Former American track star Caitlyn Jenner, a face of the transgender community, had some scathing words for former Buffalo Bills great O.J. Simpson, whose death was announced by his family on Wednesday.
"Good riddance #OJSimpson," Jenner posted to social media.
Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, has been a strong critic of Simpson through the years, claiming that Simpson was in fact responsible for the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. Simpson was found not guilty of the killings in what was dubbed "The Trial of the Century" in 1995.
Jenner was linked to Simpson at the time, having been married to Kris Jenner — a good friend to Nicole and whose ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, was a member of Simpson's noted defense team.
Jenner wrote a memoir in 2017, entitled The Secrets of My Life, and in it called Simpson "the most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest a- in the world of sports I had ever seen," per the Washington Post. "I believe he got away with two savage murders."

Simpson was 76 and died as a result of complications from prostate cancer, his family announced.
Nicole Simpson and Goldman were found stabbed to death outside Simpson's home in Brentwood, Calif. With O.J. Simpson as the prime suspect, a chase of the White Ford Bronco in which he was riding was televised by every major network and cable news outlet. The chase was even shown on NBC during its broadcast of the NBA Finals.
Per the New York Post:
"Simpson was later ordered to pay the families of Brown and Goldman over $33 million in civil proceedings for wrongful death and battery in a civil trial.
"In the aftermath, Jenner claimed Robert Kardashian all but admitted he also thought Simpson was guilty of the murders.
"He allegedly told Jenner, 'I would have been OK if they got him in the first trial,' she said in a 2017 interview with Andy Cohen, according to the Washington Post."
