The creation of O.J. Simpson's 2006 pay-per-view prank program, 'Juiced,' is the subject of the new docuseries 'O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil.' Production was far from smooth, with one instance escalating into a serious confrontation. Simpson, known for stunts like impersonating Elvis, reportedly engaged in a heated exchange with director and producer Todd Lewis.
During the incident, Lewis claims Simpson called him racist, a remark that deeply upset him. Lewis expressed concern about Simpson's volatile nature, noting that he saw "anger in his eyes" at one point. This tense moment occurred approximately one year before Simpson's arrest in 2007 for armed robbery and kidnapping.
'O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil' is set to premiere on Monday, September 7, on Investigation Discovery. Viewers will also be able to stream the docuseries on HBO Max starting the following day. The series aims to provide an inside look at the making of 'Juiced' and its controversial backdrop.
