Kim Goldman has always been forthcoming about the closeness she shared with her brother. As it turns out, that had a lot to do with a heartbreak they’d experienced together early on in their lives.
In the premiere episode of the “Confronting: O.J. Simpson with Kim Goldman” podcast, Kim shared that their mom leaving the family when they were both young had brought her, Ron Goldman, and their dad, Fred Goldman, closer together. “It was just my dad, Ron, and I growing up. We were ‘the three musketeers,'” she shared. Kim added that she had tried to foster a relationship with their mom throughout her life, though she wasn’t exactly the kindest parent on the occasions they did see each other. Rather, Kim revealed that she’d typically spend their time together saying cruel things to her.
As for Kim’s mother’s involvement in her life after Ron’s death, she shared that she had been present, but that’s not to say she was particularly supportive of her grieving daughter. Au contraire, asked by her co-host, Nancy Glass, if her mother had become an unexpected pillar of strength, Kim joked, “No, she called me a b***h … while we were in court.” We suppose that makes her parenting consistent.
