The American football player died last April at the age of 76
The player of American football OJ Simpson he died in April this year, in 76 years old. He, a victim of cancer, left an exorbitant amount of debts to pay off. Now, his lawyers intend to sell Simpson’s assets to repay the large sums, estimated at more than $100 million (about R$594 million).
What attracts attention in this case are the items that are to be auctioned. At TMZ, the lawyer Malcolm LaVergne — executor of the athlete’s estate — revealed that he will auction the collection of pornographic magazines that OJ collected during his time in prison. In 2008, the sportsman was arrested for kidnapping and armed robbery. It was only released in 2017, almost a decade later.
According to the lawyer, OJ was fond of pornography and owned a large collection of magazines. The situation, however, becomes even stranger. LaVergne said he is considering auctioning off the condoms left behind by the athlete, but has not yet made a decision on the matter.
In addition to the bizarre items, a property left behind by Simpson will also be up for auction. The house is valued at $269,000 (about R$1.5 million) and can help pay off debts, but doesn’t come close to paying them off. Lawyer expects the auction to take place in early 2025.
Despite a long and successful career in American football, OJ Simpson became famous in the United States due to the trial involving the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and a friend, Ron Goldman, in 1994.
With the right to escape film and a media trial, OJ was acquitted, but the result was extremely controversial and influenced by the racial tensions experienced in the United States.
In 1997, a civil jury awarded damages of $33 million (about R$196 million in current prices) to the families of OJ’s victims. The action found him guilty of the attack on the two and Goldman’s death. The payment, which has not yet been made, is one of the reasons why the athlete’s debts are so high.
