OJ Simpson reportedly made his children sign NDAs in final days, Internet says 'that's messed up'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: OJ Simpson didn’t trust his close ones and had them sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA), including his children and visitors, as he lay on his deathbed

As per TMZ, the former running back didn’t want others to disclose his death, other than the estate.

Visitors and children had to sign NDAs

According to sources, Simpson spent his last days with few friends and family members. Around 30 and 50 visitors came to meet him, including his four children Sydney, Justin, Jason, and Arnelle. 

The NFL icon shared Sydney and Justin with Nicole Brown Simpson, while Jason and Arnelle were his kids from his first marriage with Marguerite Whitley.

The outlet also claimed that every visitor had to sign NDAs and wasn’t allowed to carry phones while entering his room.

The announcement of his death was made on April 10, through Simpson’s social media account, per The Mirror.

“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren,” the tweet read.

“During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace, The Simpson Family, the tweet concluded.

Earlier, Simpson had quashed rumors claiming that he was in hospice. In his post on X, he said in a video, "Hospice? Hospice? You talking about hospice? No, I'm not in any hospice. I don't know who put that out there. I guess it's like Donald [Trump] says, 'You can't trust the media'.”

He added, "In any event, I'm hosting a tonne of friends of the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is Well, you know. So take care, have a good Super Bowl weekend."

OJ Simpson is considered an NFL icon 

Simpson was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1973 and led the league in rushing yards four times.

He went on to become the first player in league history to cross 2,000 rushing yards, which he achieved in just 14 games in 1973.

Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend in 1994 but was acquitted after the trial.

Reactions on social media

Social media users also reacted to the reports of visitors, who came to bid their goodbyes to OJ Simpson, being made to sign NDAs. 

One user wrote on X, "He likely didn’t want the chance of media being alerted to his dire situation and causing chaos while living out his final days with his family."

Another said, "That's messed up, bro. like, really messed up. ngl, oj simpson is a whole other level of controversial of. shocking, tbh."

"Well I don’t think he’ll sue them at this point…" one joked. Another agreed, "I mean who’s gonna sue them if tell everyone he did it."

One reasoned, "Why would someone do this unless they're going to confess something they don't want to be spoken about."
