The sisters of the late Nicole Brown Simpson break down during an emotional interview for the upcoming Lifetime documentary about her infamous murder.
Days before the 30th anniversary of the shocking deaths of Simpson and Ron Goldman, the television network will release the two-part documentary. The life and murder of Nicole Brown Simpson on June 1 and 2.
Nicole’s three sisters, Denise, Dominique and Tanya Brown, talk about their sister’s life, death and legacy. They also reflect on her known abusive relationship with her ex-husband and NFL star, OJ Simpson.
“She was my best friend,” Denise said of her sister. “And the only person he couldn’t protect her from was the monster she was married to.”
Denise, Dominique, and Tanya then stated that it was important for people to learn more about Nicole Brown Simpson beyond her murder and OJ’s acquittal ruling during his criminal trial.
Nicole Brown and OJ Simpson were married from 1985 to 1992. They had two children, Sydney and Justin. During the marriage, OJ became abusive towards Nicole. The athlete even pleaded “no contest” after he was accused of assaulting her. Nicole filed for divorce in 1992.
On June 12, 1994, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman were brutally murdered outside their condominium in the Brentwood neighborhood. OJ was later considered a key suspect in the murders and was arrested following his infamous low-speed police chase.
After almost nine months, OJ was acquitted of the murders. However, two years later, he was found responsible for Ron and Nicole’s deaths in a civil case brought by the Brown and Goldman families.
The release of the documentary also comes less than two months after OJ Simpson died while battling prostate cancer. He was 76 years old at the time of his death.
Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters release statement claiming her life was ‘stolen’
Along with the release of the trailer for the Lifetime documentary, Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters also released a statement regarding OJ Simpson’s death.
“Although her abuser eventually disappeared, that does not take away the anguish we feel or the pain of her children who lost their mother,” the statement read. “We hope that sharing Nicole’s story will help others recognize the signs and get the help they need, and that her legacy will live on.”
In the documentary, Denise claimed that OJ verbally attacked her sister by referring to her as a “fat pig” when she was pregnant. She also claimed that he had grabbed Nicole’s crotch in public view in 1989. She then declared, “This belongs to me.”
Denise went on to allege that Nicole suffered years of abuse from OJ. She added that he threw her sister against a wall and threw her out of her home in the late 1980s.
