Udonis Haslem reveals untold story about Dwyane Wade being hit on by OJ Simpson's girlfriend
Udonis Haslem has recalled the story of OJ Simpson's girlfriend hitting on Dwyane Wade at The Mutiny Hotel in Miami. Simpson, more famously known as The Juice, is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. However, the controversy surrounding the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994 has overshadowed his career.
Wade was the guest on the latest episode of "The OGs Show" with Haslem and Mike Miller released on Tuesday. Haslem recalled how, while they were staying at the Miami hotel, Simpson's girlfriend tried to flirt with Wade.
Haslem cautioned his fellow rookie not to speak to the woman because she was in a relationship with The Juice.
"OJ's girl tried to hit on this man," Haslem said. "We living in The Mutiny, man. This is around the time like he got off, but we already know he did the sh*t now. We assumed. She's talking to him in the lobby. She's just being nice and friendly, but he's quiet." [8:41 - 9:05]
Udonis Haslem said he saw the woman with OJ Simpson in the elevator a day before. Haslem then advised Dwyane Wade to not talk to the woman anymore since she's dating a "killer."
"The day before I done seen her on the elevator with The Juice," Haslem said. "That's The Juice's woman. He being a little too friendly now, the conversation went on for about seven minutes. I should have stopped that too."
The retired Miami Heat center added:
"When she walked, I said, 'Listen, man. That's The Juice's lady. He said, 'The Juice?' I say, 'Yeah, man. OJ. The killer. ... I ain't going to tell you what to do or what not to do. I'm saying just understand that we gonna have to ride on The Juice 'cause he clearly thinks he can do what he wants to do about his women." [9:07 - 9:47]
Dwyane Wade confirmed the story and acknowledged that he avoided the woman the next day following Udonis Haslem's advice.
Dwyane Wade also avoided OJ Simpson
In addition to avoiding OJ Simpson's girlfriend, Dwyane Wade also avoided The Juice himself during a chance elevator encounter.
Wade recalled trying to get on an elevator when he found Simpson was already inside. He quickly figured out a way to avoid riding with the former NFL MVP.
"Before the night, we saw The Juice coming in drunk. So the next day, I'm about to get on the elevator. So this is after the night when UD told me that's The Juice's woman, not too much conversation. The next day, I'm about to get on the elevator and the elevator open, it's one person on the elevator: It's The Juice." [10:13 - 10:30 from the video above]
OJ Simpson was controversially acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. Simpson died from cancer in April this year at the age of 76.
