In 2019, O.J. Simpson ventured back into the spotlight by launching his own X, formerly known as Twitter, account. In the frequent videos he posted, Simpson appeared genial and nonplussed, having long since moved on from his murder trial. However, nearly everyone else hadn’t; more often than not, the word “disgraced” was used by news organizations when reporting on him.
In 2023, Simpson shared a health update. “In recent years — really recent years — I unfortunately caught cancer, and so I had to do the whole chemo thing,” he said in a video that he posted on X. In February 2024, he confirmed he was battling prostate cancer; in the video he posted on X, he denied reports that he was in hospice care. In his final post, shared just a few days later, he expressed optimism that he would be back on the golf course soon. “My health is good,” he said, adding, “Obviously I’m dealing with some issues, but, hey, I think I’m just about over it.” He died two months later.
In the aforementioned interview with The Athletic, Simpson was asked how he thought his obituary would read. “Wow. I hope it starts out with football. I know they’re going to add the other stuff,” he said, with that “stuff” referring to his infamous Los Angeles murder trial. “The LA thing, unfortunately, some people wrongfully believe something, but I moved on. I still think I’m a good guy.”
