Secrets O.J. Simpson’s mistress took to the grave revealed: It could have been crucial in the trial

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.

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.

Tom Brady Dishes Out Praise for Ray Lewis: ‘The Ultimate Competitior’

Jaylin Noel dared to do something Tom Brady would've never done in the Houston Texans' blowout victory over the Baltimore Ravens. After scoring his first career touchdown, the Texans' rookie wide receiver did Ray Lewis' squirrel dance, upsetting members of the Ravens' defense. In the latest edition of "Storytime with Tom Brady," the seven-time Super Bowl winner shared how he strayed away from doing things like that against the Ravens during his career, specifically Lewis. "I was definitely never going to get anywhere close to Ray," Brady said of the Ravens' iconic linebacker. "He was a tough man. I never was going to pick any fights with anybody out there, but I was going to instigate something and get the hell out of the way before I got my ass kicked."Brady and Lewis had a pretty fierce rivalry over their Hall of […]

Thursday Night Football: Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants betting preview (odds, lines, best bets)

Brian Daboll’s Giants are no strangers to being home underdogs: Since hiring Daboll as head coach in 2022, the Giants have been the betting underdog in MetLife Stadium 23 times. That’s the most by any active head coach over that span. Cam Skattebo’s impact in the receiving game: The first-year running back has ample opportunity to leave his mark on this matchup amid a slew of injuries to the Giants' pass-catchers. This makes his 2.5 receptions line very attainable. Game Overview We kick off Week 6 with an NFC East showdown between the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, fresh off their first loss of the 2025 season, and a Giants team looking to build momentum behind its young core. This matchup has been lopsided in recent years, with Philadelphia dominating the rivalry. Since Brian Daboll took over as head coach in […]
