Paula Barbieri (born December 31, 1966) is an American former model and actress. She was reportedly the last girlfriend of O. J. Simpson before the murder of Nicole Simpson and was with him the night before the murders, at a fundraiser.
Barbieri first gained public recognition as a fashion model for Vogue and Victoria's Secret. Moreover, Barbieri acted in several low-budget straight-to-video movies in the early to mid 1990s and appeared as a pool hustler in the Double or Nothing (1992) episode of the erotic drama series Red Shoe Diaries with Ely Pouget, Francesco Quinn, and Lisa Boyle. In 1995, she appeared in The Misery Brothers, in The Watcher episode "The Human Condition", and in The Dangerous. She also appeared in the Red Shoe Diaries 5: Weekend Pass. Her last role was as Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Angela Cross in the TV movie Night Eyes 4: Fatal Passion. She posed for a nude pictorial in the October, 1994 issue of Playboy and was "the girl" in Michael Bolton's music video for "Completely".
Barbieri had dated O. J. Simpson and was reportedly his last girlfriend before the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Brown's friend Ronald Goldman, on June 12, 1994. Barbieri last saw Simpson the night before the murders, when they attended a fundraiser together. On the morning of the murders, Barbieri left Simpson a 30-minute-long message on his answering machine, breaking off their relationship. She indicated she was flying to Las Vegas to be with singer Michael Bolton. Simpson denied ever receiving the message, and his attorney Johnnie Cochran portrayed Simpson and Barbieri as a happy couple. Barbieri was called to testify at Simpson's trial.
