O.J. Simpson is hitting out at reports stating that he is responsible for his girlfriend, Christy Prody’s head injuries.

Sounds like the old “I fell the down the stairs” story to me, to cover up a beating by a loved one.

O.J. has denied claims he was involved in Christie Prody’s injuries. Police and Simpson’s lawyers say the 32-year-old was hurt in a bad fall at a petrol station in Miami.

O.J. is said to be deeply upset at the accident which put his long time partner in intensive care. He’s apparently irate at tabloid reports claiming he’s to blame. “I know everyone wants to jump out and assume this had something to do with me, but it didn’t,” Simpson, 60, told the Miami Herald newspaper.

“She had an accident at a gas station, and she was hurting pretty bad, but fortunately she’s getting better. She’s sounding much better.”

After the “slip”, at Southwest Miami-Dade gas station on Monday, Prody was rushed to Baptist Hospital. Anonymous sources claimed police weren’t convinced that she fell, believed Prody may have been beaten up and were investigating.

But Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, stressed his client was not under investigation and had nothing to do with Prody’s injuries. “It’s crap,” he said in an e-mail statement to the Miami Herald.

If he’s guilty of this, too, then I hope he fries.
