Caitlyn has not been shy when voicing her opinion about Simpson.
In 2021 she said during the Australian TV show Big Brother VIP that she thinks Simpson ‘got away’ with the murder of Nicole.
‘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 ’cause I’m O.J. Simpson,”‘ Jenner said on the show.
Kris used to be married to OJ’s attorney Robert Kardashian Sr., who died of esophageal cancer in 2003.
Kardashian served as one of OJ’s defense attorneys during Simpson’s murder trial for the 1994 stabbing deaths of Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
A costar asked Jenner if it was hard watching OJ’s trial. OJ was acquitted of the double-murders in 1995.
‘It was an extraordinarily difficult time,’ Jenner said. ‘Nicole was Kris’ best friend. Had been for a long time.
‘I was at Nicole’s house two days before the murder,’ Jenner continues. ‘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 ’cause I’m O.J. Simpson.” And Nicole relayed that on to Kris at one point, and unfortunately she was right.’

Caitlyn added: ‘We were at the courthouse. We’re watching what’s going on in the other room, and even after the not guilty verdict, the first thing Kris turns around to me and goes, “We should have listened to Nicole. She was right right from the beginning.”‘
Simpson was deemed liable for the deaths in 1997 in a civil case brought by the two victims’ families.
In 2008, Simpson was convicted for his role in the armed robbery and kidnapping of two sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas.
He was released from prison in 2017 after serving nine years.
