And when the idealization is gone, the love is gone.
So if he

Well, obviously it's voyeurism, but Nancy, it is stalking like the title of Keith's book.
And the psychology of stalking is that the perpetrator, the stalker lives in a state of rejection all the time.
Even when that other person, maybe Nicole wouldn't pick up a phone call or wouldn't spend time with him and everything got interpreted as rejection.
So he stalked her
to punish her for rejecting him.
He also believed that she belonged to him, like property.
So I imagine when he's standing outside the window, watching them have sex, take each other's clothes off, make out.
I mean, I'm imagining the whole thing with his face
pressed up against the mirror, Nancy, he was probably enraged.
And even at that point, possibly having homicidal fantasies.
I'm not surprised that Keith waited so long to come out with this book because O.J.
Simpson is gone now.
He can't do anything from the grave.
So it's a safe time to talk about it.
And it's a very important message
But you know, Nancy, this is what we see with stalkers, and I believe was going on psychologically for OJ, is that he probably had sexual relationships with other women, responded to women, flirted with women.
