Where Is Nicole Brown Simpson’s Youngest Sister Tanya Now?

At a 2015 speaking event, Tanya Brown revealed that at the time of her sister’s death, and for years before then, she’d been in a cycle of suppressing her grief. “I became a master at concealing my feelings,” she shared (via APB Speakers). Sadly, a decade later, being dumped by her fiance just days before their wedding, it all became too much to bear, and she contemplated suicide. She managed to seek help soon after, kickstarting her healing — but also helping her find her true calling. 

As seen on her eponymous website today, Tanya works with people who need help understanding and moving past their own grief. She’s a coach, and has also authored a self-help book, “Finding Peace Amid the Chaos: My Escape from Depression and Suicide.” However, mental health is just part of her focus. 

Tanya is also an advocate for anyone facing domestic violence, and in 2015, she published “The Seven Characters of Abuse.” Per her website, it’s aimed specifically at helping people identify abuse early on, and provides advice on how to get out of dangerous relationships as quickly as possible. She also does speaking engagements on the topic — and she’s made it clear that O.J. Simpson’s history of abuse against his sister, as well as her death, are the reasons why.
