It has been noted that nearly five years ahead of O.J. Simpson’s death, Kris Jenner had cried over tabloid rumors of an affair with the controversial former athlete via People.
During a November 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Jenner, 68, reacted to articles which was surfacing regarding a romance between her and Simpson, who was married to Jenner’s late best friend Nicole Brown Simpson at the time. She expressed particular irritation that the rumors surfaced on the anniversary of Brown Simpson’s death.
“They printed a story that I was sleeping with O.J.,” she told daughter Khloé Kardashian. “That f—ing piece of s—. 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.”
It has been noted that both the Kardashians and Simpson have denied the conspiracy theory that the ex-football player was secretly Khloé’s biological father.
“After 25 years, you’d think it just wouldn’t be a thing,” Jenner said while tearing up. “It’s just lie after lie after lie after lie, and it’s only so much that one human being can take.”
Later in the episode, she revealed that she would sue the publication that printed what she called “stupid rumors of things that never really happened.”
“I just think it’s really unfair to Nicole’s family, my family, for these stupid rumors to be flying around out there,” she reasoned. “It’s always right there under the surface. My team has decided to take legal action because once and for all I have to do something about it.”
