A recent episode of the reality show The Kardashians has sparked renewed discussion about one of the family’s most enduring and controversial rumors. The segment featured sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian engaging in a darkly humorous exchange about the long-standing public speculation that O.J. Simpson, not the late Robert Kardashian Sr., is Khloé’s biological father. The moment was particularly notable for the reaction, or lack thereof, from their mother, Kris Jenner.

The conversation began when Kim surprised Khloé with their father’s bible, an item he had originally gifted to O.J. Simpson. Khloé expressed frustration at having to bid for the family heirloom, to which Kim jokingly replied, “Well, it’s questionable between which one – between O.J. and dad.” Khloé played along, agreeing that “either one” could be considered her father and later exclaiming, “Both of my dads – give it to me!” Throughout this entire exchange, Kris Jenner, who was present, remained conspicuously silent, focusing on her phone without engaging in the banter.
The rumor has been a persistent shadow over the family for decades, fueled by the close relationship between Robert Kardashian Sr. and O.J. Simpson. Kardashian was a key member of Simpson’s legal “Dream Team” during the infamous 1994 murder trial. The physical resemblance between Khloé and Simpson has often been cited by tabloids and the public as unofficial evidence, keeping the theory alive in popular culture despite repeated denials from the family.
This is not the first time Kris Jenner has had to address the painful allegation. Back in 2019, she used her previous show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, to forcefully deny having had an affair with Simpson. She referred to the story as a “piece of s***” and expressed frustration that “after 25 years, you’d think it just wouldn’t be a thing.” Her vehement denial then makes her silent reaction in the recent episode all the more telling, suggesting a topic that remains too sensitive for even dark humor within the family.
The moment highlights the complex intersection of the Kardashians’ very public lives with a deeply painful chapter in their history. While her daughters have reached an point where they can joke about the rumor, Kris Jenner’s silent reaction speaks volumes. It underscores a clear boundary, indicating that for the family matriarch, the speculation is not a subject for levity, but a hurtful allegation connected to the tragic murder of her close friend, Nicole Brown Simpson.
