Arnelle Simpson’s Father O.J. Simpson Biography
Born Orenthal James Simpson on 9 July 1947, in San Francisco, California USA, he’s the son of Jimmy Lee Simpson and his wife Eunice.
His father, once a chef and a bank custodian, later turned into a drag queen and came out as gay; he eventually died of AIDS in 1986. His mother, on the other hand, was a hospital administrator. O.J. grew up in the housing projects of the Portero Hill Neighborhood, raised by his mother with his siblings, brother Melvin Leon and sisters Carmelita Simpson-Durio, and Shirley Simpson-Baker, as their parents divorced in 1952. He had a rather tough childhood and spent some time with the Persian Warriors, a gang notable in the Portero Hill neighborhood, which led to a time at Francisco Youth Guidance Center, and was arrested two more times before he was straightened out by Willie Mays.
O.J. attended Galileo High School where he played for the Galileo Lions football team, and later enrolled at the City College of San Francisco, transferring to the University of Southern California after a year. During his two seasons at USC, O.J. had 3,423 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns. His professional career began in 1969 when he was selected as the No. 1 pick overall by the Buffalo Bills in the NFL Draft. His rookie contract was worth $650,000 over five years, but his first five seasons were a disaster, as he couldn’t keep up with the experienced players. However, he was becoming better, and in 1972 had a breakthrough year, as he became the NFL rushing yards leader, a feat he repeated in 1973, 1975, and 1976.
O.J. played with the Bills until 1977, winning numerous accolades, including the NFL Most Valuable Player and NFL Offensive Player of the Year both in 1973, and five times Pro-Bowl selection from 1972 to 1976, among many other awards, including the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame induction. After the Bills, he played for the San Francisco 49ers in 1978, where he stayed until the end of the 1979 season – his last game was against the Atlanta Falcons, which the 49ers unfortunately lost. Following the end of his playing career, O.J. remained in the media, but this time as an actor and reality TV star. He appeared in over 30 films and TV series, while some of his most popular roles include as Nordberg in the “Naked Gun” film franchise from 1988 to 1994, and as the lead in the film “No Place to Hide”.
Moreover, he is known for his appearances in the reality TV show “Juiced”, a prank show with a hidden camera. He would prank regular people every day, and once the prank ended would yell “You’ve been Juiced”. Unfortunately, his later popularity comes from the murder trials he was subjected to, as the main suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Nichole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. Five days following the murders, O.J. was arrested in the aftermath of a low-speed pursuit by police. Eventually, O.J. was acquitted of charges and became a free man, which divided the country between those who believe in his innocence and those who don’t.
Nevertheless, O.J. had further problems, first financial as he had to pay over $30 million to the families of Brown and Goldman after a civil lawsuit, and he was later arrested and found guilty of assault, robbery, kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, and for using a deadly weapon in an attempted robbery, after he and several other men entered a room at the Palace Station hotel-casino, and stole sports memorabilia while holding people at gunpoint. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison, but was released after just nine years, and was made a free man on the 1st October 2017.
