About Faye Resnick

Faye Resnick is an American interior designer, television personality, author, and former model. She began her professional life modeling and later operated a modeling agency in San Francisco before eventually developing a career in interior design. Her Beverly Hills-based firm, Faye Resnick Design, has undertaken residential and hospitality projects and has worked with clients including Paris and Nicky Hilton, Kyle Richards, and other entertainment-industry figures.

Resnick first became nationally known in 1994 through her close friendship with Nicole Brown Simpson following Brown Simpson’s murder and the subsequent O.J. Simpson criminal case. During a turbulent period in her own life that included acknowledged struggles with cocaine addiction and treatment, Resnick co-authored the controversial bestseller Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted. She later wrote Shattered: In the Eye of the Storm, addressing the Simpson case and issues including domestic abuse and personal recovery. In 1997, she appeared on the cover and in a pictorial for Playboy.

In later years, Resnick became known to a new television audience through recurring appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, largely through her longtime friendship with Kyle Richards, while continuing her work as an interior designer. Her design projects have also appeared on the series and in other reality television settings. Although the Simpson case remains an important part of her public history, Resnick subsequently built a sustained career in design and remained a recognizable figure in Los Angeles entertainment and social circles.
