The family of slain waiter Ron Goldman want what they're owed, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Fred Goldman, the still-grieving father who has been fighting for years to see the money granted to him in a 1997 judgment, hit O.J. Simpson's estate with a creditor's claim more than three months after the disgraced football star's death.
As we previously reported, O.J. was acquitted on all charges after being accused of the brutal murders of both Ron and ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson.
However, in a follow-up civil suit, O.J. was found financially liable for their deaths and ordered to shell out $33.5 million – an amount that he not only never paid in full, but has also increased drastically with interest.
Fred put forward a recent motion that alleged the late football player's estate currently owed him more than $117 million.
The court filing stated: “I affirm that the amount of the claim, $117,041,675.27 through July 25, 2024, with interest accruing thereafter at the daily rate of $26,402.3630, or the alternative claim amount as explained above, $73,148,948.71 through July 25, 2024, with interest accruing at the daily rate thereafter of $16,638.73, is justly due. I also affirm that all payments have been credited and there are no offsets known to the affiant.”
After losing his battle with cancer, O.J. left his estate to his children, per In Touch. His longtime attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, later released a merciless statement wishing the Goldmans would "get zero" from his ex client's riches.
He added: “I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
At the time, a lawyer representing the Goldman family also confirmed O.J. "died without penance" and had not wanted to "give a dime, a nickel to Fred [Goldman], never, anything, never."
Fred's own statement on O.J.'s death included no kind words for the former felon – only thoughts of his murdered son.
It read: “The only thing I have to say is that today is just a further reminder of how long we have missed my son, how long he’s been gone, and the only thing that is important today are the victims. That’s it.”
