Cuba Gooding Jr. Heard Something Eerie About O.J. Simpson During Nicole Simpson's 911 Calls

A recent interview with People, revealed that actor Cuba Gooding Jr. — who plays O.J. in the new hit series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story: — believes brain damage could be behind the former athlete’s violent behavior.

According the 48-year-old star, O.J. suffers from CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), a progressive brain disease often caused by repetitive head trauma.

Cuba claims that symptoms of this condition were clearly detectable during the 911 calls Nicole made prior to her brutal murder.

“You’ll see an episode that details the actual 911 tapes based on the domestic violence that he experienced, that Nicole Brown Simpson experienced,” Cuba stated. “One of the aspects of having CTE is that the physical manifestation of that aggression that your brain motivates in a person is something that’s uncontrollable and memorable.”

“I think that it’s just so very telling in his behavior,” the star explained, and Dr. Bennet Omalu — who has built his career on discovering and understanding the link between football and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy — seems to agree.

As Star readers know, according to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of CTE include aggression, emotional instability, depression, and explosivity.

Doctor Bennet is so certain of his diagnosis, he would even “bet his medical license” on it!
