In the wake of O.J. Simpson’s passing, a flurry of shocking allegations has emerged, casting yet another shadow over the controversial figure’s legacy. The former NFL star, who found himself at the center of one of the most notorious murdеr trials of the 20th century, died after a prolonged battle with cancer at the age of 76. However, it’s the revelations that have surfaced posthumously that are now grabbing headlines and stirring the pot of public opinion once more.
According to reports, in his final days, Simpson’s visitors were required to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), hinting at the preservation of secrets even in death. This requirement for NDAs raises eyebrows and questions about what Simpson and those close to him may have wished to keep out of the public domain. It’s a move that seems to underscore the complexity and controversy that followed Simpson throughout his life and now, seemingly, into his death.
Adding fuel to the fire, a viral post from an individual claiming to be a former University of Southern California (USC) employee alleges that Simpson was involved in sеxual assault incidents during his tenure at the university. The post, authored by a user identifying as ‘Nicole Minet’—a name that references a famed French resistance fighter—claims that Simpson’s legal representatives, including Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian, visited the USC Topping Student Center with the intention of quashing accusations against Simpson. These alleged assaults were said to have taken place on campus, and there’s speculation that USC might have concealed the allegations to protect its reputation, given Simpson’s status as a celebrity alumnus.
I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative…

The anonymous poster further claimed that efforts were made to erase all records of the allegations, fearing negative repercussions for Simpson’s public image, especially as he faced accusations of assaulting and murdеring his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Following Simpson’s death, the poster stated she no longer felt bound by the nondisclosure agreement she had previously signed, prompting her to break her silence.
These revelations come years after Simpson’s acquittal in the murdеr trial of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman—a trial that captivated the nation and was dubbed “The Trial of the Century.” Despite being found not guilty, the trial left Simpson’s public image in tatters, sidelining him from lucrative business deals and endorsements he had enjoyed since retiring from professional football.
Simpson’s life post-trial was anything but quiet. In 2007, he was involved in the controversial book project “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killеr,” which speculated on how the murdеrs of Brown Simpson and Goldman could have been committed. The book’s announcement was met with fierce blowback, leading to its recall. Later, in 2013, Simpson was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 33 years in prison, though he was released after serving only nine.
These latest allegations add a new chapter to the O.J. Simpson saga, reminding us that the shadows of the past are long and complex. They also raise important discussions about the handling of s-xual assault allegations, the power dynamics at play in institutions like USC, and the broader implications of NDAs in silencing potential victims. As the public digests these new revelations, it’s clear that the debate over Simpson’s legacy, and the broader issues they touch upon, is far from over.
