Not long after his expired Bank of America credit card sold for a five-figure sum, more property of O.J. Simpson’s is now heading for auction. This includes his signed recital program from the day of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman’s murders.
According to TMZ, the program was for the dance recital of O.J. and Nicole’s daughter, Sydney. She had performed on June 12, 1994, at a Los Angeles junior high school. Her dance number was titled Footloose.
Simpson was asked by another member of the audience if he could sign the yellow, 8.5″ x 11″ dance recital program. He said yes and used a blue, ballpoint pen. The media outlet reported that the autograph has been graded a near mint 7 by PSA/NDA.
The program, which is currently up for auction at Lelands, has already been bid on nine times. The highest bid is just over $1,000. The auction will close on May 19.
Sydney’s dance recital was held just hours before Nicole was found dead outside her Brentwood condo. She and her friend Ron Goldman were stabbed dozens of times. Simpson was quickly deemed a suspect in the murders due to his hostile relationship with Nicole, who had filed for divorce two years before her infamous death.
In late 1995, O.J. was acquitted of murdering Nicole and Ron. However, two years later, he was deemed liable in their deaths during the civil lawsuit between him and the Browns and Goldmans.
Simpson died on April 10 at the age of 76 while battling prostate cancer.
Nicole Brown Simpson’s Sisters Reflect on Her Life As the 30th Anniversary of Her Death Nears
While attending the Variety Power of Women event last week, Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters Denise, Dominique, and Tanya took to the stage to reflect on her life leading up to her 1994 murder.
Nicole was known to be abused by O.J. Simpson during their seven-year marriage.
“Nicole endured incredible pain and through that pain, she was able to protect her children,” Denise said, per Page Six. “She walked away from her abuser. She was a daughter, she was a sister, she was a mother, she was a friend, she was a woman whose life was tragically cut short.”
The trio’s remarks come just weeks before the 30th anniversary of Nicole and Ron’s murders. The sisters are also participating in the upcoming Lifetime docu-series The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, which will air in June.
