Simpson’s children ‘made to sign NDAs’ before his death

O J SIMPSON’S children were made to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements in the days leading up to his death, it has been claimed.

According to the celebrity website TMZ, NDAs were required of his entire family, including the two children Sydney, 38, and Justin, 35, he had with Nicole Brown Simpson.

Nicole was Simpson’s ex-wife whom he was accused of murdering, along with her friend, Ron Goldman, in June 1994. He was later acquitted in the “trial of the century” a year later. In 1997, he was found liable for their deaths in a civil case and ordered him to pay $33.5million to their families.

TMZ reported that Simpson’s family had been warned of his approaching death, described to relatives as a “transition”, a week prior and that 30-50 people visited him in his last days.

It is not clear what the alleged NDA covered, but it may explain why the death of the 76-year-old, who had prostate cancer, came as a surprise to those outside his circle of immediate family and friends. The death of the NFL player and double-murder suspect sparked international media coverage and a renewed focus on his murder trial, in which prosecutors famously failed to conclusively tie a bloody glove found at the crime scene to him.

In a since-corrected obituary, The LA

Times erroneously reported that it was Donald Trump, not Simpson, who was released from prison in 2017 after serving 9 years of a 33-year sentence for his part in a sports memorabilia heist.

“Long before the city woke up on a fall morning in 2017, Trump walked out of Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, a free man for the first time in nine years,” the obituary originally read. The mistake, described as a “typographical error” in an editor’s note, triggered accusations of wishful-thinking.

The White House’s reaction to Simpson’s death also raised eyebrows. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters: “Our thoughts are with his families during this difficult time, obviously with his family and loved ones.”

“I know they have asked for some privacy and so we’re going to respect that. I’ll just leave it there,” she added. She made no mention of Nicole Brown Simpson or Goldman.
