What?? You’ll Never Believe the Reason O.J. Simpson’s Estate is Suing His Son Justin

Even after his death, O.J. Simpson is still finding himself in legal drama. This time, the former Buffalo Bills player’s estate is going after his son, Justin, for refusing to leave the house where Simpson— real name Orenthal James Simpson— spent his final days.

According to TMZ, Malcolm LaVergne, an attorney and special administrator of Simpson’s estate, has just filed a lawsuit against Primary Holdings, LLC, which is a real estate company Justin owns and operates, according to his Facebook.

Under Primary Holdings, LaVergne says Justin purchased Simpson’s Las Vegas house. The deal was originally made to “protect O.J.’s financial interests and shield the property against creditor claims,” reports TMZ, but now that the football legend is gone, things are getting tricky.

In the suit obtained by TMZ, LaVergne claims Justin fully moved into the Vegas estate after his father died, a move which allegedly goes against Simpson’s will. The lawyer even went as far as to claim Justin is refusing to vacate the property or reimburse the estate for alleged payments Simpson made before his death.

Justin’s argument is because he owns Primary Holdings, LLC and the company owns Simpson’s house, the house is now all his. But LaVergne is alleging Simpson never intended to separate the house from the rest of his estate, therefore, full control of the property should remain with the estate’s special administrator, who is LaVergne.

Also, the suit says Simpson was making payments on the house before he died, further tying the property to the greater estate, according to TMZ. LaVergne continued saying Justin is still living in the house, even though he has his own crib nearby. So why won’t he just leave? Well, according to the lawsuit, Simpson’s house is simply “nicer” than his son’s.

As The Root previously reported, Simpson died in April 2024 at 76 following a battle with cancer. At the time of his death, the notorious star’s net worth was an estimated $3 million, according to USA Today. Famously, Simpson was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, Justin’s mother, in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of all charges connected to the double homicide, but decades later, his legacy remains stained because of it.
