Sydney Simpson spent the past 30 years keeping a low profile, trying to detach herself from the highly publicized incident that involved a live broadcast of a low-speed police pursuit of a white Ford Bronco on a California highway.<\/p>\n
You may know Sydney as the adorable daughter of OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson.<\/p>\n
Her father, once a football star, was the passenger in that SUV and was trying to outrun the law after her mother, Nicole Brown and her friend, were found stabbed to death. Reports today have confirmed that OJ passed away after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
Sydney, who was a young girl at the time, was pictured everywhere with her mom and dad, and growing up, she tried to outrun the prying public, going so far as to change her name.<\/p>\n
Nicknamed \u201cJuice\u201d because of his fierce sprints, Orenthal \u201cOJ\u201d Simpson retired as a professional football player in 1980 and married Nicole Brown , whom he met while he was married to his first wife.<\/p>\n
Wed in 1985 after an almost eight-year relationship, OJ, now 76, and Nicole added to his brood of two surviving children from his first marriage with the birth of daughter Sydney Simpson, born in 1985, and Justin Ryan Simpson who was born in 1988.<\/p>\n

\nBefore tragedy struck, Sydney and Justin were already living in the spotlight with their father, a Heisman-winning footballer, and actor, recognized internationally for his athletic achievements.<\/p>\n
The tumultuous relationship between the football hall of famer and Nicole lasted about seven years and accusations swirled about OJ\u2019s spousal abuse.<\/p>\n
Filing for divorce in 1992, the two attempted to reconcile in 1993, which proved to be a fatal decision for Nicole, who within a year of abandoning the abusive relationship, was found dead outside her Brentwood, California condo, where she lived with Sydney and Justin.<\/p>\n
On June 13, 1994, Nicole, who was 35, was stabbed several times in the neck and scalp, her throat gashed. Lying next to her was her 25-year-old-friend, Dan Goldman, who was also killed.<\/p>\n
