There was no mention of O.J. Simpson on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram page Thursday. Early that morning, she posted a video promoting a hoodie and bike shorts from Skims, the clothing company she co-founded. Later in the day, after the Simpson family announced that Simpson had died of cancer at age 76, Kardashian was silent on social media. Over the decades, her family had distanced itself from the man who played a significant role in propping up the Kardashian name. Sign up for The Morning newslet
