Arnelle Simpson, the daughter of football legend O.J. Simpson, was born on December 4, 1968, to O.J. and his first wife Marguerite Whitely.
She grew up with her siblings Jason and Aaren. Aaren tragically passed away at only 23 months old in 1979 after being pulled unconscious from the family’s swimming pool.
Despite the family’s tragedies, Arnelle remained close to her father throughout his tumultuous life. She supported him during his infamous trial in 1994, where he was accused of murdering his second wife, Nicole Brown.
Arnelle described him as “emotional” and “distraught” during that time. She also spoke out for her father during his parole hearing in 2017 after he was jailed for armed robbery in 2007, asking for his release so the family could “move forward”.
Arnelle has not been without her own struggles. In a 2014 interview with Georgia Newsday, she revealed that she had worked for a rapper and produced fashion shows, but was in the process of looking for a new job and life.
She expressed the family’s financial struggles, saying that all the money went to attorneys and the family home was lost.
Since then, there have been no recent reports on Arnelle’s career or personal life. However, she will always be remembered as a loyal daughter who stood by her father through thick and thin.
