Caitlyn Jenner reacted to news that O.J. Simpson passed away this week from prostate cancer.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” read a statement posted by Simpson’s family on X. “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.”
Fans posted tributes to the former NFL star but Caitlyn Jenner, who used to be married to Simpson’s late attorney and friend, Robert Kardashian, expressed her relief over his death.
“Good Riddance #OJSimpson,” she tweeted Thursday morning, just hours after his death was announced.

Not everyone had such a severe reaction.
“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,” Pro Football Hall of Fame president Jim Porter said in a statement. “His on-field contributions will be preserved in the Hall’s archives in Canton, Ohio.”
In February, Simpson shot down reports that he was in a hospice.
