The former Olympian was married to Kris Jenner when her best friend Nicole Brown, OJ’s ex-wife, was murdered with Ron Goldman in Los Angeles in 1994.

Nicole and OJ had been divorced for two years but their family still reportedly holidayed with the Kardashian-Jenners.

Kris’ first husband Robert Kardashian led Simpson’s legal defence in what became known as “the trial of the century” — in which he was sensationally acquitted for the double murders.

In the 30 years since the trial, Caitlyn has been vocal about her belief that Simpson got away with murder.

In her autobiography The Secrets Of My Life, she blasted the former NFL star.

“He was the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest a***ole in the world of sports I had ever seen, and I had seen a lot of them,” she wrote.

OJ and Nicole’s children, Sydney and Justin, are yet to speak individually.

Simpson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985, his first year of eligibility.

On Friday, Hall of fame president Pro Football Hall of Fame President Jim Porter said: “O.J. Simpson was the first player to reach a rushing mark many thought could not be attained in a 14-game season when he topped 2,000 yards.”

“His on-field contributions will be preserved in the Hall’s archives in Canton, Ohio.”
