O.J. Simpson’s Daughter — Her Tortured Cry For Help!

O.J. Simpson’s tragic daughter Sydney is shockingly obese — and experts fear her efforts to find emotional comfort by eating will doom her to an early grave. Once a slim and vibrant girl, Sydney’s weight has ballooned to an estimated 247 pounds. Her weight gain coincides with the recent release of the FX TV series “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” which details her father’s trial for the murder of her mother, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Sydney, then 8, and her 5-year-old brother Justin were asleep inside their mother's condo on the night of June 12, 1994 — when Nicole, 35, and her waiter friend Ron Goldman were found butchered in the back of her Brentwood, Calif., residence. In what was dubbed The Trial of the Century, Simpson beat the murder rap in 1995 — but was later found guilty of their wrongful deaths in a civil trial.

Sydney’s 68-year-old disgraced football player daddy didn’t escape justice all together. He’s currently serving a 33-year sentence in a Nevada prison for the unrelated 2007 kidnapping and robbery of a sports memorabilia dealer in Las Vegas. But she rarely mentions her father’s crimes, insiders said. Nicole’s sister Tanya revealed the Brown family never discusses the gruesome double-murders with Sydney.

O.J.'s daughter, however, has talked with pals. Sydney’s former boyfriend Stuart Alexander Lee, who dated her for five years starting in 2007, said O.J.’s daughter speculates that her mother's brutal slaying "was a drug deal gone bad. Sydney doesn’t believe O.J. did it, but she doesn’t know what to believe.”

But after the murders and the bungled trial that turned O.J. into the Most Hated Man in America, young Sydney went through a “living hell” and was bullied at school, recalled friend Tom Scotto — adding: “Sydney was a very tough, angry, angry girl. She was just angry at the world."

Sydney’s pain is all too apparent in her shocking weight gain, experts said. New York psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle called the tormented woman’s weight gain “frightening” and “tragic" — adding: "I am very concerned about both her physical and emotional health. I don’t know if she’s seeing a therapist, but she absolutely needs to.”

After studying alarming photos of the 30-year-old taken outside her St. Petersburg, Fla., home just days ago, doctors told The National ENQUIRER that  Sydney’s been seeking comfort in food — and needs professional help before she eats herself to death.

“I’d say she’s gained at least 70 to 80 pounds,” said New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer. “She is certainly obese, and obesity shortens life. With this tremendous weight gain, she has put herself at risk for 60 different illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and even breast cancer. She needs therapy, not just a salad. She needs psychological counseling and a good support system.”

Dr. Fischer linked Sydney’s weight issues to the TV series, starring Cuba Gooding as O.J. The show forces Sydney to relieve the horrific slashing death of her mom. “Of course, she’s under stress — who wouldn’t be under these circumstances?” said Dr. Fischer, author of the “Park Avenue Diet.”

"People are seeing her father tried all over again for the murder of her mother," noted Dr. Fischer. "It has to bring out disturbing emotions that influence her eating patterns.” Added Dr. Carle: “She’s letting everybody know she’s unhappy. When your father is vilified, it has to be really sad and difficult. It’s obvious she  has issues!”
