Buckle up, folks! The internet is buzzing after Caitlyn Jenner’s reaction to O.J. Simpson’s death! Let’s unpack this messy situation.
Caitlyn Throws Shade at the Juice
Following O.J.’s passing, Caitlyn took to social media with a very blunt message: “Good Riddance #OJSimpson.” Ouch! Clearly, Caitlyn isn’t a fan.
The Internet Fires Back!
Caitlyn’s tweet went viral, but not necessarily for the reasons she’d hoped. Many commenters slammed her for seeming insensitive, especially considering her own legal troubles.
A Deadly Accident in Caitlyn’s Past
People were quick to point out that Caitlyn herself was involved in a fatal car accident back in 2015. The family of the victim filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accusing Caitlyn of reckless driving.
I know you all think it’s cute to compare a fatal car accident (with multiple vehicles involved) to a BRUTAL MURDER… But Remember…
OJ said something to the effect of…
I could kill her (Nicole) and get away with it bc I’m #OJSimpson https://t.co/RSDFCjnaiy— Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner) April 12, 2024
Caitlyn Defends Herself ️
Caitlyn responded to the backlash, arguing that people shouldn’t compare a car accident (with multiple vehicles) to a brutal double murder. She then referenced a claim she’s made before: that O.J. allegedly threatened to kill his ex-wife Nicole and get away with it.
A History of Making This Claim
This isn’t the first time Caitlyn has made this accusation against O.J. Back in 2021, she made the same statement on a podcast.
The O.J. Trial: A Shadowy Past
Of course, we all know O.J. Simpson was famously acquitted in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the highly publicized “Trial of the Century.”
So, who’s right here?
It’s a complicated situation. Caitlyn has a right to her opinion, but the timing and wording of her tweet certainly rubbed some people the wrong way. Was it insensitive or just straight talk? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
