Caitlyn, 74, spoke out with a biting post regarding OJ's death, shortly after the news broke.

The Olympic gold medalist penned on X, "Good Riddance #OJSimpson," leaving fans to flood the comments.

"Not the pot calling the kettle black," one slammed.

"Well this is ironic," a second remarked.

"You're next boo," a third ripped.

"It's funny how things changed," a fourth reminded, sharing a throwback photo from when Caitlyn and OJ were friends.

"You both in the same category," another claimed.

CAITLYN'S CLAIMS

Caitlyn's ex-wife Kris Jenner, 68, was previously married to the late Robert Kardashian who defended OJ in court after he was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Over 150 million people across the world tuned in to the 11-month trial that ended in October 1995 with a not-guilty verdict for the former football player.

In the years since, the Olympian has not been shy in sharing her opinion regarding her former friend's innocence.

While appearing on I'm A Celebrity in 2021, Caitlyn confessed she was convinced that OJ had murdered Nicole.

Later that year, she starred on the Australian show Big Brother VIP where she shared, "It was an extraordinarily difficult time. Nicole was Kris' best friend. Had been for a long time.

"I was at Nicole's house two days before the murder. Obviously he did it, and he got away with it, and at one point he even told Nicole, 'I'll kill you and get away with it 'cause I'm OJ Simpson.'

"And Nicole relayed that on to Kris at one point, and unfortunately, she was right."

In 2017, Caitlyn published a memoir titled The Secrets of My Life in which she spoke about her childhood and rise to fame through sports.

In the text she talks about OJ, claiming that she never particularly warmed to the Buffalo Bills player though they were in the same social circle.

She even slammed him as the "most narcissistic, egocentric, neediest a**hole in the world of sports I had ever seen, and I had seen a lot of them."

OJ'S DEATH

OJ's family announced his death with a message on social media Wednesday.

"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren," they shared on X.

"During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace."

OJ was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February, just two months before his death.

At the time, he shut down rumors that he was already in hospice care.

"Hospice?! Hospice?! You talking about Hospice?" the former NFL running back said on X, imitating a famous practice rant from NBA legend Allen Iverson.

"No, I'm not in any hospice. I don't know who put that out there, but whoever put that out there, I guess, it's like the Donald said, 'You can't trust the media.'

"All is well," he claimed.
