Denise Brown is a former model who became an activist against domestic violence after the brutal murder of her sister Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994.

Denise was born on July 27, 1957 in Frankfurt, Germany, but she grew up in California, living with 3 sisters, her father Lou and her mother Juditha. In her interview for People Magazine, Denise had a happy childhood with "dinner with my family every night". Her father brought Denise and her sisters horses when they were in their teens to keep them "busy and out of trouble".

Denise studied at Dana Hills High School and after graduating moved to New York. There she signed an agreement with the Ford modeling agency and worked as a model in 1970s and 1980s. In 1986, Denise retirned to her parents in California woth her son Sean.

She was an actress, known for Insight TV (2014), The Conspiracy of Silence (1995) and The O.J. Simpson Trial: Where Are They Now? (2014). Denise was arrested twice on suspicion of DUI (1992 and 1994) and pleaded guilty in both cases.

Denise Brown’s life tirned upside down in June, 1994 when her younger sister Nicole Brown Simpson and Nicole's friend Ron Goldman were murdered.

On June 12, 1994, Denise's sister, Nicole Brown Simpson, was murdered along with her friend Ron Goldman. Nicole's ex-husband O.J. Simpson was later charged with the killings.

Initially, Denise didn't want to speak to press about her sister and the case, but later she started publicly accusing her brother-in-law for her sister's death.

In early 1995, when he was brought to trial, she became a witness for the prosecution.

Denise shared details of the abuse Nicole suffered at the hands of her husband during her testimony.

Even after O.J. Simpson was acquitted criminal charges in October 1995, Denise insisted that he was her sister's killer. He was later found guilty in a wrongful death civil suit, which awarded money to Goldman’s family. Denise clashed with Simpson on a 1998 Fox News Network television program.

Over the years, denise continued to speak against Simpson. She went to the media in 2006 to oppose his intentions to publish a tell-all book about the murders. She alleged that News Corp offered her and her family money to not publicly oppose Simpson 's book If I Did It, a related TV special, according to a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report.

Since early 1995 Denise Brown has traveled to various states speaking on the epidemic of domestic violence. She has addressed university student bodies, men in prison and in batterers' treatment programs, women at risk, church groups and various educational and legislative forums.

Denise is also the Co-founder and President of the Nicole Brown Foundation, which her father helped establish in 1994. In addition to that, Denise has assisted to raise funds for local shelters all across the country with her appearances, and has assisted in the success of a major project called the Vine System.

As part of her commitment, Denise Brown has worked to help pass a variety of legislative solutions for domestic violence. One of her most important projects was to lobby on behalf of the Violence Against Women Act. Senator Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania contacted Ms. Brown and asked for her assistance on a portion of the bill that was being stalled in committee in the U.S. Senate. With a potential slashing of its federal allocation to domestic violence services, Denise Brown testified to the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations for increased funding for the Violence Against Women Act. After her testimony, that portion of the bill's funding was increased from eighteen million to thirty-two million dollars. U.S. Senator s Biden and Hatch have cited Denise Brown as "having done more for the issue of domestic violence than any other individual."

This program is an automated victim notification service of the release of batterers from jail or prison.

The Vine Service is free and offers users the following features and benefits: • access the VINE online portal 24/7/365 • view offender custody status information from over 2,900 law enforcement agencies across 48 states (data availability is determined by agency) • register for offender custody change notifications by in-app notification, phone, email, text message (where available) or TTY device.
