Earlier today, OJ Simpson's family took to his official Twitter/X account to announce that he's succumbed to his months-long battle with cancer. His passing has since garnered countless reactions from fans and critics alike, many of which revolve around his controversial legal battle in the 90s. For those who don't know, he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown, as well as her friend Ronald Lyle Goldman, at her Los Angeles home in 1994. After his arrest and highly publicized trial, OJ was acquitted.
Despite his acquittal, much of the public continued to believe that OJ was responsible for Brown and Goldman's deaths. Goldman's family, for example, later took OJ to civil court, where he was found liable for his and Brown's deaths and ordered to pay their loved ones millions. A majority of OJ's debt was not paid off prior to his passing.
