Shortly after his death, a viral post on X, authored by, ‘Nicole Minet’—a nod to a famed French resistance fighter— claimed that Simpson may have been involved in sexual assault incidents during his tenure at the University of Southern California (USC). The woman alleged that she was employed at USC’s Topping Student Center in 1995, coinciding with Simpson’s infamous murder trial.
According to the post, Simpson’s legal representatives, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian, allegedly visited the student center with intentions to quash accusations that Simpson had assaulted two women on campus. The post suggests that USC might have concealed the allegations to protect its reputation, given Simpson’s status as a celebrity alumnus.
I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative…

The anonymous poster further claimed that the lawyers sought to erase all records of the allegations, fearing negative repercussions for Simpson’s public image, particularly as he faced accusations of assaulting and murdering his ex-wife. Breaking her silence following Simpson’s death, the woman stated that she no longer felt bound by the nondisclosure agreement she had signed.
“OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ’s friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day,” she wrote. “So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I’ll never forget holding that check.”

Simpson had experienced a minor resurgence online in recent years, hopping on social media to share his thoughts about various news of the day while offering commentary about the state of football. However, Simpson never escaped the shadow of his 1995 trial over the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
WATCH:
Dubbed “The Trial of the Century,” Simpson was acquitted of murder despite a tremendous amount of forensic evidence introduced by prosecutors and his iconic slow-speed fleeing from the police on a California highway in his white Bronco. Ushered to victory by his attack dog attorney Johnnie Cochran, Simpson’s team capitalized on Black anger toward the Los Angeles Police Department just several years after the city’s torrential riots following the beating of Rodney King.
Though he was found not guilty, the trial sidelined Simpson from taking lucrative business deals that he had enjoyed since retiring from professional football in 1979. In 2007 he advised a team of authors behind the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer” which hypothesizes who might have killed Brown Simpson and Goldman. An announcement of its forthcoming release prompted such fierce blowback that the book was never put up for sale; instead, News Corporation, which owned the publishing company, recalled approximately 400,000 copies and stored them away in a vault.
In 2013, Simpson was convicted of the armed robbery of sports memorabilia collectors and sentenced to 33 years in prison though was released after serving just nine.
