Welcome back to the From The Hart podcast! The goal of this show is to share stories and insight from real people that inspire and uplift us all. In this episode, Ed talks with speaker and advocate Denise Brown. Denise and her family were thrust into the limelight during the trial of the century in the late 90's. Since then she has been speaking about and advocating for domestic violence across the country and all over the world. Denise has a great story and we can't wait to share it with you. Sit back and get ready to be inspired!

She actually came to my high school and speak about her sister and about domestic violence she came right after the trial was over and it was an amazing experience til this day i still remember her coming to our school

Kudos for Denise for fighting the good fight!!

[@user-jy1xr1nh8s]

Yes , kudos , good job . But how about the other side of the medal ? In this murder story everybody is guilty . OJ alone or with someone else or not OJ but just someone else killed them . OK, who ever did this is bad , we get that and OJ has abused wife , OK , this is bad too. However , nobody wants to say that victims were not so good people either . Everyone wants to create some organizations etc for fighting domestic violence , abuse of women blah blah blah . Why nobody ever wants to mention how about raising children , especially female children right way , so that when they grow up do not jump on men just because they are rich, do not sleep with the guy same day they meet him for first time ? How about teaching your daughters that if they get divorce and especially have children not to sleep with many different men, drink, use drugs , drink and get drunk , get in argument with husband and then after some time blackmail him to get money for drugs and instead of keeping photos in safety box go to police press charges and sue the violent spouse or ex-spouse ? In Western countries everybody knows how to blame guys only but nobody cares what their daughters are doing . Children turn 18 and they are free to do anything they want and no parents interrupt saying : Oooh they are adults , they are responsible for everything themselves and they can go around do whatever they want to do . Nicole was not a good mother as media and people keep saying and Ron wasn't a good guy either . They drunk, used drugs like cocaine , slept with different people , loved to spend money all the time and wanted to have luxury lives only , their friends were not from very good, religious or scientific backgrounds either, all of them just sex partners using alcohol and drugs and God knows what else ..... Both victims' parents and sisters should have worried about them way earlier than murder took place . As long as they had money , nice lives , entertainment nobody cared if son sells drugs or daughter is on drugs and so on and so on. Sometimes it is only in person's hands to get bad end or not . They chose the wrong life styles from the very beginning . Period .

The resemblance is incredible

[@deniserossiter1059]

I was physically & mentally abused by my high school boyfriend. I literally had an experience just like the OJ on the football field situation. My ex was playing football & would look up into the stands to see what I was doing. Apparently I was talking to some guy (that I didn't even recall ) & lost his mind after we left the game that night & were alone. He beat the s*** out of me. He was so abusive & it took me a couple years to get up the nerve to leave him. He would threaten to kill my dog if I would leave him. I could go on & on. It was very scary. My dad had died a couple months before I met him & I was emotionally very fragile. I would cry for my dad because I knew if he was alive he wouldve killed this guy. It never would've happened. I had to take care of it myself. But I made it.

We also need to stop teaching our females to be too nice or our boys to be too nice, it attracts narcissistic sociopaths to abuse and manipulate you when you have weak boundaries. Proper discernment should always be the priority when meeting new people. Teach your kids to have strong boundaries!

I believe she was 17 years old when he met her, still a child, and in her awkward stage in life. Please tell me that I'm not reading that you are saying she should have known better. I remember when I was 17.

[@nelliebly2541]

​@glampreda3803 She was 35 yrs old in 94 and had an equivalent PHD in observing & indentifying sociopath/ psychotic obsession up close, first hand & personal With that intense course comes a type of thinking that is pure strategy. A game of mental chess. I've never had the kind of money that affords me a 5 grand rental or a fur coat. However, I would surely give that up & live in a box just to retain a lawyer & hidden cameras. I'd have security. No matter how famous, rich, or charismatic he is , he could have been checkmated. I understand she feared losing her kids to him cuz he had the money. Documented encounters mean so much in these circumstances. A well thought out plan needed to be put in place and it was not. Also this; yes 17 is an age for being naive & falling hard. 35 is an age for being smarter & thinking quicker. I do not make this comment without being in the same situation once upon a time. - This edit is to clarify that she did not have an actual degree. I said she had personal 1st hand experience that is equivalent of having a degree. Although, OJ paid for the sisters' college.

It's interesting that in Denise's retelling of the morning she received the news of her sister's murder that she doesn't include how she immediately screamed that "OJ did it!" Tom Lange always mentions this when he talks about that phone call. I'd be extremely interested in hearing her thoughts about Simpson's death.

[@hus390]

Denise is the one who took the photo of the 1989 physical abuse then claimed after the murder that she didn't knew about Nicole's struggle!!🤯 WTF? ... The fact is, OJ bought Nicole a house in her own name (worth $1m in today's money). She before the marriage. She could have walked away with it and never looked back, but she didn't. And Denise was beneficiary, as well as the whole family of hooking up OJ. ⚠️ She wrote to OJ in 1993 after they split asking for them to be together again. By this time, he already bought her two other houses in her own name, which she received rent income from, plus alimony and $40k a month just for food alone.

This comment is IMO only. I believe with Domestic Violence the problem is not so much " it's all his or her fault, but rather if one continues to actually have a desire to want to be around a person that is abusing them, it really speaks volumes to the insecurities of said person. Codependency is a "need" to control, and if one is willing to allow another to abuse them, in order to obtain that control, well, it's now called Domestic Violence. Thru the years I think all of the world has come to love and want the best for the victims families, I think Denise is such a beautiful soul and I wish her well.

[@kathleendobens6648]

It's not codependency at all! It's the threatening immediately after. They threaten you not to call or press charges. They make you feel like it's your fault. Keep the secret. I know I was there. They continually usurp control over the situation. I know I was there.

@@kathleendobens6648 in some cases it is also codependency. Maybe not in all, but in some it is the case. Nicole said to her sisters she'd never remarry or have a kid by another man, because OJ was the only man she'll ever love. He threatened her, but her decision not to remarry was not based on that. She considered him her soulmate, even said so, the night he killed her. Not blaming her in any way, but her therapist also said it was mutually obsessive relationship. Bunch of people who knew them, said the same. That being said, Nicole was a good person, while OJ was an is a psycho.

older sisters can see themselves as an additional "parent". I had that and have friends that were treated the same way. several years ago, my older sister finally came right out and said "I was your mother". our mother died when I was 12. the truth is:,my mother was the love of my life and we were very close. sister was out of the house when I was 7. prior to that she was a full time student. there was no time to be my mother. but the bottom line is I know my own life and that was not the case. we are not close. the motivation is her jealousy of the relationship i had with my mother. but even I never expected her to come out with that line. she was unable to convince me of her "delusion".

@MARCI'A THE HOOLIGAN I just wanted to say how badly my life has been affected by my older sister, she is my only sibling. Just as you describe I have no self-esteem. She completely rejected me and made me feel unwanted in childhood which continued into adulthood. No-one noticed what she was doing. I absolutely believe her behaviour set me up for being misused in my life by multiple people. It was only when she left home to get married and I suddenly felt a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and then I realised what she had done to me. Now I see how badly she has affected her husband, he is not the same person.

I find it also confusing with all contradicting statements and no receits. Back then as today dv is the same. I was 19 when I helped my sister out of dv situation, her and her little baby.

The trauma of losing a loved sister to being slaughtered so violently has and understandably still with her . She’s learned to live with it one can’t accept and be as happy as before . My wish for her is to have as much love in her life she can accept. Her sister is waiting in heaven and when they meet again she can finally be at peace .

I just finished reading the book by OJ's former agent, Mike Gilbert, called How I helped OJ get away with Murder. He contends that the entire Brown family knew that Nicole was being abused by OJ and they did nothing to help her. They didn't try to convince her to leave him. They didn't change their tunes until after she was murdered. Even A.C. (Cowlings) said under oath that Nicole had told him that she feared her family would side with OJ during the divorce. I feel like the truth is somewhere in the middle. They liked the access to fame and wealth OJ brought too. But they also didn't like how he treated her but didn't say anything during his bad behavior. If they were so close like she contends how could they have NOT known??? Of course they knew... even still it's very sad. RIP Nicole

you mean "hit me" I assume. hit ON someone has a different meaning.

[@stephenfain5685]

Hey Denise. Your awesome. Please tell me. Justice failed both families

[@hus390]

I recommend to you to watch Johnnie Cochrane's opening statement in the trial. He details the amount of lavish support OJ showered on all the Brown family members. Cars, houses, cash, tuitions, jobs (including Lou's dealership with Hertz, OJ's sponsor) ...etc. Then he details and rebut the stalking after divorce narrative. He bought Nicole her Bundy house in her own name. And he earlier bought her two condos (one to rent in SF, and one in Orange County to vacation in). Gave her extra $40k a month just for food. Caught her having sex with Keith, then showed up the next day at Bundy to tell them his children were sleeping upstairs and could have seen them. .... I mean he just goes on and on about OJ. ...I don't know, this whole motive thing is weak. The sloppy criminalist work and Mark Fuhrman sealed the deal for the prosecution.

[@currybase]

Around 36 minutes Denise tells the story about a woman that corrected her- paraphrased, Yes you can drag them out of the situation. Earlier, Denise suggested that you keep the door open for the abused victim if they go back. Make sure they know they can always leave. I remember the day I heard about Nichole's (and Ron Goldman) death. What a horrific tragedy. I pray for both families and all that loved them. I don't know how any family can ever truly heal from such.

[@kathleendobens6648]

Wow you really are a rockstar. It's so refreshing to see your vigor for justice and hope for the victims. I was verbally abused for 15years , and at the end physically. I got out but the repercussions of it has lasted for years.

[@MrDeengels]

What makes everything difficult for the Browns and Goldman they never received closure. The defense dehumanized the victims. And the killer was allowed to walk away.

[@gcrichman53]

You are so right.

[@helenewebster9462]

Billy isolated me from my family and friends. The only person Billy was ok with was my Friend, Pat Sims. But I hid the Domestic Violence, verbal abuses, and invalidation.

[@kerry378]

Im so sorry Denise...i was 20 years old when the murder/ case concluded. It was the first time as an 'adult' i could see how sick humanity could be towards humanity and how our unfair our justice system could be. It was unreal as 911 and the attack on the Capital. Most of us has been the victim of domestic violence in some form. Yes, its shame and the charisma of the narcissistic abuser plus fear. I love hearing about your family and Nicole. Im so sorry and still angry to what happened to Ron and Nicole, to this day. Women are still not protected to this day the way they should...Gabby comes to mind. We still have a long way to go but hopefully making progress 😢

[@nadja9851]

She seems like she’s on something, always reverts everything back to herself, cannot answer any questions asked, constantly going off subject

I had no one to protect me. But Mom would have been there if I let her know that I was being victimized. I did confined in neighborhood friend, Marie Denizen.

Hello! There were 2, count em TWO families affected!

[@CheyennefromTaos]

I suffered severe 😱 psychological abuse before i really knew what it was or how to articulate it or ask for help. He was a master in gaslighting. Had it been physical, I would have left very quickly. I barely survived what he did to me and our son. Had I not been a mom, I'd hv commited suicide.

[@staceystrukel1917]

I’m in the same boat. People are ignorant about domestic abuse. I live in fear every day.

[@robertafierro5592]

I forgot about her! She was on television alone back then. I think she wrote a book too. I'm not too sure..anyway, she definitely was part of the show along with Kato K. Those two had ALOT of media power back then. This definitely was THE trial of the last 20 years..not the Century.

[@coffeeandtruecrime2754]

I don’t believe it but oj said that there was a lot of jealousy between Nicole and Denise

[@-TheJewel-]

The right to be "forgotten"...with dignity..The way a person dies shouldn't define a person. People don't realise "The next linage needs to have the truth with facts not speculation. Lining the pockets of sickest making money off the deaths of victims, should be made criminal.

Wow her and Nicole look identical

[@gcrichman53]

Except Nicole was a natural born blonde and Denise obviously had some face work done that she didn't need and like many celebrities looked better before. She and Nicole resembled each other and their mother but their youngest sister Tayna looks nothing like them and was never beautiful like them. Their sister Dominique is very pretty too and resembles them a little.

[@aprilpinketon2567]

Seems like this family carries a lot of guilt about the fact that Nicole was in an abusive situation. You can tell by how she repeatedly says I didn't know about domestic violence, I didn't know she was being abused, we didn't know. I watched an early interview with the Brown family before the trial was over and they said they didn't know over and over. One sister I believe it was Denise said how could we know we lived an hour away.

[@hus390]

Which is a complete hogwash. The '89 domestic abuse photos were taken by Denise and then kept in a deposit box. WTF?🤯 ...The divorce happened in 1992. ... It's just complete BS for her to say we didn't knew. ⚠️ As for the murder, I recommend to you to watch Johnnie Cochrane's opening statement in the trial. He details the amount of lavish support OJ showered on all the Brown family members. Cars, houses, cash, tuitions, jobs (including Lou's dealership with Hertz, OJ's sponsor) ...etc. Then he details and rebut the stalking after divorce narrative. He bought Nicole her Bundy house in her own name. And he earlier bought her two condos (one to rent in SF, and one in Orange County to vacation in). Gave her extra $40k a month just for food. Caught her having sex with Keith, then showed up the next day at Bundy to tell them his children were sleeping upstairs and could have seen them. He shook Keith's hand and left the house. She confessed to him that she had an affair with one of his best friend, he didn't got mad, that friend actually through his wedding party in OJ's place. .... I mean he just goes on and on about OJ. ...I don't know, this whole motive thing is weak.

[@nicolemabie2111]

I was a victim of Domestic Abuse from Billy Sisk.

[@exoticprairie]

It's all about power over another. You add the celebrity, fame and money only makes the codependency factor even worse. The person has already got used to living comfortably and the shame of losing all that is hard for the abused to endure.

[@hus390]

I have sympathy for her but she got on that stand claiming OJ looked evil/menacing at the recital, then they showed video of her laughing & kissing OJ on the cheek outside. Completely destroying her supposed fear of him that day.

For revenge. Can't you do the easiest math? Well dear, the mind a strong. Her will was stronger.
