While reactions are slowly pouring online, Caitlyn Jenner wasted no time sharing her unfiltered feelings on the news of O.J. Simpson’s death. Going online, Jenner’s message on X (formerly Twitter) left many people reeling. She made it abundantly obvious that she’s not shedding tears over Simpson.
“Good Riddance #OJSimpson,” Jenner wrote. Despite making historic plays during his 11 seasons in the NFL, Simpson fell from grace following the infamous 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, which hangs heavy in the public consciousness.
Do Caitlyn Jenner and O.J. Simpson Have a History?
Although a criminal trial in 1995 resulted in acquittal, a subsequent civil trial found him responsible for the deaths in a multimillion-dollar judgment against him. So, what is Jenner’s beef with Simpson? Well, the hatred between the duo runs deep. It arises from a rough chapter mixed with betrayal, tragedy, and a chilling premonition.
At the time of Nicole Brown Simpson’s death, Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, was married to Kris Jenner. Notably, Kris shared a close bond with Nicole. This connection caused their family a “very difficult time” as Kris’ ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, stood by Simpson’s side as part of his legal defense team.

During a 2021 appearance on Australia’s “Big Brother VIP,” Caitlyn Jenner alleged that Nicole confided in Kris Jenner about her fears. This was regarding O.J. Simpson’s violent tendencies, stating that he would “kill her and get away with it.”
“Obviously, he did it, and he got away with it, and at one point he even told Nicole, ‘I’ll kill you and get away with it because I’m O.J. Simpson,'” Caitlyn Jenner said on the show. “Then Nicole, you know, relayed that to Kris at one point, and unfortunately, she was right.”
Notably, Caitlyn Jenner didn’t specify when Nicole Brown told Kris Jenner this information. However, Caitlyn Jenner confirmed that after O.J. was acquitted, the first thing Kris Jenner said inside the courthouse was, “We should have listened to Nicole. She was right right from the beginning.”

Was Robert Kardashian Ever a Target of Public Outrage?
To some, yes, particularly as the long and internationally publicized trial continued playing out in the media. Kim Kardashian recalled, “During the trial, we all went to dinner with my dad, and we come back from dinner. And on the side of his car, it said ‘N-word lover.'”
Kris Jenner also revealed that O.J. Simpson’s trial played a vital role in the life of then-teenage Kim Kardashian, who later began studying to be a lawyer. Notably, the Kardashian children celebrated O.J. Simpson’s acquittal. Kim Kardashian recalled that she and her siblings went to Simpson’s house to “celebrate” the 1995 verdict with him.
“All the kids stayed home from school. We saw the verdict, and then afterward, my dad called us and was like, ‘OK, meet me at Uncle O.J.’s house. We’re all going to go there and celebrate,'” she said. Now, Kim Kardashian looks back on her family’s involvement in the whole mess as something so surreal.
