19 Reality Shows That Can Be Tied Back To The O.J. Simpson Trial
From Keeping Up With the Kardashians to Love & Hip Hop, get ready to have your mind blown.
It got me to thinking about how many of today's reality shows could be tied to the O.J. Simpson trial, so I decided to give it a shot using the good ol' "six degrees of separation" rule as my guide. Little did I know how far down the rabbit hole I would go...
Let’s start with the biggest and most connected show of all: Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
This is probably the show that can be tied to the O.J. trial in the most ways. Not only is it based on the family of Robert Kardashian, O.J.'s best friend and lawyer, but Kris was also one of Nicole Simpson's best friends. Faye Resnick (Nicole's other best friend, who wrote a book about her life during the trial) has appeared on a few episodes.
