His mother Marguerite Whitley, born on March 20th, 1949 was once a clerk at the Walmart retail store. As for her education, Whitley went to Galileo High School. She later graduated from the University of Southern California.

And talking about her mother’s relationship status, Whitley married two times. She first tied the knot with a transit supervisor Randolph Lewis in 1986. They divorced in 1991. A year after their separation, Marguerite married third time Anthony Thomas.

Jason’s sister Aaren tragically died

It was one of the most devastating moments in the Simpson family. O. J. and his wife lost their youngest child in a tragic accident and that too when the kid was only one year old. She died after drowning in the family’s swimming pool.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the family, just like they used to, were hanging out in their backyard. All of a sudden, both O. J. and his wife left their infant daughter unattended and she fell in the swimming pool. They later discovered her unconscious and although they tried their best to revive her by doing CPR, it was already too late.

Jason Simpson is linked to the murder of his step-mother Nicole

After his parents separated, his dad married, Nicole Brown, whom he met at a nightclub named The Daisy. After a short time, the pair tied the knot on February 2, 1985. The couple remained in a marital bond for seven years before divorcing in 1992. From their marriage, the couple became a parent of two kids, Sydney Brooke Simpson and Justin Ryan Simpson.

Tragedy struck in the life of Nicole Brown when she was murdered alongside one of her male friends, Ron Goldman. It was on June 12th, 1994 when she was found dead at her residence in Los Angeles, California. At the time authorities arrested Simpson after they found a bloodied glove in his backyard.

After several trials, the court acquitted Orenthal of all the crimes. But to this day, there are many speculations that Jason might be the one who murdered his stepmother. Rumors like these came to prominence due to Jason’s troubled past. From assault to possession of dangerous weapons, he has done it all.

Jason has two step-siblings

His dad Orenthal has two children from his second marriage to Nicole, one daughter named Sydney Brooke Simpson and one son named Justin Ryan Simpson. To this day, there’s one thing that many people are curious to know and that is whether the Simpson siblings are close to one another or not.

Although all four of them have appeared in a number of public events in the past, nowadays they aren’t seen very much together.

Jason Simpson was a troubled child from an early age

We all know how divorces are. It not only separates two people but also creates a rift between them and this divide is always harsh on the kids, especially when they are just young.

Likewise, when O. J. and his first wife Marguerite separated, their kids were teenagers. Although the older one of the brood turned out pretty well, their son Jason didn’t bode well with the separation.

Now many of us know how people mix themselves up with drugs and alcohol whenever they are faced with adversities. Similarly, Jason also mixed himself up with alcohol and drugs, and that too when he was just a teenager. Due to his addiction, he used to have uncontrolled anger and violent outbursts more often than not. In order to contain his mental troubles, he was admitted to the UCLA Neuro-Psychiatric Institute for Mental Conditions. He was later diagnosed with ‘Intermittent Rage Disorder.’

It is all due to such mental health issues that people, to this day, accuse Jason of murdering his stepmother and her friend.

He tried to commit suicide multiple times

Aside from his other troubles, Jason also gave his family a lot of trouble due to his suicidal tendency. Throughout his adolescent life, he tried to kill himself a number of times.

One time he tried cutting his arms while on the other hand, he tried overdosing on Depakote.
