Ron Goldman’s father is demanding OJ Simpson meet him in court over any money he is earning since his release from prison to pay down the money he owes his family.
Ron’s father, Fred Goldman, filed court papers saying he’s concerned Simpson has been pocketing cash from appearances and could be selling memorabilia.
The disgraced football legend owes the Goldman’s $70 million from their son’s wrongful death case.

In court documents obtained by TMZ Goldman says the first hearing date of July 3, 2018 is too far away and that Simpson in the meantime ‘could flood the market with sports memorabilia’ and try to keep all the money for himself.
Simpson responded in his own filing referencing an autograph session he held back in October was a one time gig that was helping him ‘readjust to civilian life.’

Simpson says he has had a lot of opportunities to make money but has rejected all of them with the exception of the autograph session.
Goldman filed docs to divert any money Simpson made from any interviews, shows, presentations or exhibitions to help pay down the $70 million wrongful death judgment he owes.
If he were to take cash – for example, from signing autographs – but not declare it, he would violate federal law and his parole. He could then end up back in jail.
The Goldman family launched a legal bid to relieve Simpson of any money he makes from giving interviews following his release last week, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Lawyers acting for the Goldmans previously filed a motion in Santa Monica, California demanding the former NFL star disclose any attempts ‘to monetize himself’.
Court papers seen by DailyMail.com in October show the Goldman family is ‘concerned that Mr. Simpson or others on his behalf are shopping a potential entertainment, interview, or similar platform through the media’.
While OJ’s attorneys have denied the claims, Goldman’s family said: ‘We take issue with this statement. Our prior experience with Mr Simpson over many years indicates the contrary, that in fact he or his advisors, agents, attorneys, family members, or surrogates, are “shopping” one or more entertainment, documentary, reality TV, or interview vehicles at this time.’

The legal filing adds: ‘Such an asset would be subject to enforcement, which would include any revenues arising therefrom or any asset constituting a business opportunity or the like.’
Simpson’s attorney said: ‘Mr Simpson has no desire to conduct any interviews with the media, and certainly has no desire to solicit an interview for monetary gain’.
Simpson became the first player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a single season back in 1973. After nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills, he retired after a two-year stint with his hometown San Francisco 49ers in 1979.
