Former football star, actor and acquitted murder defendant O.J. Simpson has been diagnosed with cancer, Local 10 News in Las Vegas reports. 

According to sources, Simpson, 76, who previously lived in South Florida, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Las Vegas.

Simpson has been reportedly telling his friends and family that he’s been hearing rumors that he’s in hospice care, but announced on X Friday that that is not the case.

He said he plans to host “a ton of friends” for the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Simpson was discharged from parole on Dec. 1, 2021, after his conviction in Las Vegas for armed robbery.

Simpson had told parole officials before his Oct. 1, 2017, release from prison that he planned to move back to Florida.

He instead moved to a gated community in Las Vegas, where he played golf and frequently took to Twitter to offer opinions about college and pro sports, especially football.

“Life is fine,” he told The Associated Press during a June 2019 interview.
