According to the Daily Mail, O.J. thanked his supporters in a video on social media earlier this year, noting that his health was «good».
«Thank you to everyone who reached out to me. My health is good», - he said in the video. «Obviously, I have some issues, but I think I’ve almost got them under control, and hopefully in a couple of weeks I’ll be back on the golf course».
