O.J.’s daughter has publicly accused him of taking Nicole Brown’s life
One of the best things about the internet is we have access to almost everything at the touch of a button. Sadly, this can also be a downside. One of the many things Sydney has had a chance to do throughout the years is research everything that happened when her mom lost her life and during O.J. Simpson’s trial.
Sydney has never held back about her father, even going as far as to publicly state that she believes O.J. is the one who ended Nicole Brown’s life. As if that wasn’t enough, she even called 911 on her dad when she was just 17 and accused Simpson of violent behavior before claiming it was a domestic dispute.
An attack seemingly prompted Sydney to change her name and move
For a time, it seemed that Sydney Simpson wanted to keep as far away from the rest of her family as possible. Sadly, it appears the apple usually never falls far from the tree and has fed even more into the idea that O.J. or his son are the ones behind the horrific crimes. Why?
It turns out Sydney has also had a brush with the law. In 2005, she was accused of attacking two teenagers and only stopped when the police arrived to remove her from the situation. That was seemingly enough to see Sydney put her family behind her. At 29, she apparently changed her name and now remains out of the limelight.
O.J. Simpson has been in trouble with the law several times
His brush with the law during the trial involving Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman was far from O.J. Simpson’s only time on the wrong side of the law. In fact, he’s been in trouble more times than many can count. In 2001, O.J. was arrested for burglary and battery and faced 16 years in prison but was acquitted.
The same year, the former athlete was also accused of money laundering and possessing illegal substances and was later sued in federal court for the charges. However, the most unusual crime came in September 2007, when the Palace Station hotel and casino in Las Vegas was robbed with weapons. Simpson was questioned and admitted to being involved.
The Las Vegas robbery ultimately saw O.J. Simpson sent to prison
Although O.J. Simpson admitted to being involved in the burglary, he denied breaking into any hotel rooms and said no one was carrying a weapon. Apparently, he was there to get back sports memorabilia that he claimed had been stolen from him – the same things Simpson had to sell to pay his lawyers and the Goldman family.
Eventually, Simpson and three others were charged with multiple felonies, including assault, carrying a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, and criminal conspiracy. He faced a life sentence and was initially found not guilty. However, a retrial saw O.J. sentenced to 33 years in prison. The stretch started in 2008, but Simpson would be eligible for parole after nine years.
Arnelle Simpson was the one left in charge of O.J.’s finances
Sydney and Justin were often the talk of the headlines as they were the children that Nicole Brown left behind. Still, they were far from the only ones of O.J. Simpson’s kids caught up in it all. In fact, his eldest, his daughter Arnelle, was often left facing much of the brunt, especially during O.J.’s legal troubles.
That’s because Arnelle was in charge of the family’s finances and was granted O.J.’s NFL pension after he was sent to prison. The problem? A large portion of the money had to go toward covering her dad’s legal fees. Plus, it’s reported that Arnelle lost the rest as she battled with her own substance and shopping addictions.
Being O.J. Simpson’s eldest daughter means Arnelle is the most recognized
The financial duties she faced were just the first in a long list of things that fell on Arnelle’s shoulders following the passing of Nicole Brown and all of her father’s legal troubles that followed. Being O.J.’s oldest child meant she was often the one most recognized when she left the house and was frequently in the headlines.
Arnelle was also in charge of handling most of the family’s affairs, a job she never asked for. In the end, she tried out a host of career options, including working as a fashion producer and rapper throughout the years. Sadly, the pressure of being in the limelight and living in her father’s shadow was a lot to handle.
