*O.J. Simpson’s eldest daughter Arnelle Simpson has reportedly joined the fight to prevent the rights to her father’s cancelled book, “If I Did It,” from being auctioned off on April 17th.
Arnelle, 38, is president of the corporation that signed the book contract with publisher HarperCollins, but claims she was never notified of the legal moves by Ron Goldman’s family to force the sale, reports the New York Daily News. Any profit would help satisfy the $38 million wrongful-death judgment O.J. owes the family for the murder of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
"Had I received any such documents I would have hired California counsel to defend [the company's] interest," she wrote in court papers filed Wednesday.
The $1 million book deal was signed last May between HarperCollins and Lorraine Brooke Associates Inc., the Florida company headed by Arnelle and shared by O.J. Simpson's three other kids, Jason, Sydney and Justin.
