This former A list athlete who got away with killing someone, is trying to scam people again this month after trying to do the same thing last month.
Caitlyn Jenner (Bruce Jenner)
Auctioning pieces of her 1976 Olympic gold medal as NFTs on the blockchain
Caitlyn Jenner is auctioning pieces of her 1976 Olympic gold medal as NFTs on the blockchain. This allows people to buy tokens representing a share of the medal, accompanied by a “deed” visible on the blockchain. Jenner is not selling the physical medal but creating a digital representation to connect with her fans and collectors in a “unique way”.
The auction’s timing coincides with Jenner’s disappointment in the 2024 Paris Games, particularly the controversial opening ceremony and the situation with Algerian boxer Imane Khelif. Jenner hopes the auction will remind people of the Olympics’ golden era. This follows her earlier venture into the digital space with her own cryptocurrency.

O.J. Simpson, the former football star acquitted of his ex-wife’s murder in 1995, died at 76 from prostate cancer. Caitlyn Jenner faced backlash after reacting to Simpson’s death on social media, reminding the public of her 2015 car crash that resulted in a woman’s death.
O.J. Simpson’s Death
Simpson, who died on Wednesday, was known for his career in football and acting, but his fame was overshadowed by his 1995 trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. Though acquitted criminally, he was found liable in a civil trial and later served nine years in prison for an unrelated robbery, released in 2017.
Caitlyn Jenner’s Controversial Tweet
Jenner’s reaction to Simpson’s death sparked criticism. Many recalled Jenner’s involvement in a fatal 2015 car crash. Driving on the Pacific Coast Highway, Jenner rear-ended a Lexus, causing it to collide with oncoming traffic, killing Kim Howe. Although Jenner settled with the victims’ families, no charges were pressed due to insufficient evidence of negligence.
Jenner’s Connection to Simpson
Jenner knew Simpson through her ex-wife Kris Jenner, who was previously married to Robert Kardashian Sr., Simpson’s defense lawyer and friend. The Simpson trial caused a rift within the Kardashian family, with varying opinions on Simpson’s guilt.
