Kardashians Tackle O.J. Simpson Rumors Head-On in Latest Episode
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, reality star Khloe Kardashian took a lighthearted jab at the long-standing conspiracy theory suggesting O.J. Simpson is her biological father. The joke came during a poignant moment when sister Kim Kardashian gifted Khloe a Bible that once belonged to their late father, Robert Kardashian Sr.
The rumor, which has circulated for years, stems from the close friendship between O.J. Simpson and the Kardashian family, coupled with Kris Jenner’s admission of an affair during her marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. While Kris has never revealed the identity of the individual, the speculation around O.J. has persisted.
The sentimental Bible, inscribed with Robert Sr.’s name and notes, held significant meaning for the family. It was originally a gift from Robert Sr. to O.J.
Simpson. Kim Kardashian revealed she was the anonymous buyer who secured the Bible at auction for $80,276 in March, after a previous attempt to purchase it directly from O.J.
Simpson’s estate for $15,000 was rejected.
Upon receiving the treasured item, Khloe quipped about the estate’s initial refusal to sell it directly to the family, saying, “What a–holes just to not just give it to us.” She then playfully referenced the paternity rumor, adding, “It’s proven he’s our dad.”
Kim, playing along, responded, “Well, it’s questionable between which one, between O.J. and Dad.” Khloe concluded with a laugh, “Both of my dads.
Give it to me!”
The episode also saw Kim explaining the Bible’s significance to her daughter, Chicago, emphasizing its connection to her late father. “This is really special to me because this used to be my daddy’s,” she told her daughter, adding, “When someone goes to heaven, their energy is always here with us.”
In a confessional, Kim detailed the process of acquiring the Bible, explaining that her initial attempts to buy it directly from O.J. Simpson’s estate were met with leaked emails to TMZ. Believing the leaks were an attempt to drive up auction prices, Kim opted to use an alias to bid on the Bible, ensuring her name would not be publicly associated with the purchase.
