Twenty years after O.J. Simpson was found not guilty for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown, Kris Jenner still feels guilty that she didn’t do more to save her best friend.
“At the end of Nicole’s life, I think she finally was at a place where she knew she had to be more vocal with what was going on and she was in trouble,” Kris said, according to ABC News. “The one thing she would tell all of us by the time, you know, it got to that level was, ‘He’s going to kill me and he’s going to get away with it.”’
At the time, Kris didn’t take the threats seriously and wonders if she could’ve done something to stop the murder.
“I will always feel guilty that I didn’t pay more attention and didn’t speak up when I thought anything was wrong or asked her more, ‘Do you want to talk about it?'” she shared.
Kris’s late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, was O.J’s close friend and defense lawyer during his high profile trial. In her 2011 memoir, Kris Jenner…And All Things Kardashian, she reflects on when she first learned that Nicole and Ron Goldman had been murdered.
“I instinctively knew that in some way O.J. had something to do with her death,” Kris says in her book.
Two decades after the trial, a true crime anthology TV series about it is currently in the works, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. as O.J., John Travolta as his attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian and Selma Blair as Kris Jenner.
