O.J. Simpson forever altered the lives of the Goldman and Brown families. While the Goldmans were suddenly and horrifically thrust into Simpson's universe, the Browns were intimately involved with the man they believed murdered these two people. When O.J. passed away on April 10, 2024, it was a strange feeling for all who knew him in whatever capacity that was.

Nicole's sister Dominique told People that it was "very complicated." On the one hand, it was the end of a devastating era but on the other, their sister's children also lost their father. For that reason, Dominique refused to comment on his passing. What many people might not know is, the two children he shared with Nicole where asleep in the house the night their mother was murdered.

Tanya, on the other hand, has zero problem speaking her mind on the subject. "This is a person who’s been in our life for a very long time, who wreaked havoc on our family," she said. He may be gone, but it's difficult to forget him. What they prefer to do is remember Nicole, especially in the last years of her life after O.J. was out of it.

"What no one knows she experienced before her death is freedom,” Dominique said. "There was this levity about her. She was glowing." Sadly there is a silver lining to this fatal story, and it's what was born from it. "The Violence Against Women Act was passed due to Nicole’s murder," Denise reminded People. "She is the root behind a lot of change. Unfortunately it took my sister’s life to make it happen."
