Over the years, there have been reports saying that Sydney and Justin Simpson, now in their 30s, were either estranged from their father or were ready to buy him a home to be near them in Florida.
FILE – In this May 13, 2013, file photo, O.J. Simpson appears at an evidentiary hearing in Clark County District Court, in Las Vegas. Los Angeles police are investigating a knife purportedly found some time ago at the former home of Simpson, who was acquitted of murder charges in the 1994 stabbing deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Shortly after midnight on June 13, 1994, Sydney and Justin Simpson, the children of Nicole Brown Simpson and ex-football great O.
Almost 30 years later, Sydney and Justin Simpson returned once again to be with their father in the final days before his death on Wednesday in Las Vegas,Not much is known about Sydney and Justin’s relationship with their father after he became one of the most polarizing — even reviled — men in America. While a Los Angeles jury found Simpson not guilty of killing their mother, he was found liable for her death and the death of Ron Goldman in a 1997 civil trial.
It turns out that everyone who visited Simpson before his death was expected to sign non-disclosure agreements, including his children as well as medical personnel who provided hospice care to a dying Simpson, TMZ reported. In all, somewhere between 30 to 50 people saw Simpson before he died and all signed NDAs, TMZ said.
When Simpson was on trial for their mother’s death, Sydney and Justin lived with their maternal grandparents, Lou and Judith Brown, who had temporary custody. When a newly acquitted Simpson sought to regain custody, the Browns fought back in court, with their attorneys focused on allegations of domestic abuse involving Simpson and the children’s mother,
In 2000, Simpson and his children decamped to Florida, where he bought a home in a gated community south of Miami and tried to settle into a quiet life, playing golf and living on pensions from the N.F.L., the Screen Actors Guild and other sources, about $400,000 a year,He also had been ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages from the civil trial, but Florida laws protected his home and pension income from seizure to satisfy court judgments, the New York Times also said.
Before Simpson was to be released on parole in October 2017, it was reported that he hoped to resume his life in Florida and reconnect with his four children. Butby Page Six, citing a new book by Tom Scotto, Simpson’s self-described friend and spokesman, said that Simpson only got along well with Arnelle, who gave a tearful testimony at his parole hearing. Simpson reportedly was estranged from Jason, Sydney and Justin, according to the book.
