Nicole Brown and her sisters
Nicole's sisters and her friends come together to talk about the buildup to Nicole Brown Simpson's death and its aftermath both topics of interest in the documentary The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson about what happened 30 years ago.
Denise Brown
Denise Brown, 66, is the eldest sister in the family. She was two years elder to Nicole and was close to her. Both had a clear resemblance to one another and began their careers as fashion models.
In the official trailer for the docuseries, Denise says, "She was my best friend and the one thing I could not protect her from was the monster she was married to."
Following Nicole's passing, Denise took up the fight against domestic abuse. Her bio on AAE Speakers states that she gave speeches on the subject and its frequently fatal consequences at colleges, jails, churches, and other locations.
Additionally, she founded the now-defunct Nicole Brown Foundation to aid women who had been abused. Denise also marched on Capitol Hill in 1995 to press senators to fully fund the Violence Against Women Act.
“It is the women whose deaths do not make it on the evening news who are counting on this Congress to do what is right,” she said, according to United Press International.
Denise is still a frequent public speaker on the subject today.
Dominique Brown
When Nicole passed away, Dominique Brown was 29 years old. She has since led a more secluded life than her sisters, but she intends to join them in reminding the world of the family member they lost so long ago in the Lifetime documentary series.
In the trailer, she is heard saying:"It's been 30 years, Maybe it's time to give Nicole another chance."
In contrast to her sisters, who both think Simpson killed Nicole, Dominique has never expressed her opinions in public.
While talking with PEOPLE, she said in reference to her niece and nephew — Nicole’s daughter, Sydney Simpson, 38, and son, Justin Simpson, 35, "Because of the children, I’m not going to answer."
Dominique had yet another terrible loss in 2022. Aaron Michael Brown, her only child, passed away at the age of 33. He was referred to in his obituary as "the light of his mother's life."
Tanya Brown
In the same way as Denise, Tanya Brown, 54, used the pain of losing Nicole to drive her work as a life coach and public speaker advocating against domestic abuse for people who require healing from their trauma.
She explained on her website that she tried su*cide in 2004 as a result of the "unhealthy coping mechanisms" she had developed following the 1995 murder conviction.
She learned how to assist both herself and others after her recovery. Her books Finding Peace Amid the Chaos: My Escape From Depression and Suicide and The Seven Characters of Abuse: Where It Starts and Where It Can End were released in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
