Mary J.

There is no evidence that the celebrities themselves violated any laws, said investigators. A spokeswoman for Blige said she had never taken illegal steroids; the other stars could not be reached for comment, said the Times Union.

But in November, said Miguel Pereira of You Ring We Spring bail bonds, Simpson asked Pereira to tell one of the men arrested with him that he was “fed up with motherf---- changing what they told me.” Simpson’s lawyer said the former football star was merely “voicing frustration.”
