O.J. ADDICTED TO OXYCONTIN
A deeply depressed O.J. Simpson
has become addicted to the dangerous
painkiller OxyContin, say
sources.
Reeling from the sudden shelving
of his controversial new book - which the
publisher called his murder confession - the
disgraced football star has plummeted into a
hellhole of heavy boozing, drug abuse and insane
jealousy, confide insiders.
"O.J.'s life has become one big crisis since
the book was cancelled," an insider told The
ENQUIRER. "He's bingeing on booze and
has become addicted to the painkiller.
"On top of that, he smokes a lot of marijuana
and often does cocaine. All of it sets him off
into rages at everyone around him."
The plug was pulled on O.J.'s book
"If I
Did It" amid a storm of public outrage that he
would get rich off committing murder.
Although he received $2 million up front
for the scrapped project, the former gridiron
great is wallowing in misery.
The ridicule and embarrassment has sent
Simpson reeling - raging at his children and
paranoid that his live-in girlfriend Christie
Prody might be cheating on him, say sources.
Simpson was prescribed OxyContin - the same powerful drug Rush Limbaugh fell victim to
- when he had his knee replaced several months
ago, insiders say.
