Caitlyn Jenner celebrated OJ Simpson’s death, tweeting ‘Good Riddance’ in response to the football star’s passing at the age of 76, thirty years after his ‘trial of the century’ tore the Kardashian family apart.
Jenner, 74, was married to Kris Jenner when her best friend Nicole Brown, OJ’s ex-wife, was brutally murdered with Ron Goldman in Los Angeles in June 1994.
Nicole and OJ had been divorced for two years but still vacationed with their kids and the Kardashian-Jenners.
Prosecutors said at trial that OJ killed Nicole and Goldman in a jealous rage, painting him as an ‘obsessive ex’ who felt that if he couldn’t have her, no one could.
Kris’s ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, went on to represent OJ at his murder trial – a decision that haunted the family for decades.
OJ was sensationally acquitted of the killing, despite the mountain of evidence against him and absolute belief among Nicole’s friends that he was responsible for their deaths.
In Caitlyn’s autobiography, The Secrets Of My Life, she gave a scathing assessment of the former NFL star.
‘He was the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest a***ole in the world of sports I had ever seen, and I had seen a lot of them,’ she wrote.
OJ and Nicole’s children, Sydney and Justin, are yet to speak individually.
In a tweet on OJ’s X account, a statement said he had died ‘surrounded by family.’
His two other children from a previous marriage remained close with him until his death. He had a third child, Aaren, with his first wife, Marguerite, but Aaren died shortly before her second birthday in a pool drowning.
