Nicole is the ex wife of OJ the professional football player and actor. Nicole and OJ began talking when she was only 18 and OJ was around 20 or 30 I believe. In the beginning of there relationship they were a very happy couple and everyone admired them. As time passed he began to beat her and control her so she got tired and ended up leaving him. When she had left him he go very bad and when she would see other people he would show up and say "she is mine she is my wife!" No one would have ever thought that OJ had this in him and they couldn't believe it. On June 12, 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend were murdered at her LA house and everyone suspects that OJ had something to do with it due to the fact that he would follow Nicole and he would even hide behind bushes. Which is why he is a suspect.https://www.biography.com/crime-figure/nicole-brown-simpson
Nicole suffered OJ’s beatings for years before she finally left him. I think it was so hard for her to leave because she was dependent on their relationship financially and psychologically, she was worried people would side with him, and she wanted her kids to have a normal life. Because they got together when Nicole was only 18, she (and the rest of her family) depended on OJ for money. However, for this reason, she was also dependent on him psychologically. For the majority of her life, she had been with OJ and he had been telling her how to dress and how to act. She never had the chance to decide things for herself and understand who she is and what she wants. Her relationship with OJ was her identity, so it was probably scary for her to leave him and lose this. She was also worried society would side with OJ. Everyone loved the Juice, so she knew that if she took him to court he would not only buy the best lawyers, but he would also use his signature charm to sway the courtroom. What’s even worse is that she was also worried that her family would side with him because they depended on him for money. She probably felt she would be alone if she tried to leave him. Lastly, she wanted her kids to have a “normal” home life, and that meant staying with OJ and pretending to be a happy mom and dad.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would have been incredibly hard for her to leave him when she was so heavily relying on him and trying to protect her kids. The sad part is that she believed that her family would side with OJ. It's easy to say that she should have left OJ when he was beating her, but looking at it from her perspective, it's anything but easy. OJ is one of the most two-sided person. In front of the media, he was loved, he was kind, caring etc. However, behind closed doors, he was an abuser and very violent. Nicole Brown was a victim partly, in my opinion, because she got with OJ when she was only 18. Because she was with him since she was only 18, OJ was a huge part of her life, and she was known as "OJ's wife" more than "Nicole Brown". It's sad to see that even her family was more concerned about the money and OJ providing for them than their own daughter who was being mistreated. I'm curious to know if Nicole ever opened up to her family about what would happen behind closed doors. Nicole was a very strong human being to put up with it to protect and care for her children. WHen she was being beat, her mind was on protecting her children and her family over herself. She was selfless, and an unfortunate victim to OJ's beatings and craziness.
ReplyDeleteNicole's death was really a tragedy. She had been trying to get away from her husband for years, but her family and the circumstances that had brought them together—in large part, OJ's fame—kept forcing her back into a toxic and destructive relationship. And her family was no small part in the process, since they relied heavily on OJ Simpson's income to provide for them. This made it hard for Nicole to get help, and harder still to make her family see OJ for who he really was. OJ's charisma and charm was his greatest tool in avoiding accountability for her suffering and, ultimately, her death.
