OJ Simpson was released on October 1 from the Nevada prison where he spent 9 years imprisoned for attempted armed robbery. Now, the former "Trial of the Century" defendant and NFL star is looking to cash in on his first post-jail TV appearance.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, several associates of Simpson have contacted major television networks in pursuit of a seven-figure payout for his first interview, but none of the traditional media outlets are biting.
"It is treacherous," one TV news veteran told THR, while another said they wouldn't touch him with a "10-foot pole."
ABC, CBS, and NBC have all reportedly passed on paying for an interview with Simpson, which would violate their news division standards. A+E Networks and Discovery have also declined.
The New York Post reported last month that Simpson would be seeking between $3 million and $5 million for an interview.
As THR notes, however, any money that Simpson makes would be subject to seizure for the mostly unpaid settlement that he still owes the family of Ron Goldman, after a civil jury found him liable for the killings of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994.
The sum Simpson owes the Goldmans has grown from $33.5 million to close to $70 million in interest for the unpaid settlement, according to THR.
O.J.辛普森因持枪抢劫未遂被判刑，在内华达州一所监狱服刑9年后，于10月1日获释。这位前NFL球星曾是那场“世纪审判”的被告，如今，他正盘算借出狱后在电视上首次露面之机捞一笔。
据《好莱坞报人》杂志报道，辛普森的同案犯们已联系了各大电视台，就辛普森的首次采访开出七位数的天价，但没有一家传统媒体上钩。
一名资深电视新闻记者说：“这不靠谱”，另一个人说给他们“八竿子”也不撩辛普森（译注：wouldn't touch sb. with a 10-foot pole是习语，意指不想和某人沾边，这里10-foot pole打引号可能还语含双关，指新闻记者用来绑摄录器材的长杆）。
ABC、CBS和NBC都声称不会付钱采访辛普森，因为不符合他们新闻部门的标准。A+E新闻网和《探索发现》频道也回绝了。
《纽约邮报》上个月报道，辛普森接受采访的要价在300万美元到500万美元之间。
然而，《好莱坞报人》指出，虽然1994年的刑事审判裁定他无罪，但是民事陪审团判定他对高德曼和妮可·布朗·辛普森的被杀负有责任，他至今仍欠荣·高德曼家一大笔赔偿金未付，所以他赚的钱都要被没收，用来偿付。
《好莱坞报人》杂志称，辛普森欠高德曼家的总金额已从最初的3350万美元连本带利滚至近7000万美元。
