Relationship with O. J. Simpson

Brown met O. J. Simpson in June 1977 while working as a waitress at a Beverly Hills nightclub, Daisy.[1] Although he was still married to his first wife Marguerite, Simpson and Brown began dating. Simpson and Marguerite divorced in March 1980.[2] Brown and Simpson were married on February 2, 1985, five years after his retirement from professional football.[3] They had two children together, Sydney Brooke (born October 17, 1985) and Justin Ryan Simpson (born August 6, 1988).[4] The marriage lasted seven years, during which Simpson pleaded no contest to spousal abuse in 1989.[5] Brown filed for divorce in 1992 citing "irreconcilable differences".[6]

In his hypothetical memoir If I Did It, Simpson describes Brown as having a dual personality-- one caring and another reflexively hostile. Simpson depicts Brown as often emotionally abusive and states that Brown would continuously argue with him, often over irrelevant and pointless things. Simpson also describes Brown as a habitual user of illegal drugs. Book ghostwriter/co-writer Pablo Fenjves later described Simpson's views as self-delusion.[7][8]

Murder

She was murdered at her home in Los Angeles, California, along with her friend Ronald Goldman. O. J. Simpson, her ex-husband, was arrested and found not guilty of murdering both her and Goldman in a controversial criminal trial. He was later found liable for the deaths in a civil suit brought by the families of the two victims.

After murder

In 1996, after the conclusion of the Orenthal James Simpson murder case, a judge granted Simpson's petition to give him full custody of the children.[9] Brown's parents continued unsuccessfully to fight for custody of Sydney and Justin.

In 1994, Nicole Brown's sister Denise established The Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation to help victims of domestic violence.[10]
