The network has premiered a trailer for its documentary about the murder of Brown Simpson, which features interviews with more than 50 participants, including members of her family. "The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson" will air in June.
"The one thing I could not protect her from was the monster she was married to," one of Brown Simpson's sisters says in the footage.
"What happened to our sister Nicole should never have happened to her or to any other woman," the Brown sisters said in a press release for the documentary. "Her life was stolen from her and while her abuser is finally gone, it doesn't take away the anguish we feel or the pain of her children who lost their mother. We hope that by sharing Nicole's story, it will help others recognize the signs and get the help they need and her legacy will continue to live on."
The trailer also features home videos of Brown Simpson and O.J. Simpson, who were married from 1985 to 1992, and includes interview subjects recounting that she "always thought he was going to hurt her." The documentary promises to delve more into who Brown Simpson was, with participants arguing that she "got lost in this whole thing" and was more than a "headline of a tragedy."

"For 30 years, one woman remained forgotten," the trailer says, "until now."
Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered at her home on June 12, 1994. She was 35. Simpson was later arrested and charged with the murders but found not guilty during the so-called "trial of the century" in 1995. In 1997, the former NFL star was found liable as part of a civil lawsuit and ordered to pay the families $33.5 million.

"The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson" comes on the heels of Lifetime's documentary "Where Is Wendy Williams?," which explored the declining health of the former talk show host. Williams publicly shared that she has dementia shortly before it aired, and Williams' temporary guardian unsuccessfully attempted to block the documentary's release.
