The Kardashian-Jenners are back in hot water, after news of OJ Simpson’s death has put the controversial family and their links to the late former American football star back into the spotlight.
Simpson died on April 10 at the age of 76 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a statement issued by his family.
Simpson has been the topic of controversy for decades. Those who kept up with the “trial of the century” in 1995 will remember that San Francisco-born Orenthal James Simpson was acquitted for the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, after they were found stabbed to death outside her home in Los Angeles, per BBC.
Despite overwhelming evidence against him – which included the famous bloodstained gloves and Simpson’s record of domestic violence against his former wife – the jury ultimately sided with the wealthy NFL star, shocking the world with his acquittal, per the BBC.
But what does reality TV family the Kardashian-Jenners have to do with all this? Here’s everything you need to know.
