The Internet is just catching up to an earlier story reported in the tabloids.

from www.huffingtonpost.com – The National Enquirer reported on Tuesday that O.J. Simpson was attacked in the Nevada prison and beaten unconscious. He spent three weeks in the infirmary.

Inmates cheered as a muscular young skinhead knocked him to the ground, punching and kicking him to a bloody pulp and inflicting injuries so severe he secretly spent nearly three weeks in the infirmary before he recovered.

According to the report, prison authorities have “done their best” to keep the beating a secret and Simpson is now afraid to leave his cell.

The 63-year-old has reportedly been a “marked man” in prison “ever since white supremacists overheard him brag about his sexual conquests of beautiful white women.”

Simpson’s former business partner, Bruce Fromong, said: “Unfortunately for O.J., a group of young skinhead punks were within earshot – and they were enraged.”
