The estate of O.J. Simpson has filed a lawsuit against the controversial NFL star's youngest son, Justin Simpson, for allegedly moving into his father's home after he died without getting permission to do so.
As reported by TMZ, attorney Malcolm LaVergne, who represents O.J.'s estate, is taking legal action against the company owned by Justin Simpson, Primary Holdings, LLC. The legal documents state that the company purchased the home after O.J.'s death to stop creditors from seizing the property, but Justin allegedly moved in after his father's death and is refusing to vacate or pay back his estate for payments they made on the property.
Malcolm LaVergne claims that O.J. made payments for the house—which is located in Kendall, Florida—and did not want it to be separate from the estate. Justin has been accused of moving into the house despite owning his own property nearby, contradicting his father's will.
Creditors of the estate are seeking the $33.5 million judgment owed to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, who O.J. was found liable for the 1994 deaths of in 1997. Interest on the judgment, which remained unpaid at the time of O.J.'s death last year, has raised the amount owed to roughly $100 million. Following the 1997 civil trial verdict, O.J. moved to Florida because pensions and residences aren't seized to collect debts in the state.
Justin Simpson is one of the two children O.J. had with ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. In 1994, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death outside of her home in Los Angeles. The late NFL star and actor was controversially acquitted of the murder the following year after an extensive trial.
