Just barely a month after O.J. Simpson passed away following a brief battle with prostate cancer, controversies continue to trail his legacy. Simpson, a former actor and football star, had a brush with the law, most notably for his alleged involvement in the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in 1994.
In 2007, the former NFL star was also arrested for armed robbery and served jail time, adding to his infamy. However, as the 30th anniversary of Nicole’s death approaches in the wake of her ex-husband’s demise, her two sisters have opened up about the events surrounding the passing of their beloved sibling.

For the sisters, Simpson’s death marked the end of a long and painful chapter. They noted that while it did not erase the pain of losing Nicole, it provided a form of closure they had been yearning for.
Nicole and Simpson’s relationship was not healthy
Tanya explained that Nicole met the football star while working at a Los Angeles restaurant, and their friendship blossomed into a relationship soon after. Shockingly, she disclosed that Simpson began maltreating her sister from the onset of their relationship, with instances of abuse persisting even after Nicole became pregnant with their first child.
Tanya shared her deep-seated conviction that Simpson was responsible for her sister’s tragic death when the news broke two years after their separation. However, Dominique, Nicole’s sister, remained silent regarding the ex-NFL star’s potential involvement.
