Kato Kaelin says he’s going to talk about O.J. Simpson in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house

Former O.J. Simpson house guest Kato Kaelin will become a Big Brother house guest on Jan. 21, and he plans to answer any questions his fellow players ask about Simpson.

Kaelin was a key figure in the famous 1995 murder trial for Simpson, and he knows that his roommates might have questions regarding his stay in the guest house on the Rockingham estate.

“I’ve done so many interviews over the years, I have no problems answering questions about that,” Kaelin told Entertainment Weekly (EW).

He continued: “You know, it’s so, to me, boring, the O.J. It’s not who I am, and it’s something that obviously happened in my life, but if they have a question that they want me to answer or something that I can answer, I have no problem with that.”

He also told EW that he has a strategy to change the topic if he needs to.

“If they’re sort of interviewing me in that house with their questions, I’d like to find out more about them and turn and say, ‘Yeah, let’s talk about you.’ And then back to me,”  he added.
