Caitlyn Jenner has broken her silence on OJ Simpson's death in truly savage fashion.
It was announced earlier today that Simpson had died at the age of 76.
The former NFL star previously detailed a cancer diagnosis, when he shared a post on X saying that in 'recent years', he 'unfortunately caught cancer' in May 2023.
At the time, he added: “So I had to do the whole chemo thing. I’m over the chemo... I’m healthy now. It looks like I beat it - I’m happy about that.”

Simpson didn't specify the nature of the cancer he had been diagnosed with at the time.
Back in February, Simpson indicated he was in good health as he shut down rumors that he was being in a hospice.
“Hey X world, hospice? Hospice? You talking about hospice?,” he wrote on X.
“No, I’m not in any hospice. I don’t know who put that out there,” Simpson continued. “I guess it’s like Donald [Trump] says, ‘You can’t trust the media.’"
However, his family confirmed earlier today that the controversial star had passed away.
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer," the statement said.
"He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace," they continued.
Smith originally rose to fame as an NFL footballer, primarily with the Buffalo Bills in New York. He also played for the San Francisco 49ers.
In 1995, he found himself in the spotlight for a more sinister reason as he was tried for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
Police announced their intention to arrest Simpson days after the murders, and after a car chase involving Simpson's white Ford Bronco, the footballer ultimately handed himself over to police.
Simpson was ultimately found not guilty of the murders, but the case still proved controversial for the former footballer.
One person who was not exactly of a fan of Simpson is Jenner, something which is certainly evident by a recent Twitter post.
Taking to X, she penned: "Good Riddance #OJSimpson."
Simpson is survived by four children; Arnelle and Jason from his first marriage to Marguerite Whitley, and Sydney and Justin, from his marriage to Nicole Brown Simpson.
Simpson's story has also been told in the drama series, The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
