The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story has all the makings of a hit television show. “There was literally something in every script that was illuminating”. Kaelin finds that stance offensive, writing in the New York Daily News that the show “completely fabricated” some scenes, including one where he is with Simpson’s family as Robert Kardashian announces O.J. killed himself.

Kris was a very close friend of Nicole Brown Simpson and was seen at her funeral on the series. “That painful reality, we shouldn’t forget”, she added.
