On Thursday, news broke that O.J. Simpson died from cancer at the age of 76. Several celebrities spoke out on social media to share their thoughts, and among them was Caitlyn Jenner, who was once friends with the former NFL player thanks to ex-wife Kris Jenner. In the years since Simpson's murder acquittal, Caitlyn Jenner has taken any opportunity to share her thoughts on the situation as someone who was close to it. Caitlyn Jenner is no stranger to sharing her strong opinions on social media, especially when it relates to her former family.

Caitlyn Jenner didn't hold back her feelings.
"Good Riddance #OJSimpson," Caitlyn Jenner tweeted on Thursday.
Caitlyn Jenner was friends with the former athlete and actor back in the '70s and '80s, but according to Caitlyn Jenner, that all ended when Simpson was arrested for killing his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

She claimed another important person in the case also believed in O.J. Simpson's guilt.
She wrote about the Simpson trial in her memoir The Secrets of My Life, claiming that the late Robert Kardashian (father to Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Robert Jr.), who was one of Simpson’s defense attorneys during that time, shared that he believed Simpson was guilty of the murders.
"‘I would’ve been OK with it if they had gotten him in the first trial,’" Caitlyn Jenner claimed Robert Kardashian told her. "The implication was obvious that he believed OJ was guilty."
Caitlyn always believed Simpson's guilt.
Simpson was famously acquitted of both murders in the criminal trial, though he was found liable for killing his ex-wife in a civil trial. Despite this, Caitlyn Jenner always maintained her belief of his guilt. When she was on Big Brother VIP, she claimed Simpson "got away" with murder.
"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,'" she said on the show.
She even made an unbreakable rule in her home.
During a 2017 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she told the host that she hadn’t seen Simpson since Nicole Brown Simpson’s funeral in 1994. And during a 2019 stint on the UK reality show I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! Caitlyn Jenner shared that she had banned any talk of him or the case from happening in the home she shared with wife Kris Jenner and their kids.
"That night the verdict came in, Kourtney and Kimberly were in school and obviously they loved their father — and they should — and they’d been following this for a year and a half," she explained. "And when they walked in the door, I think it was Kourtney who said, ‘Well I told you he didn’t do it.’ And I just said to the girls, ‘I don’t want his name ever mentioned in this house again.’"
People on social media reminded Caitlyn of her own actions.
In an interesting turn of events, when Caitlyn Jenner posted on X (formerly Twitter) about Simpson’s death, she was dragged. Many people brought up the fact that she was not charged with vehicular manslaughter after a 2015 car crash where she rear-ended a woman’s car and the woman ended up dying.
"Both of y’all killed people and got off so maybe you need to sit this one out," one person tweeted.
"Didn’t you kill someone in a car crash you caused??" another added.
