Kathryn Edwards and the O.J. connection

Tonight we finally met the final new cast-mate on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Kathryn Edwards, 51 and Kathryn has a very interesting back story and connection to Kyle Richards’ close friend Faye Resnick.

Obviously we know Resnick from the O.J. Simpson trial since Resnick was best friends with Nicole. It’s hard to believe that situation is over 20 years old now.

Anyhow, Kathryn’s ex husband former NFL star Marcus Allen, 55 was best friends with O.J. Simpson and allegedly had an affair with Nicole Brown Simpson while he was engaged to Edwards–I say “allegedly” because Allen vehemently denied the claim and says O.J. asked him from jail to lie about having an affair with Brown. In other words the claim is pretty flimsy since it was supposed to be used in the civil defense trial of O.J. which he lost.

Remember Resnick, 58, published a book Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted in 1994 after the infamous trial where she made the bombshell claim about Edwards’ then-husband Allen and the affair with Nicole.

Understandably, Edwards is angry that Resnick published the claims without talking to her first and what do you know? The two finally have the chance to talk about it face to face.

“She never met me. She didn’t know me. That always bothered me, that she acted like she did,” Edwards tells People magazine. “I waited a long time. I’m one of those people who can wait for a lifetime to say what I have to say to somebody. It was good. I was happy to get it off my chest.”

I actually think O.J.’s attorneys paid Resnick to write that book which is why Resnick is so defensive about it.

So not surprisingly Edwards does not really know Kyle as she joins the cast, but luckily it doesn’t sound like she is going to let the past with Resnick interfere in their future friendship.

“She’s a great girl and my husband [former NFL star Donnie Edwards] and her husband [Mauricio Umansky] hit it off, and so it’s a nice little friendship there,” says Edwards. “I think Kyle is going to let Faye and I figure it out on our own. [The book] was before she was friends with Faye. It is what it is.”
