O.J. Simpson’s estate is suing the late NFL star’s son, Justin Simpson, for allegedly moving into his dad’s house and refusing to leave. The lawsuit was filed by attorney Malcolm LaVergne, the special administrator of O.J.’s estate, against Primary Holdings, LLC, which is owned and operated by Justin Simpson.
TMZ reports that LaVergne claims Justin’s Primary Holdings purchased O.J. Simpson’s house when he died in order to protect his dad’s financial interests and shield the property against creditor claims. At no point, according to LaVergne, did the deal include Justin Simpson actually moving into the house.
Justin, however, claims that because he is the owner of Primary Holdings, which owns the house, he can do whatever he wants with it now, including living in it. So now, he is refusing to leave the home or pay the estate back the payments O.J. Simpson made on the home even after the sale. LaVergne also claims that Justin Simpson living in the home is in direct contradiction to what “The Juice” put in his will.
Since O.J. Simpson’s death, Malcolm LaVergne turned the former NFL star’s cremated remains into jewelry which was split up among his Simpson’s four adult children. He also initially strongly opposed paying the Goldman family any of the tens of millions of dollars that O.J. owed them for the death of their son Ron Goldman, saying, “It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing.” He later walked back that stance, saying it “was pretty harsh.”
In August of 2024, LaVergne claimed O.J.’s estate was virtually worthless after the state of California filed a tax lien against it for over $572,000. This was after the estate attempted to auction off the Heisman Trophy that Simpson won while playing college football at USC in in an effort to raise money to pay off the debt to the Goldman family.
