Caitlyn Jenner Appeared Celebrating OJ Simpson’s Demise
Infamous NFL player OJ Simpson lost his life on April 10, as he succumbed to his battle with prostate cancer at the age of 76. Taking to his official X account, Simpson’s family announced the grieving news while wishing for privacy and grace. As the late actor began receiving heartfelt condolences, former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner appeared sparking controversies for celebrating Simpson’s demise.
Taking to X while recalling OJ Simpson’s notorious murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, Caitlyn Jenner called his death “good riddance”. According to reports, the former NFL player was taken into custody after being accused of killing his second wife, Brown, by stabbing her to death alongside her friend, Ron Goldman. It appears Jenner empathized with Nicole Brown Simpson since Kris Jenner used to be a longtime friend of Brown.
Therefore, highlighting OJ Simpson’s criminal background, Caitlyn Jenner appeared justifying how his death finally brought closure to a tragic chapter in American history. However, netizens were quick to call out Jenner for virtue-signaling, when she personally was involved in a fatal car accident in 2015. Wasting no time, people started criticizing Jenner for her post.
Caitlyn Jenner’s 2015 Car Accident Comes as a Reminder
Following Caitlyn Jenner’s celebration of OJ Simpson’s death, the former Olympian began facing backlash from netizens. With many people pointing out her own involvement in a car crash that killed a woman in February 2015, netizens were quick to remind her of her own past, before calling out others. Slamming her for her insensitive tweet, people began accusing her of a similar crime of killing another person.
According to reports from CNN, Caitlyn Jenner, who was previously known as Bruce Jenner, before her transition, was involved in a fatal four-car accident in Los Angeles. Although Jenner was not injured, she apparently rear-ended victim Kimberly Howe’s car, pushing it into oncoming traffic. Howe unfortunately lost her life, and Jenner was later sued by Howe’s family.
I’m sure the family of that person you ran over, can’t WAIT to say the same about you!

The adult stepchildren of Kimberly Howe filed a civil lawsuit against the former Olympian, calling for unspecified damages and the cost of the suit. Although Caitlyn Jenner was not charged with any crime, the incident sparked widespread criticism and scrutiny. Therefore, recalling that very incident, netizens began accusing Jenner of hypocrisy and insensitivity, while suggesting that she should focus on her own actions rather than celebrating OJ Simpson’s death.
