As per police reports, Nicole had to call the cops on Simpson many times claiming physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Simpson's numerous extra-marital relationships with many women provided more fuel to marital arguments. The two divorced in 1992 and shared the custody of the two children.
In 1993, they tried to reconcile. However, that did not work out as Nicole had to call the cops again, scared Simpson would hit her. They separated again and Nicole moved into a different home.
