OJ Simpson starts laughing when asked about his children being inside the house when their mother was murdered on the the Fox special OJ: The Lost Confession.

DailyMail.com has learned that after Simpson gives his hypothetical account of what happened on the night that Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman are killed, publisher Judith Regan asks: 'So your kids were in house.'

Simpson immediately starts laughing, and responds: 'Now we got to stop. Now we got to stop. It's hard enough for me without bringing my kids into this.'

He then gets quiet for a moment before he starts laughing again, adding: 'I'm sorry, I tend to keep my kids out of everything as you may notice.'

His son Justin was 5 at the time while his daughter Sydney was 8, and had it not been for the family dog drawing the attention of a nearby resident when he emerged from the property with dried blood on his paw, the two children would have been the ones to discover their mother's body.

OJ: The Last Confession will air Sunday at 8pm on Fox.

Hypothesizing: OJ Simpson gives his hypothetical account of how he killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in a Fox special filmed in 2006 (grab from interview above)

Innocent victims: He is then asked about the fact that his two children were sleeping just inside the home while their mother was being brutally murdered back in 1994 (Justin and Sydney with their parents in March 1994, just three months before the murder)

In the special, Simpson says that he had become angry with Nicole in the weeks before the murders because of her alleged drug use and relationship with Faye Resnick, who he refers to as a 'hooker' and 'call girl.'

Things reached a boiling point on the day of the murder when Simpson claims he was told by a doctor that Resnick and possibly even Nicole would be going to rehab while at a dance recital for his daughter Sydney.

That night, he made the decision to go confront Nicole about this at her home, arriving with a friend he calls 'Charlie.'

Things got heated when he saw a man he did not recognize arriving to meet Nicole, Ron Goldman.

Then, while he and Nicole were yelling at one another, his ex fell over says Simpson, at which point Goldman threatened to fight him with karate.

That is when he claims Charlie came up to him while holding a knife that he either got from Nicole's home or Simpson's Bronco.

Simpson says that is when he blacked out and when he came to was covered in blood, so he quickly fled the scene with 'Charlie,' leaving his two children alone in the side the house while their dead mother lay fatally stabbed outside the door to her home.

The segment begins by pointing out that though what the football player says is hypothetical, it is 'tantamount to a confession.'

Regan revealed in a clip that has been cut from the upcoming Fox special that Simpson confessed to the murders via his lawyer.

'Actually I received a phone call from an attorney who said OJ is ready to confess,' explained Regan in the clip, which was obtained by TMZ.

'I thought it was some kind of scam and I didn't believe him and I thought this guy's a lunatic, but I took his number and said I'd call him back. And the next day I called him back and he said he was willing to do it and the only condition that he had was he didn't want to call the book I Did It, he wanted to put an If in front of it so that he would have deniability with his children.'

She then added: 'He couldn't face his children and couldn't tell them that he had done it. That was the way it was portrayed to me.'

Simpson tells Regan in the special that he first saw Nicole when she was working at The Daisy, a popular Los Angeles club, and after failing to get her number during their first encounter went back a few days later.

Simpson confirms that he then began a relationship with Nicole, despite the fact that he was still with his first wife Marguerite, who had just given birth to their daughter Aaren at the time.

Nicole meanwhile had just graduated high school.

Simpson says he was in the process of separating from his wife, but they were slow to get a divorce because of the birth.

Simpson's love affair with Nicole, and how quickly the two became serious after meeting in 1977, was the focus of an entire episode of the Oscar and Emmy-winning documentary OJ: Made In America.

Simpson's friend Thomas McCollum III recalled his first trip to The Daisy with the football star, and the exact moment the then 30-year-old Simpson saw Nicole, who was still a teenager.

'He was married to Marguerite at that time, but as we're sitting there this gorgeous little surfer blonde is waiting tables at the lunch hour,' said McCollum.

'OJ goes, "Wow, who's that?" And Nicole came over and she said hello and she didn't walk ten feet away and he looks right at [owner of The Daisy] Jack Hanson and says: "I'm going to marry that girl."'

David LeBon was Nicole's roommate in Los Angeles at the time and said he was shocked at how quick it was happened, and the state his friend came home in after her first date with the former football star.

'She was 18-years-old. She had just graduated from high school. She was like my little sister,' said LeBon.

'She goes, "I met this man and his name is OJ Simpson."

'They went out and I waited up for them. She got home and it was like 2:00 in the morning and her jeans were ripped and I went "what happened?"

'And she goes, "well, he was a little forceful". And I go "Nicole, why would you let him on a first date be a little bit forceful?"'

He went on to say that Nicole told him that she really liked Simpson.

'That was the start of it,' said LeBon.

Two days later LeBon said that Nicole told him Simpson was buying her a car and getting her an apartment.

'I went, "Nicole, think about this." You know he's married and has children. And she goes, "but I think I really like this guy."

'It was that fast,' said LeBon. '18 years old. I mean, it was too young.'

The final person to speak during the first episode was Nicole's sister Tanya Brown, who spoke about just how in love her older sibling was with this man who was unknown to them despite his fame.

'We didn't know who he was. We're girls in the Brown house. We didn't grow up with football, we went to the beach,' said Tanya.

'We were like, "who are you?"'

She then added: 'They had a real love affair these two. When they were together it was just love.

'And that's what makes this thing so sad.'

In a clip that was released earlier in the week, Simpson spoke about what it was like attending Nicole's wake.

'It was tough, I just remember seeing her there and I still had so many feelings of - if you're angry with a person upon their death, if you're angry with someone about whatever is going on in your life, when they die, it's not like that anger disappears,' Simpson told Judith Regan back in 2006 when he taped the special.

He did not stop there, going on to explain that he felt most of that anger over the fact that he would no longer be able to yell at Nicole, who had died just three days prior to the service in a gruesome double murder.

When later asked by Regan what he said when leaned over and kissed Nicole, Simpson responded: 'I don't know that I said anything to be honest with you.'

The special will include a panel discussion with Regan, a member of Ron Goldman's family, and prosecutor Christopher Draden led by Soledad O'Brien.

The veteran anchor posted about the special on Wednesday, writing: 'In Tampa, laying down final tracks for our special on OJ Simpson, and his 2006 intv with Judith Reagan. Most bizarre and insane interview I've ever been a part of.'

Simpson specifically references a 911 call that was made in October of 1993, when the two were entertaining the idea of a possible reconciliation for the final time.

Nicole called authorities twice on October 25 after a violent episode broke out between her and Simpson, culminating with the former football player trying to break down her door to gain entry into her residence.

'He’s ranting and raving outside,' Nicole told the dispatcher, stating later that Simpson was going to 'beat the s***' out of her.

When asked if this had happened in the past, Nicole said: 'Many times.'

Through this all, Simpson can be heard in the background screaming, and at one point shouts: 'OJ worked his ass off for this family - for Keith?'

Twelve years after that call, Simpson used his interview to point out he was right, though about what it unclear.

'And because of the 911 call and I'm yelling at her about what is going on it was almost like I wanted to say: "I told you, didn't I tell you, didn't I say to you," you know, whatever the hell was going on,' said Simpson of his thoughts while attending the wake for the mother of his children'

'So you still got those kind of feelings in you, and you're still trying to deal with: I am not going to be able to say this to this person, I'm never gonna be able to change this person's mind, I'm never gonna have an affect on this person again.'

The Keith he was referring to was restaurateur Keith Zlomsowitch, who Nicole dated after leaving Simpson.

The restaurateur met her in Aspen and soon they began to spend time together.

'Her and her friends came by [the restaurant] Mezzaluna one night and then, all the sudden, I see the Bentley come screeching up to the front of the door,' said Zlomsowitch of his first meeting with Simpson in the Oscar-winning documentary OJ: Made In America.

'OJ walks in, comes straight over to our table, slams his hands down, looks me straight in the eye and says: "I'm OJ Simpson and she's still my wife."'

Nicole would later tell Zlomsowitch that Simpson actually followed them home and watched the two make love one night.

This behavior is why the Brown family was suspicious of Simpson from the start, something he acknowledged in the special while detailing his exchange with Nicole's mother at the wake.

'I just remember Judy Brown pulling me over and looking me in the eye and saying: "OJ did you have anything to do with this,"' said Simpson.

'And I know I told her no.'

Juditha would later give a very detailed account about Simpson's behavior at the wake and funeral while testifying in the civil case her family and the Goldmans filed following his acquittal on murder charges,

'He was so doped up, I don't even think he remembers he was at a funeral,' said Juditha.

More will be revealed on OJ: The Lost Confession when it airs Sunday in a match-up with former Fox juggernaut American Idol, which is making its debut on ABC in the same time slot after 15 seasons on Fox.

It is unclear how much Simpson was paid for this interview in 2006 with Regan, who was his publisher at the time and set to release his book If I Did It.

She later lost her job for her involvement in the special.

In another preview, Simpson said: 'Forget everything you think you know about that night, because I know the facts better than anyone. This is one story the whole world got wrong.'

Simpson reportedly revealed that after the killer and Charlie arrived at Nicole's home they saw candles in the window as a man approached the home.

Nicole then came to the door and the killer blacked out, later coming to to discover he is covered in blood.

The initial release of the show was halted back in 2006 due to money owed by Simpson in a civil suit and public outcry.

The former football star was ordered to pay the Goldmans $33.5million by a civil court jury shortly after he was acquitted of double murder, but in the two decades since that verdict was handed down the family have received no money from Simpson.

His disregard for the judgment came back to haunt him however after his plans to publish his book about the murders was revealed back in 2006, with the special set to air in conjunction with the book's debut.

The rights to the book were instead awarded to the Goldmans by a Florida bankruptcy court a year later, and they went on to sell the book under the title If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.

The Goldmans also shrunk do the 'It' in the title, making in nearly invisible so that the title appeared to read I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.

Simpson then found himself behind bars for nearly a decade shortly after that decision when he was charged with armed robbery and kidnapping back in 2008 in Clark Count.

That verdict that was handed down exactly 13 years to the day that he was acquitted in her murder trial.

The Goldmans will now be getting a little more money as well, with any cut Simpson would have gotten from the current airing of the special going to the family.

That is likely why they agreed to the release of the special, with the family having initially opposed the airing of the 'confession' on Fox.
