Nicole Brown's sister dreading OJ Simpson making Hollywood comeback now he's free

OJ Simpson is a free man after his parole period was ended last month due to good behaviour.

And the sister of his murdered ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson fears he may now resurrect his Hollywood acting career.

The ex NFL player turned actor, 74, was banged up in 2008 for leading a group of armed men into a Las Vegas hotel room to steal memorabilia from people he claimed had pinched it from him.

He was found guilty of 12 charges including assault, kidnapping and robbery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 33 years in prison but only served nine.

The former athlete - real name Orenthal James Simpson - had been on parole since 2017 and was due to continue to be so until February 2022 until his parole ended last month.

Prior to the robbery, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman were brutally killed on the doorstep of her home in June 1994 and OJ was later arrested and famously acquitted after a trial.

However, Goldman's father later filed a civil suit against Simpson and he was found to be responsible for the deaths of the pair.

Nicole's sister Tanya Brown told TMZ she thinks OJ "doesn't deserve a second chance" especially in "Hollywood", where she believes he'll try and resurrect his acting career.

She said while most people deserve redemption, OJ is not in that category - because he was found liable for killing her sister and hasn't shown any remorse whatsoever, as far as she believes.

Tanya claims OJ hasn't done much to show he's changed and probably doesn't think he's done anything wrong.

She claims he will make a beeline for Tinseltown - but is praying he will be 'shunned in Hollywood'.

Tanya's also alleges LA has a 'bad rep' when it comes to honouring women and told how she wouldn't be surprised if they take OJ in with open arms.

She said it would be a true shame if he is accepted in Hollywood.

After the civil trial verdict OJ was ordered to pay millions to the dead couple's families.

OJ often documents his life on social media and funds his lavish lifestyle using his NFL pension.

He's has believed to have bagged around $600,000 from the pension.

OJ is also believed to be making cash by signing sports memorabilia, and it is estimated he can make up to $400 per autograph.

OJ Simpson's representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment.
