American Crime Story Trailer

In American Crime Story, Kris Jenner (formerly Kris Kardashian) is played by Selma Blair. Jenner’s late ex-husband, attorney Robert Kardashian, is played by former Friends star David Schwimmer. In the recently released trailer for the series, the two are shown arguing ahead of the trial involving their close friends O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown.

Robert tells Kris, speaking of former pro football player Simpson, “He’s my friend. I don’t turn my back on people.”

“You’re turning your back on Nicole,” Kris yells back at Robert, who is also shown sobbing in his car at one point in the trailer.

Earlier in the trailer, Kris is at Brown’s funeral. “Do you think he did it?” she asks Faye Resnick, played by Connie Britton.

“She was terrified of him,” Faye replies.
