OJ Simpson‘s legal team are resorting to desperate measures to pay off the late NFL star’s staggering debts.
Simpson died in April at the age of 76 owing the families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown more than $100million.
And in an attempt to chip away at the figure, his longtime lawyer and executor of his estate Malcolm LaVergne revealed that he’s putting a rather unique collection of memorabilia under the hammer.
The former running back’s stash of pornography from his time behind bars in Nevada state prison will reportedly be up for grabs at auction, LaVergne told TMZ.
Simpson reportedly established a collection of Penthouse – a men’s magazine that features pornographic photos of women – while he served his sentence for his 2008 armed robbery.
Following his release on parole in 2017, Simpson allegedly stashed away his editions as, according to LaVergne, he then had access to free online porn.

LaVergne also revealed that he could put Simpson’s condoms up for auction.
The former longtime attorney of Simpson said that he hopes to hold the auction in early 2025 but had not confirmed details as of yet.
Simpson was found liable in civil court for $33.5 million for the murders of Ron Goldman and ex-wife Nicole Simpson in 1997, with the Goldman family pursuing the growing debt ever since. The sum has now ballooned to $100 million with interest.
An attorney for Ron’s father Fred said earlier this year that he will be ‘going to work on’ collecting anything they can from Simpson’s estate, even after the Juice’s death.
The last legal filings Goldman’s attorneys made were in June 2022, when they claimed Simpson still owed more than $96 million, and had paid just $133,000 since 1997.
Since their 1997 judgment for the 1994 murders, the Goldmans have garnished Simpson’s income and sued him several times to claw back cash he earned for TV shows and his book, If I Did It.
In an interview with DailyMail.com earlier this year, debt collection attorney David Cook described how he renewed the judgment in 2015, placing it at $57 million.
Two years later, when Simpson was released from a Nevada prison after serving nine years for a robbery and kidnapping conviction, he estimated the debt to be ‘a touch under $70 million’.

And in March 2021, a Nevada garnishment case listed the ‘amount owed’ by Simpson as ‘$75,164,425.74.’
1992 court filings from his split with his murdered wife Nicole said his net worth then was $10.8 million, with a monthly income of $55,000.
But according to the Goldmans’ filings, he has only ever paid them $133,000 since they obtained their judgment against him.
Simpson dodged paying the Goldmans by declaring bankruptcy in Florida, and his annual NFL pension of between $125,000 and $300,000 was protected from debt collection claims.
He also had $42,000 a year in Social Security.
