Kardashian, Jenner Family Snubs O.J. Simpson Death
Undoubtedly, feelings are split about the death of former San Fransico NFL player, O.J. Simpson. While his family is sad to see him lose his battle with prostate cancer, others still harbor bitterness about his alleged murders. Seemingly, the Kardashian-Jenner family is among the latter.
Murder Tarnishes O.J. Simpson’s Career
While the superstar, O.J. Simpson, was a great football player, his accomplishments were tarnished after a long trial alleging the double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. Undeniably, this made him a controversial figure in the ‘90s. Additionally, the case was a highly visible trial. Although O.J. was accused and then charged, he was ultimately acquitted of murdering Brown and Goldman in 1995.
O.J. Simpson’s Close Connection With The Kardashians
During the high-profile case The Kardashians star, Kris Jenner’s ex-husband, the late Robert Kardashian, Sr. was on O.J.’s defense team. But even before the trial, the Kardashian family had personal connections to the Simpsons. Significantly, The Kardashian kids were close enough to O.J. and Nicole to call them “Auntie” and “Uncle” at one point in the family friendship. Over time, Kris Jenner and her daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian, have discussed how the trial created a division within their family. During the trial, the split was obvious with Kris choosing to sit on Nicole’s side of the courtroom while Robert was serving on the defense. While O.J. was acquitted, the jury still found him liable for the deaths and required him to pay out millions to the victims’ families.
The Kardashians Snub O.J. Simpson’s Death
During this time of reflection on O.J. Simpson’s life, many people are discussing their connections with the athlete. However, The Kardashians stars are seemingly snubbing the Simpson family in the death of O.J. While it isn’t a complete surprise, many people are waiting to see if there will be a reaction. Although O.J.’s buddy, Robert Kardashian, was key in his acquittal, Kris Jenner didn’t agree. Undeniably, she wanted to see justice for one of her best friends, Nicole Brown Simpson’s brutal murder.
Furthermore, through the years, the Kardashian-Jenner family experienced rumors about O.J. being Khloe Kardashian’s biological father. When O.J. heard about the conspiracy theory he took to X to set the record straight. He said, “But never — and I want to stress, never, in any shape or form — have I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.” Although Kris calls the allegations “tasteless and disgusting” many still believe they could be true. Conversely, Kim Kardashian took great inspiration from her father during O.J.’s trial. While she admits it wreaked havoc on the family, she also knew she wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps.
Caitlyn Jenner Is The Only One Currently Talking
Currently, Caitlyn Jenner is the only member to come forward about O.J. Simpson’s death. She bitterly says, “Good riddance” to the esteemed athlete’s passing. Time will tell if the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family will discuss their thoughts on his death or if they will let bygones be bygones to respect the Simpson family during their grieving.
