The death of O.J. Simpson on Wednesday night is bring back into focus the rumors of an illicit affair with him that have dogged Kris Jenner for years.
The 68-year-old Kardashians star was confronted with the rumors that she had slept with Simpson during a 2019 episode of her family’s previous reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
While chatting with her daughter Khloé Kardashian, Kris unleashed her fury at reports claiming she had an affair with Simpson, who had been married at the time to her best friend Nicole Brown.
The marriage, which had been marred by Simpson’s domestic abuse of Brown, ended with their divorce in 1992. Brown was stabbed to death on June 12, 1994, along with her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson was tried for their murders but was acquitted, though he was later found liable for their deaths in a 1997 civil trial filed by Goldman’s father. Simpson was ordered to pay $33.5 million in the verdict.

‘They printed a story that I was sleeping with O.J.,’ Jenner said on KUWTK, calling the disgraced NFL star a ‘f***ing piece of s***.’
She was particularly upset that the whispers of an affair popped up on the 25th anniversary of Brown’s murder.
‘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,’ she continued.
‘After 25 years, you’d think it just wouldn’t be a thing,’ Kris said as her eyes started to well up with tears. ‘It’s just lie after lie after lie after lie, and it’s only so much that one human being can take.’
Jenner and her family have denied the rumors that she had an affair with Simpson for years, but even the accused murderer was on the same page.
While chatting with TMZ in 2018, he denied rumors that he had fathered Khloé with Kris, rather than her husband at the time, the late Robert Kardashian, who died at 59 in 2003 from esophageal cancer.
Kardashian was one of Simpson’s best friends and had even joined his legal ‘dream team’ at his murder trial. However, his participation as a volunteer attorney was mostly strategic, as it prevented Kardashian from being compelled to testify against his friend.
His license to practice law had lapsed at the time of Brown’s murder, but he renewed it so as to join his then-friend’s legal team. In the years after Simpson’s trial ended, Kardashian reportedly came to distrust his earlier certainty that Simpson was innocent, and the two cut off communications.
Simpson later reiterated his denial that he had fathered Khloé — and made it clear that he was denying any form of an affair with Jenner, even if it didn’t result in a child — when he joined Twitter (now renamed X) in 2019.

She said she planned to sue the publication that printed the rumor. Simpson, whom she called a ‘f***ing piece of s***’ denied the rumor in 2018 and 2019; seen March 21 in Santa Monica
After calling Robert Kardashian ‘like a brother’ to him and a ‘great guy,’ he stressed that he never ‘had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.’
‘Khloé, like all the girls, I am very proud of, just like I know Bob would be if he was here,’ he added. ‘But the simple facts of the matter is she is not mine.’
During the 2019 return of the affair rumors, Jenner declared on the same KUWTK episode that she planned to sue the publication that had published ‘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 told her family. ‘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.’
