How ‘The View’ reacted to OJ Simpson’s death: ‘Hope it gives peace to the family of the victims’

That famous Bronco chase is in their view.

On Thursday, news broke that O.J. Simpson died at age 76 after a battle with prostate cancer.

“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” the family wrote on X on Thursday.

“He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace,” the brief statement added.

Simpson is remembered for his past in the NFL and his stint in Hollywood — but he’s most famous for his 1994 televised police chase in his white Bronco and his 1995 murder trial.

“The View” opened its Thursday morning show by reacting to it mere minutes after the news broke.

Immediately after walking onstage at the beginning of the broadcast, Whoopi Goldberg, 68, told the audience, “Just before we went on air today, news broke that OJ Simpson has passed away. He was battling cancer. We didn’t want you to not know because we just got [the news.].”

Co-host Sunny Hostin, 55, then said, “Can I just say, who doesn’t remember the trial of the century? It was an 11-month trial … where were you when O.J. was in that Bronco?”

The former NFL star was on trial in 1995 for killing his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman — for which he was acquitted. Simpson’s controversial acquittal was considered one of the great failures of the American justice system.

Hostin reminisced, “I was on a date with a guy named Paul” when the infamous Bronco chase happened.

“I remember feeling a great sense of injustice happened; it’s one of the reasons I became a prosecutor,” she said. “For me the tragedy was the injustice.”

Joy Behar pressed Hostin on “which part?” since Hostin was vague about what “injustice” she was referring to.

“The criminal trial, he was not found guilty,” Hostin explained.

The Bronco chase that Hostin referred to was the famous police chase on June 17, 1994, when Simpson got in his white Ford Bronco and drove away instead of presenting himself to face the charges.

He was declared a fugitive, as police pursued him at low speed for two hours in a televised chase. 95 million people tuned in, as Hostin reminisced about being on a “date” during that time.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, jumped in with her own memory.

“I was 5 years old, my parents had it on,” she said, referring to the famous police chase.

“That and Princess Diana’s death [are] ingrained in me.”

She added about Simpson’s death, “I hope it gives some peace to the family of the victims … I agree it was a miscarriage of justice. I hope it helps them to find peace.”

“The View” hosts all noted about the victims, “Saying their names matters.”

Hostin cut in with their names.

“Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson. These people are terribly missed by their families,” she said.
