Khloe Kardashian's name immediately became popular on X after the death of OJ Simpson. Following news that the former athlete and actor accused of killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend had died of prostate cancer, social media users began expressing “condolences” for the 39-year-old reality TV star, claiming that Simpson was her biological father.
Despite Simpson himself repeatedly denying these baseless rumors, Khloe was trolled with posts on Instagram and X expressing "sorry" for her loss.
Khloe has not publicly commented on the news. Instead, she posted a video at the gym, showing off her incredibly toned figure in a black tank top and leggings from Fabletics.
Khloe is the youngest daughter of Kris Jenner and late lawyer Robert Kardashian, who famously defended Simpson during his 1995 murder trial.
Khloe was just nine years old when Simpson was arrested on suspicion of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her boyfriend, Ronald Goldman.
In 2009, Khloe said she called Simpson "Uncle OJ" and Brown, "Aunt Nicole."
In 2019, Simpson vehemently denied that he was Khloe's father, amid rumors that she was conceived during an alleged affair with her mother in the 1990s.
“I want to emphasize that at no time in any way shape or form was I interested in Chris romantically or sexually, and I never received any indication that she had any interest in me,” Simpson had said in a video posted on X. “So all these stories are just fiction. Bad and tasteless."
Simpson had noted his close relationship with Robert Kardashian, the family patriarch who died in 2003.
Norman Pardo, who claims to have been Simpson's manager, is blamed for these rumors. But Simpson had denied that Prado was his manager.
Simpson's respective tweet had come in response to Pardo's claim that the former Buffalo Bills player once bragged to him about a hot "hot tub date" with Kris Jenner that landed her in the hospital because of the size of his manhood. Pardo made the remarks in his documentary Who Killed Nicole? referring to Simpson's ex-wife, whom the National Football League (NFL) player was acquitted of murdering.
At the time, Kris, who denied having sex with Simpson, was married to her first husband Robert, and Simpson was married to Nicole when the alleged meeting in the hot tub allegedly took place.
Although Kris Jenner previously admitted to TMZ's Harvey Levin that she cheated on Robert with the NFL player, she insisted she never slept with Simpson.
