The upcoming Lifetime documentary, “The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” sheds light on the fear Nicole had been living with before her tragic death in 1994, according to her sister Denise Brown.
Nicole’s family members break their silence in the documentary, hoping to share her experiences before her mysterious murder. Recounting instances of alleged abuse at the hands of O.J. Simpson, Nicole’s sisters reveal that she kept a journal chronicling each incident, reflecting her constant fear of her husband.
“She always thought he was going to hurt her,” a voiceover of one of Brown’s sisters can be heard playing in the trailer over footage of the late woman’s life. “She always knew it.”
Despite Nicole’s repeated calls to the police during their marriage, Simpson was arrested only once for spousal abuse, to which he pleaded “no contest.” However, Nicole dropped the charges against him. Even after filing for divorce in 1992, citing irreconcilable differences, the abuse reportedly continued.
Who is Nicole? Who is she? Because she got lost in this whole thing,” one sister says.
Another sister adds, “She wasn’t just a headline of a tragedy – she was so much more.”
The documentary aims to provide Nicole’s perspective, which her family feels was overshadowed during Simpson’s highly publicized trial. It offers a platform for her relatives to share their side of the story and highlight the fear and abuse Nicole endured before her tragic death.
