In a fiery tweet storm, Caitlyn Jenner didn’t hold back as she bid what some might call a less-than-fond farewell to the infamous O.J. Simpson, just hours after news broke of his passing at the age of 76 due to cancer.
Jenner’s sentiments towards Simpson have been no secret, with the Olympian harboring deep-seated animosity towards the former NFL star for years.
In her revealing 2017 memoir, “The Secrets of My Life,” Jenner didn’t mince words, labeling Simpson as “the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest asshole in the world of sports I had ever seen.”
The contentious relationship between Jenner and Simpson stems from more than just personal distaste; Jenner has repeatedly voiced her belief that Simpson was responsible for the tragic 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
“I knew he did it,” Jenner asserted in a 2017 interview with Andy Cohen, pointing to compelling DNA evidence at the crime scene.

The connection between Jenner and the Simpson case runs even deeper. Through her then-wife Kris Jenner, who was close friends with Nicole Brown Simpson and was previously married to Robert Kardashian, one of Simpson’s defense attorneys, Caitlyn found herself entangled in the high-profile trial.
Simpson’s life, once adorned with accolades for his athletic prowess, took a dark turn with the accusations of murder. The gripping trial dubbed the “Trial of the Century,” captivated the nation’s attention, serving as a confluence of celebrity intrigue, racial tensions, and legal drama.
Despite his acquittal in the criminal trial, Simpson was later found liable for the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman in a civil lawsuit and ordered to pay substantial damages.
With Caitlyn Jenner’s unapologetic farewell to O.J. Simpson, the saga of one of America’s most infamous trials reminds us of the complexities of justice, fame, and the human condition.
