s going to get away with it.’”

THE JUICE’S SQUEEZES:

PAULA BARBIERI – O.J.’s model girlfriend at the time, she spent the night before the murders with him, but later broke up after the acquittal because of “his infidelities.”

TAWNY KITAEN – “I’ve got two women, and I don’t want that woman in my bed anymore, “ Simpson snarled to cops about his wife during the infamous New Year’s Eve 1989 assault in which Nicole “ran screaming from the house in her bra, yelling, ‘He’s going to kill me!’” Numerous friends confirmed: “He was talking about Tawny {as the bedmate he preferred}. Nicole told O.J.: ‘I want you to promise never to see that bitch again!’” He did…and the actress flashed photogs to distract them when the duo was spotted out on a date!

GRETCHEN STOCKDALE – “Hey Gretchen, sweetheart!” began the voice message Simpson left on the former Raiders Cheerleader’s answering machine at 7:35 p.m. on June 12, 1994—less than 3 hours before Nicole and Ron were slain! When she testified about their relationship during the trial, the jurors were excluded, but visitors to his “secret hideaway” after the verdict “were astonished to find a seductive Gretchen wearing a slinky nightie and lying next to O.J. in his bed.”

TRACI ADELL – Spoke to Simpson for 45 minutes, beginning at 3 p.m. on the afternoon of the murders. The glamour model revealed: “He started talking about his ex-wives and how he was looking for someone else. And he made a little joke about how I’m not his typical type. He said he’d dated blondes and said, ‘I guess that hasn’t worked out for me.’” Those black leather gloves she's palming (above left) worked out pretty well for him in court, though!

– While in prison awaiting trial, O.J. told blonde centerfold Heidi: “Wait for me until I get out, because I love you.” The tabloids headlined: “Girl Crazy O.J. Carried On Passionate Affair with Pinup,” but Heidi denied they’d ever consummated things. “It’s all lies. I can laugh at it now, but it was really hard for me.” So is being behind bars!

CHRISTINE PRODY – Soon after his acquittal, Simpson met college dropout and nurse’s aide Chrstine…and they spent the next thirteen years together! “It was very hard to deal with his comparing me to Nicole every day,” she said after he went to prison in 2008 for armed robbery. “‘Nicole did this, Nicole did that. You should do this, that’s what she did.’” He also talked Christie into dying her naturally brunette hair bleached blonde … and to get breast implants…so she wound up looking “remarkably similar to his slain ex-wife.”

Concluding as ONLY this crazy crime story could, O.J.’s faithful girlfriend wound up going to jail herself—while he remains in prison—for stealing prescription drugs, including morphine, from an elderly man who employed her as an aide in 2012 (mugshots at bottom left). “I felt a lot of empathy for him,” Christine confessed about Simpson after completing her sentence in 2014. “I will always love him. He’s had a lasting effect on my life.” And when last seen, she was in a lasting relationship with another black … woman.
