According to a complaint, Justin Simpson, the son of O.J. Simpson, is accused of falsely claiming his late father’s house in Las Vegas.
The lawsuit was filed on January 6 against Justin Simpson’s business, Primary Holdings LLC, by Malcolm LaVergne, the special administrator of O.J. Simpson’s estate.
It claims that after his father passed away from cancer on April 10, Justin Simpson moved into the Arbour Garden Avenue property. Justin Simpson is the sole owner of Primary Holdings, which has allegedly refused to reimburse the estate for the money O.J. Simpson invested in the property.
On Tuesday, Justin Simpson was not immediately available for comment.
According to the lawsuit, Justin and the decedent came to an agreement for Primary Holdings to buy the house in August 2022 in order to safeguard the decedent’s assets and the Arbour Garden Property from creditors.
O.J. Simpson owed money to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman as well as the Internal Revenue Service at the time of his death. In a separate civil trial, he was found responsible for their deaths and sentenced to pay $33.5 million, despite being notably acquitted of their murders in 1995.
According to the lawsuit, Justin, Primary Holdings, and the decedent all recognized that Primary Holdings was merely the legal owner of the Arbour Garden Property and that the decedent was supposed to be the de facto owner. However, the lawsuit claims that Justin persuaded his sick father to have the Arbour Garden Property transferred to an organization under his sole control by using his expertise as a real estate agent.
The lawsuit claims that even though Primary Holdings had bought the property, O.J. Simpson kept up with house payments until his passing, including mortgage, utility, and other expenses.
LaVergne stated that Justin’s behavior is extremely self-centered to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
According to what LaVergne told the newspaper, Justin can either title the property to me and let me decide what to do with it, or he can write me a check for the amount paid down for the property and the equity, which is likely now around a quarter of a million dollars.
