Highlights

• Khloe Kardashian faced rumors about O.J. Simpson being her father, but there is no evidence to support this claim.
• Khloe referred to Simpson as her "uncle" and found it uncomfortable to watch TV dramas about the trial.
• Despite the persistent rumors, Khloe has not publicly commented on O.J. Simpson's death.

Although she isn't the wealthiest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Khloe Kardashian has continued to earn a lot of money throughout her career. Some would say she got a leg up since she was born into a famous family. But while she has definitely been granted opportunities and resources that others haven't, she has also had a lot of painful experiences. For example, Khloe Kardashian dealt with some sad health problems and Tristan Thompson was unfaithful during their time together.

Khloe Kardashian and her family have also dealt with an incredibly tough situation: the fact that their father and husband, Robert Kardashian Sr., was O.J. Simpson's lawyer during his 1994/1995 murder trial. In the time since then, there has been a persistent rumor about Khloe and Simpson. In this article, we'll take a look at the rumor that O.J. Simpson's death stirred up again, along with what the connection between Khloe and Simpson was really like.

People Questioned If O.J. Simpson Was Khloe Kardashian's Father After Simpson's Death

For several years, people wondered if O.J. Simpson was Khloe Kardashian's biological dad, and this rumor got a lot of attention once again when Simpson passed away in April 2024 from prostate cancer. According to The Daily Mail, someone posted on X:

"Has anyone checked on Khloé Kardashian? She must be devastated about her dad."

While several people posted on social media and said that he was Khloe's dad, there is no evidence that this is true. As The Daily Mail reported in 2019, O.J. Simpson said that he wasn't Khloe's dad, and posted a video on social media. He said:

"But never – and I want to stress never – in any way shape or form had I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically, sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are just bogus. Bad, you know, tasteless."

Inside Kris Jenner’s Relationship With Her Six Kids

The rumor appears to have started because of Jan Ashley, Robert Kardashian's second wife. According to Us Weekly, Ashley said that Robert explained that Simpson was Khloe's biological dad. Ashley said:

“Khloé is not his kid — he told me that after we got married. He just kind of looked at me and said [it] like it was a matter of fact. He said, ‘Well, you know that Khloé’s not really a Kardashian, don’t you? And I said … ‘OK,’ and that was it.”

However, even though Jan Ashley made this statement, no one has ever proven it.

Kris Jenner also said that Simpson wasn't Khloe's dad. According to The Hollywood Gossip, Kris mentioned the rumors in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and said, “They printed a story that I was sleeping with O.J." She added, "It’s really kind of pathetic that when rumors get started the media gives it life and breath and on the anniversary of Nicole’s death. It’s so tasteless and disgusting.”

All The Kardashian Kids In Order From Oldest To Youngest

Why Did The Kardashian Family Know O.J. Simpson? (According to People)

• Robert Kardashian and O.J. Simpson went to the same college
• became good friends and stayed friends after
• Kris Jenner became close to O.J.'s wife Nicole Brown Simpson
• Robert became O.J.'s lawyer when accused of killing Nicole

According to Buzzfeed News, Kris Jenner asked Khloe if she wanted to take a paternity test once because Kris had written about being unfaithful to Robert Kardashian in her memoir, "Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian," which was published in 2011. It seems like since Kris said that she was involved with someone else, that made people wonder if she had been with O.J. Simpson

Kris said, “There has to be a part of you that wants resolution in your heart.” As the publication reported, athlete Todd Waterman admitted that he and Kris were together when she was married.

What Was Khloe Kardashian's Relationship With O.J. Simpson Really Like?

Khloe Kardashian revealed some details about her family's relationship with O.J. Simpson over the years. According to Refinery 29, she referred to O.J. Simpson as her "uncle."

Khloe also said she felt uncomfortable watching the 2016 TV drama about the trial. When The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story aired in 2016, she addressed her feelings about it quite a few times. Since she remembered spending time with Simpson when she was younger since he was close to her family, it sounds like she found it odd to watch a fictional version of events.

She said:

"I just feel bad and I think I'm a little more sensitive to it because he was my uncle O.J."

Was Khloe Kardashian’s Net Worth Negatively Affected By Her Good American Lawsuit?

According to People, Khloe also talked about Simpson being her uncle in a 2009 episode of E! True Hollywood Story. She said:

"O.J. was always our Uncle O.J., Nicole was my Auntie Nicole. It's sad to see your parents go through so much pain for trying to be true friends.”

What Other Rumors Did Fans Spread About Khloe Kardashian?

• Khloe got back together with Tristan Thompson (according to People)
• Khloe got three face transplants (according to E! News)
• Khloe dated Nick Bosas (according to The Mirror US)

Since Khloe was 10 when O.J. Simpson was on trial, it would make sense if she didn't remember that much about the trial. While she has said that Simpson was a close part of her family, she doesn't appear to have commented on his charges, his acquittal, or other legal problems.

At the time of this writing, Khloe didn't say anything publicly about the death of O.J. Simpson. Several sources, including The Daily Mail and The Hollywood Gossip, noted that she shared a photo of herself working out at the gym.
