Kris Jenner Opens Up About Decades-Long Grief for Friend Nicole Brown Simpson

Los Angeles, California – Kris Jenner, reality star and mother to the famous Kardashian-Jenner clan, recently opened up about her enduring grief over the loss of her friend, Nicole Brown Simpson. During a poignant moment in the third episode of a four-part Lifetime documentary series, Jenner shared her emotional journey of coping with the tragic death of Brown three decades ago.

Reflecting on the profound impact of the loss, Jenner tearfully expressed, “You never get over losing a friend that way. And I think I pack it down so far deep inside, you know? It’s been 30 years. It’s hard. [It’s] one of the hardest days I’ve ever experienced.”

Brown was tragically found murdered in 1994 outside her home in Brentwood, California, which she shared with former NFL superstar O.J. Simpson. The shocking double homicide of Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman captivated the nation and led to one of the most infamous trials in American history.

The gripping trial, dubbed the “Trial of the Century,” ended with Simpson’s acquittal, despite the overwhelming evidence presented against him. However, Simpson was later found liable in a civil suit related to the deaths and later served jail time for separate crimes, unrelated to the murder case.

The Lifetime documentary series, “The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson,” delves into the personal journey of Brown, shedding light on her perspective and experience with domestic violence. Instead of focusing on Simpson’s ties to the crime, the series explores the tragic reality of domestic abuse and violence against women, aligning with Lifetime’s initiative to stop violence against women.

Featuring interviews with over 50 individuals, including Brown’s family and friends, the four-part project offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson. Released on the 30th anniversary of Brown’s murder, the documentary also includes previously unreleased archival footage, providing a fresh perspective on a case that continues to resonate with audiences to this day.
