OJ Simpson’s second wife is Nicole Brown Simpson.
Nicole Brown Simpson was born on May 19, 1959, to an American father and a German mother. Her family immigrated to California after she was born in Frankfurt, Germany. Nicole started working as a waitress at The Daisy in Beverly Hills when she was 18 years old. There, she met her future husband, former NFL star OJ Simpson. Not long after that, they started dating and fell in love. OJ Simpson married Nicole Brown Simpson in 1985 after divorcing his first wife, Marguerite Whitley, in 1979. They had two children, a daughter named Sydney and a son named Justin. However, their passion was short-lived and she filed for divorce due to “irreconcilable differences”. According to multiple accounts, OJ hit Nicole and their friends helped the couple reconcile.
On June 12, 1994, Nicole was enjoying dinner with family and friends at Mezzaluna restaurant after watching her daughter’s dance performance. Her waiter friend Ronald Goldman offers to leave her mother’s sunglasses for Nicole, which she forgot on her way out. Hours later, on June 13, the remains of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were discovered at their home in Los Angeles. According to the autopsy report, Brown was stabbed seven times in the scalp, neck, and throat, nearly dismembering her head.
When authorities arrived at OJ Simpson’s residence to report him, they discovered a bloody glove and a bloodied white Ford Bronco. They then discover another glove on his property that is involved in the double murder. OJ is not at home because he is traveling to Chicago. On June 17, police ordered the former NFL star to surrender, but he left in another White Bronc.
OJ surrenders after a low-speed chase and a brief confrontation with the police. He was found with a revolver, $9,000 in cash, a passport and a fake mustache. The OJ Simpson murder trial has become one of the most prominent in the United States, and the former NFL star is defended by Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran, and Kim Kardashian’s late father, Robert Kardashian. OJ Simpson was acquitted in October 1995 after eight months of harsh trials. In 1997, a judge awarded the Brown and Goldman families $33.5 million in punitive damages, and OJ was found “responsible” for the murders.

Will Smith should have slapped this bastard harder. The “comparison” to Nicole Brown Simpson is disgusting and that’s why I can’t stand Chris Rock. https://t.co/tWPE3md2ci
