O.J. Simpson's Exotic Personal Collection Is Being Auctioned Off
Hall of Fame running back and convicted felon O.J. Simpson passed away earlier this year with tons of debts to his name. To help pay off some of the remaining debts, a pretty interesting collection of personal items is going up for auction.
According to TMZ Sports, Simpson's attorney Malcolm LaVergne revealed that the former running back's prison pornography collection is going up for auction. Per the report, Simpson was "a huge fan of porn" and did extensive watching and reading while he was incarcerated in the 2010s. Though it remains a mystery how he was able to secure as much of it as he apparently did.
"Malcolm spills that Simpson was a huge fan of porn, both watching and reading it -- even while incarcerated. How he got his hands on the stack of magazines while serving time for his 2008 memorabilia theft case remains unclear, but it's no shocker inmates get their hands on this kinda content," the outlet reported.
The auction is reportedly planned for sometime in 2025. LaVergne is also planning on putting some of Simpson's unused condoms on the auction block as well. There's really no telling what kind of money - if any - the collection will likely yield at auction.
Simpson was acquitted in criminal court of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1995, but was subsequently found liable for their deaths in civil court. He was served a judgement of $33.5 million that he barely paid in the final 30 years of his life, which TMZ reports has risen to around $100 million due to interest.
Simpson also had no shortage of tax issues while he was living in California in 1990s and reportedly owes another $500,000 to the state via a tax lien.

In the 1960s Simpson was a star running back at USC. In the 70s he was one of the best running backs in the NFL. In the 1980s and early-1990s he was a movie star.
But after the slaying of his wife and Goldman in 1994, Simpson became a national pariah and his life spun out of control for the next decade, culminating in his conviction for robbery in 2008. He was released in 2017 and spent the final seven years of his life engaging with fans and friends on social media.
