In the wake of O.J. Simpson‘s death, Caitlyn Jenner published a rather brutal response on X, bashing the convicted NFL star.
“Good riddance #OJSimpson,” she wrote in a post on X earlier today.
The infamous athlete passed away Wednesday (April 10) after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
TMZ reported, “His health took a turn for the worse of late — with him landing in hospice care within the past few months.”
Simpson famously stood trial in the ’90s for the death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in 1994. The former NFL star was represented by Robert Kardashian, the late ex-husband of Kris Jenner. Caitlyn and Kris were married for over 20 years before announcing their separation in 2013. The pair eventually divorced in 2015.
Simpson was acquitted of the murder charges in 1995, though a civil suit filed in 1996 by the victims’ families ultimately found him liable for their deaths. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to Brown and Goldman’s families.
Caitlyn has been a vocal critic of Simpson since he was released from prison. In her 2017 memoir, Caitlyn called him “the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest a– in the world of sports I had ever seen,” per Newsweek.

She also accused him of getting away with “two savage murders.”

Caitlyn also wrote that she felt it was “obvious” that Kardashian believed Simpson was guilty of committing the murders. She claimed Kardashian allegedly told her, “I would’ve been OK with it if they had gotten him in the first trial.”
The infamous trial has since been dramatized for television in the 2016 series from Ryan Murphy, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
Simpson’s legal troubles did not stop after the civil suit. He was later convicted of 12 counts of armed robbery and kidnapping in a 2008 case.
He was released from prison in 2017 and later granted early release from parole.
