A new docuseries about Nicole Brown Simpson, produced by her sisters, will reveal how her murder went on to help others affected by domestic violence.
Brown Simpson’s sisters Dominique, Tanya, and Denise Brown appeared on ABC’s The View Friday ahead of the release of their docuseries, The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. The two-part documentary will air Saturday and Sunday on Lifetime, two weeks before the anniversary of Brown Simpson’s death. The sisters hope it will help change Brown Simpson’s reputation.
“You know what, the best thing about all of this is, and I mean, I’m sorry it had to take my sister, or our sister to make these changes, is that diaries are admissible in court now. The Violence Against Women Act was passed,” Denise Brown said. “And the 24-hour domestic violence hotline.”
In 1994, Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found brutally murdered in Brown Simpson’s home. Both suffered several knife wounds. Her estranged husband, former NFL star O.J. Simpson, was charged for their murders but was acquitted. The Goldmans won in civil court after filing a wrongful death lawsuit against him in 1997. A white jury, a stark difference from the majority-black jury during the 1995 trial, ordered Simpson to pay the Goldmans $33.5 million in damages.
“I think people remember Nicole as a body at the bottom of a staircase covered by a white bloody sheet and a battered woman and the wife of [O.J.] Simpson,” Tanya Brown said. “And Nicole was a daughter, a sister, a really good wife, and a really good mom, and she was a human being who walked this Earth and she was wonderful.”

Simpson died in April due to complications from cancer. He shared two children with Brown Simpson.
Dominique Brown said she was “devastated” by the news of Simpson’s death despite knowing he had hit Brown Simpson while they were married long before her death. She lamented that her sister and Simpson’s children lost their father and mother.
