Former NFL player, actor, and infamous figure O.J. Simpson has shocked the world with news of his health condition.
Reportedly diagnosed with prostate cancer, the 74-year-old addressed rumors of being in hospice care but didn’t directly confirm the diagnosis. Instead, Simpson denied the hospice claims and assured his followers on social media that he was hosting friends for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Simpson’s legal history, including his infamous 1995 trial for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, adds a complex layer to this news. Despite his acquittal in the criminal trial, he was found liable for their deaths in a civil case.
Following legal troubles in 2008, including a conviction for armed robbery in Nevada, Simpson served nine years in prison before being paroled in 2017. Recent photos show him using a cane and looking frail.
Additionally, Simpson made headlines with a controversial joke about confessions during a podcast appearance, sparking further attention amid his health battle.
