Critics are calling out Caitlyn Jenner for her scathing initial reaction to the news that former NFL star OJ Simpson died following a battle with prostate cancer.
Giving her honest opinion on the news, Caitlyn Jenner took to her X account (formerly Twitter) to give her two-word reaction. “Have a good trip”. She also used the hashtag #OJSimpson to show exactly what she was referring to.
However, critics quickly found the irony in Jenner’s comment. Some posted photos of Jenner and OJ hanging out as friends in the past. “Funny how things changed,” declared one reviewer in a comment.
Other critics then posted screenshots of stories about Caitlyn Jenner’s car accident in February 2015, which resulted in the death of Kim Howe, an actress and animal rights activist. Howe was killed when Jenner’s black SUV crashed into her vehicle, causing a sequence of collisions. Numerous people were injured in the accident.
Although prosecutors did not file any criminal charges against Jenner, Howe’s stepsons and the drivers of the other vehicles involved in the crash filed three civil lawsuits against the former Olympian. Howe’s stepchildren ended up settling their lawsuit in January 2016 for an undisclosed sum.
With the screenshots, critics responded to Caitlyn Jenner, asking, “Didn’t you murder someone?” and “I know you’re not talking.”
Caitlyn Jenner married Kris during the 1995 OJ murder trial
Caitlyn Jenner was previously married to Robert Kardashian’s ex-wife Kris, who appeared as one of OJ’s attorneys in the 1995 Nicole Brown Simpson murder trial.
Nicole, who was a close friend of Kris, was married to OJ for seven years before filing for divorce in 1992. She and her good friend Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood condo on June 12, 1994.
Although OJ was found not guilty of the murders and acquitted, Caitlyn did not believe he was innocent.
While appearing as a contestant on VIP Big Brother In 2021, Jenner recalled that OJ openly threatened to kill Nicole. She had told Kris and Caitlyn about the threats just before her and Goldman’s murder.
“At one point he told Nicole, ‘I’m going to kill you and get away with it because I’m OJ Simpson.’”
Caitlyn Jenner noted that it was an “extraordinarily difficult time” for her and the Kardashian clan. “Nicole was Kris’s best friend, she had been for a long time. I was at Nciole’s house two days before the murder.
He later recalled being in the courtroom when the verdict was read. “Kris turned to me and said, ‘We should have listened to Nicole, she was right, all along.’”
