Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters break their silence on OJ’s ‘complicated’ death

Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters have broken their silence on the death of her ex-husband, OJ Simpson.

OJ, who was famously accused and later acquitted of the death of Nicole in the ’90s, “succumbed to his battle with cancer” last month at the age of 76 — and Dominique Brown, Tanya Brown and Denise Brown have mixed emotions.

“It’s very complicated,” Dominique, 59, told People Wednesday, as Tanya, 54, added, “This is a person who’s been in our life for a very long time, who wreaked havoc on our family. It’s like the end of a chapter.”

Dominique and Denise said Nicole introduced them to OJ in 1977 when the aspiring model and photographer was 18.

Dominique told the outlet she thought OJ was “amazing” after watching the Buffalo Bills running back play football.

However, “all hell broke loose when we came home that night,” Denise recalled, as OJ “flipped out” over seeing Nicole kiss a mutual male friend on the cheek at the Game.

“He had her upstairs in the bathroom, crying. He said, ‘You embarrassed me.'”

Dominique noted that Nicole “thought that everything would be different having a child” after the latter got pregnant with her and OJ’s daughter, Sydney Simpson, now 38.

But according to the sisters, things only got more volatile.

“She was pregnant, and he was calling her a fat pig,” Denise, 66, recalled, admitting that she “thought they were isolated incidences.”

However, when she got word that Nicole had been stabbed to death in June 1994 at the age of 35, she said her response was, “Oh my God, he did it. He finally did it.”

Meanwhile, Tanya explained that she was convinced OJ was responsible when DNA evidence — including blood found in his white Bronco and at his house — was introduced at his 1995 trial for the murders of Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.

Dominique, for her part, refused to say whether she thought the NFL star was culpable “because of the children.”

Sydney and her brother, Justin Simpson, now 35, were upstairs sleeping at Nicole’s Brentwood, Calif., condo when the blond beauty and Goldman, then 25, were killed in the courtyard.

At the time of her gruesome death — two years after ending her seven-year marriage to OJ — Nicole was apparently thriving.

“What no one knows she experienced before her death is freedom,” Dominique said. “There was this levity about her. She was glowing.”

Tanya added that Nicole “had a good time the last two years of her life.”

Though OJ was acquitted of the double murders, the athlete was deemed liable for Nicole and Goldman’s deaths in a lawsuit later filed by the families of the slain.

OJ reportedly died of prostate cancer and was “surrounded by his children and grandchildren” at the time.

He was last photographed smiling at a Las Vegas restaurant in February shortly after denying reports that he had entered hospice care.

In addition to Sydney and Justin, OJ is survived by two children — daughter Arnelle Simpson, 55, and son Jason Simpson, 54 — from his first marriage to Marguerite Whitley.

OJ was predeceased by his and Whitley’s daughter Aaren Simpson, who drowned in the family’s swimming pool in 1979 at the age of 1.
