The late Tawny Kitaen, renowned 1980s model and music video icon, may have held pivotal information about O.J. Simpson’s abusive treatment of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson – information that could have altered the course of the infamous 1995 double murder trial.
Despite her close relationship with Simpson, Kitaen chose to remain silent throughout the trial and kept her knowledge private until her death in 2021 at age 59.

Kitaen’s years-long affair with Simpson coincided with the period in which Nicole suffered repeated abuse at the hands of her husband, yet she never spoke out about what she witnessed. This silence left prosecutors without what many believe would have been crucial testimony.
A troubling affair amid abuse and fear
‘I love playing him’ says Tom Cruise on ‘Mission: Impossible’
Sources reveal that Tawny Kitaen was fully aware of Nicole‘s painful ordeal but continued her relationship with Simpson regardless.
“Tawny knew about the abuse Nicole endured but chose to ignore it and stayed with O.J.,” said an insider.
Even as Simpson stood trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Kitaen remained quiet.
Nicole’s close friend Faye Resnick previously disclosed that Nicole had confided in her about Simpson’s three-year affair with Kitaen. Nicole endured so many beatings over this infidelity that she couldn’t count them. In fact, Nicole once wrote a desperate letter to Kitaen warning her of Simpson’s violent tendencies and pleading for her to leave him.
The letter described the abuse Nicole had already survived and expressed her fear that Simpson would kill her. Yet, Kitaen reportedly dismissed the warning and continued seeing Simpson. Meanwhile, Simpson was also involved with another woman, Paula Barbieri, making the situation even more complex.
During the trial, Simpson denied any physical abuse despite evidence including Nicole’s letter. Without Kitaen’s testimony to corroborate Nicole’s claims, the jury lacked potentially critical insight into Simpson’s violent behavior. Ultimately, Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial, although he was later held liable in a civil court.
Following the trial, Tawny Kitaen’s life declined. She struggled with addiction and faced legal troubles, including a domestic violence arrest involving her ex-husband Chuck Finley in 2002. Though charges were dropped after counseling, those close to her say she lived with profound guilt over her silence.
“She carried a heavy burden and went to her grave haunted by the choice not to expose O.J.,” the source said.
The tragic saga of the Simpson trial continues to raise questions about the impact of silenced witnesses and the cost of hidden truths. Tawny Kitaen’s refusal to testify remains a poignant reminder of the complexities behind one of the most infamous cases in American history.

Stěžoval si na Procházkovo chování. Není šance, aby šel s Pereirou, říká konkurent české hvězdy
Tohle téma by se zřejmě vůbec neřešilo, kdyby se Procházka s Ulbergem skutečně utkali. Zápas byl údajně dohodnutý, nicméně druhý jmenovaný nakonec kvůli zdravotním problémům odstoupil, a Procházka tak musel hledat náhradního soupeře. Situace však nabrala nečekaný obrat. Ulberg se krátce nato „zázračně“ uzdravil a v Austrálii přece jen nastoupil, ovšem proti jinému protivníkovi.„Nebylo to tak, jak Jiří tvrdil, že jsem se mu chtěl vyhnout nebo že jsem odmítl souboj,“ uvedl Ulberg v rozhovoru s novinářem Arielem Helwanim. „Byl jsem zraněný a nečekal jsem, že mu to UFC vůbec oznámí. Chtěl jsem náš zápas pouze přesunout na listopad, abych měl dostatek času na rekonvalescenci. Jenže Jiří chtěl bojovat dřív, aby byl připraven na titulový duel mezi Ankalajevem a Pereirou,“ dodal aktuální třetí muž žebříčku polotěžké váhy.Ulberg si to nakonec v Perthu rozdal s Američanem Dominickem Reyesem, kterého knokautoval už v prvním kole. Jak ale sám přiznává, zápas pro něj představoval […]

What’s up with the NFL’s Premature Touchdown Celebration Problem?
It is perplexing to see NFL players commit the same mistake repeatedly when there are numerous highlights documenting the miscue for the football world to see. That is why I am baffled by two examples of recent players dropping the ball before crossing the goal line, especially when seeing it cost their teams points and wins by attempting to showboat on a potential touchdown, as Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and Cardinals running back Emari Demercado have already done this season.As a former NFL player who loved celebrating big plays as a youth, high school and collegiate player, I understand the adrenaline rush of crossing the goal line and the cultural reaction to cool celebratory acts that follow a score.After watching Billy "White Shoes" Johnson perform the "funky chicken" as his touchdown celebration in the 1970s, I could not wait to […]
