Variety Power of Women event in New York City, the sisters of Nicole Brown Simpson—Denise, Tanya, and Dominique—stood together to pay homage to their beloved sister, whose life was tragically cut short nearly three decades ago.
Nicole Brown Simpson, known for her resilience in the face of adversity, continues to inspire through the efforts of her devoted sisters. At the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, Denise, speaking on behalf of her family, reflected on Nicole’s enduring legacy. “We lost Nicole almost 30 years ago,” she solemnly remarked.
The memory of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, who were brutally murdered on June 12, 1994, still resonates deeply. Nicole, aged 35 at the time of her death, had repeatedly sought help from the authorities due to domestic violence inflicted by her former husband, O.J. Simpson.

Denise, addressing the audience, highlighted Nicole’s remarkable strength amidst adversity. “Nicole endured incredible pain, and through that pain, she was able to protect her children,” Denise affirmed. “She walked away from her abuser. She was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a friend—a woman whose life was tragically cut short.”
The commitment to preserving Nicole’s memory extends to a forthcoming Lifetime docu-series, “The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” set to premiere in June. Denise, who has long advocated for a platform to amplify Nicole’s voice, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to share her sister’s story authentically.
In addition to her advocacy for domestic violence victims, Denise Brown played a pivotal role in the passage of the Violence Against Women Act—a landmark legislation aimed at protecting and supporting survivors. At the Variety event, attended by luminaries such as Glenn Close, Nicky Hilton, Tamron Hall, and Melissa Joan Hart, Denise underscored the importance of ongoing efforts to combat gender-based violence.
The Simpson case, often dubbed “the trial of the century,” remains a focal point of public interest, particularly following O.J. Simpson’s recent passing from metastatic prostate cancer. Yet, amidst the media scrutiny, the enduring legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson serves as a beacon of courage and resilience.
Among the honorees at the event were acclaimed producer Shonda Rhimes, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay, Brazilian singer Anitta, and comedian Amy Schumer—all recognized for their contributions to empowering women and advocating for social change.
As the sisters of Nicole Brown Simpson continue to honor her memory and champion the cause she held dear, their commitment to justice and empowerment serves as a testament to the enduring power of sisterhood and solidarity.
