Nicole Brown Simpson’s Sister Reveals the Item She Kept From the Night O.J.’s Ex Was ‘Slaughtered’

Tanya Brown is revealing the one item she still has that belonged to her older sister, Nicole Brown Simpson, before her 1994 murder.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, February 24, Tanya shared a photo of Nicole displayed on her refrigerator. In the photo, Nicole is wearing a blue shirt, has her blonde hair down, and she’s wearing a diamond earring.

“The only thing I have of my sister, Nicole is this diamond earring that she was slaughtered in,” Tanya captioned the photo.

Tanya’s post garnered emotional reactions online. “I’m so sorry that it’s all you have of Nicole,” one user commented, adding, “You deserve more.”

“I was 12 years old when this happened and my heart still aches for your family,” said another.

Others recalled how “beautiful” Nicole was.

Nicole was just 35 years old when she and friend Ron Goldman were brutally killed outside her Brentwood, California, home in June 1994. Nicole’s ex-husband, O.J. Simpson, was charged with the murders, but was later acquitted by a jury. O.J. died on April 11, 2024, after battling prostate cancer.

Tanya’s post comes weeks after it was revealed that O.J. and Nicole’s daughter, Sydney Simpson, is living in St. Petersburg, Florida, in a small, two-bedroom condo. She was 8 years old when her mother was murdered.

“It’s lower-income, they’re poor. They’re on Medicare, Medicaid, you know, SNAP [benefits] if they can get them. There’s no job opportunities — there’s nothing in that section of town. Then you get into Downtown and head north, and that’s where the money is,” a man named Peter Gaunt — who has lived in the neighborhood for decades — told The New York Post of the area.
