The sisters of Nicole Brown , ex-wife of OJ Simpson , have broken their silence following the death of the disgraced NFL star. Tanya Brown, 54, Dominique Brown, 59, and Denise Brown, 66, say that he “wreaked havoc” on their family, and that his passing had left them with mixed emotions. Simpson’s death, they said, was “like the end of a chapter”.
Simpson, 76, died from prostate cancer on April 10 . He was infamously acquitted of murder in 1995 over the deaths of Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman in what was described as the “trial of the century” . Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, previously told The Independent , that Simpson’s death was a further reminder of how long his son has been gone, and how much he is missed.
“The only thing that is important today are the victims. Nothing else is important today,” he said, following the news. It is the first time that Brown’s family members have spoken publicly about Simpson’s death.
Speaking to People, Dominique said that the situation was “very complicated”. “This is a person who’s been in our life for a very long time, who wreaked havoc on our family. It’s like the end of a chapter,” said Tanya.
Both Denise and Dominique were introduced to Simpson in 1977, after Brown, who was 18 at the time, met the football player while working in a Los Angeles restaurant. He was “just her boyfriend to us,” Dominique said. The sisters said that Brown had been infatuated with Simpson, but that things ha.
