“The Juice” has been on Twitter for less than week but might already be getting himself into trouble.
A string of messages allegedly sent from O.J. Simpson’s new Twitter account, which has yet to be verified, appears to threaten a parody O.J. Simpson account, the New York Post reported.

In a string of videos posted from the parody account, @KillerOJSimpson, messages sent from O.J. Simpson’s real Twitter account, @TheRealOJ32, show a back-and-forth in which he appears to threaten the user with knife emojis.

Under Nevada law, knowingly threatening to “cause bodily injury in the future to the person threatened” is considered harassment, which is punishable as a misdemeanor for a first offense.
Kim Smith, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Public Safety, told the New York Post that the Division of Parole and Probation “takes threats or acts of violence against public safety very seriously and is looking into the alleged complaints. If there is an alleged violation, an investigation will be conducted and appropriate actions will be taken by the Division and the Parole Board,” Smith said.
Simpson remains on parole after having served nine years in prison for an armed robbery in Las Vegas.
Some are skeptical that the DMs came from Simpson himself.
