'She said, "He's going to kill me and he's going to get away with it"': Kris Jenner admits she 'will always feel guilty' about Nicole Brown Simpson's death

Twenty years after O.J. Simpson was found not guilty for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown, Kris Jenner is reflecting on what she could have done to save her late best friend.

The 59-year-old appears in new LMN documentary The Secret Tapes of the O.J. Case: The Untold Story, in which she recalls how Nicole would share her fears that the football star and actor could hurt her.

‘At the end of Nicole's life, I think she finally was at a place where she knew she had to be more vocal with what was going on and she was in trouble,’ Kris said, according to ABC News.

“The one thing she would tell all of us by the time, you know, it got to that level was, “He's going to kill me and he's going to get away with it.”’

At the time, Kris didn’t take the threats too seriously, and she admits she feels guilty about not doing more to try and help her friend.

‘I will always feel guilty that I didn't pay more attention and didn't speak up when I thought anything was wrong or asked her more, “Do you want to talk about it?”’ the reality star shared.

Kris’s late ex-husband Robert Kardashian was O.J’s close friend and defense lawyer.

In her 2011 memoir Kris Jenner… And All Things Kardashian, the star recalled when she first learned that Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman had been murdered.

'I instinctively knew that in some way O.J. had something to do with her death,' Kris admitted on the pages of her book.
