O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson’s Kids: Where Are They Now?

Jason was accused of committing the murders

O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark came to the defense of Jason after rumors began circulating that he could have been the one who slayed Nicole and Goldman in cold blood. Clark said the accusations baseless. “I can’t even tell you how awful it is,” she told Today (via Inside Edition), calling the rumors “hideous.”

Some private investigators disagree, including Michael Alex Martin, who claimed he saw Jason with O.J. in the infamous Bronco the night Brown and Goldman were killed, reported Page Six. Another private investigator, Bill Dear, published a book titled O.J. is Innocent and I Can Prove it. Dear points to several acts of knife-related violence allegedly committed by Jason, including threatening a former employer and cutting an ex-girlfriend’s hair.

Jason was reportedly never considered a suspect.

Jason became a high-end chef

Jason gave up on his dreams of following his dad into the NFL after he reportedly discovered a passion for something totally unexpected—the culinary arts. He is now known as a high-end chef, but his road to the kitchen was not an easy one. Like Arnelle, Jason struggled with alcoholism (He was ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous after being caught driving under the influence.) He may have struggled with drugs and attempted suicide on multiple occasions, according to the National Enquirer.

By all accounts, Jason has managed to turn his life around in the years since his arrest and hospitalization, working in several well-respected kitchens, including the glitzy Italian restaurant St. Cecilia in Atlanta.

Sydney allegedly accused O.J. of killing her mom

Sydney Brooke Simpson and her father used to be inseparable when she was younger, even after her mother’s death. After the acquittal, reporters were allowed unfettered access to the Simpson household for a day-in-the-life piece on O.J., and journalists noted how close the pair seemed to be. That all changed as Sydney matured and was able to learn more about the events of that terrible night in 1994. Things reportedly came to a head during a public spat in which she allegedly shouted, “You murdered mom” at her father in front of stunned onlookers. From that point, the relationship seemed to deteriorate, as did Sydney’s behavior.

According to FOX News, a 19-year-old Sydney was arrested outside of a basketball game in 2005 after allegedly hitting two teenage girls and yelling profanities at police.
