This has literally been the best week ever guys!O.J. Simpson, a one-time football star and actor who achieved infamy during his 1995 trial over the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and friend Ron Goldman, has died. His family confirmed the news via a post on his official Twitter/X account. He was 76 years old.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” the post begins. “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace."
Simpson was a figure who loomed large in the popular consciousness for over 50 years. Following his years playing for the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers, Simpson pivoted his fame toward Hollywood, achieving notoriety for his roles in the Naked Gun films. Of course, that career came to a halt in the 1990s amid the murder trial, but the trial received renewed interest in the 2010s with the release of both American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson and docuseries O.J.: Made In America.
