Some Kardashian fans pointed out that all the fake condolences were going to confuse Khloe.
In 2019, Simpson vehemently denied being Khloé’s father amid rumors that she was conceived during an alleged affair with her mother in the 1990s, which he claimed never happened.
“I want to emphasize that I have never, in any way, had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never had any indication that she had any interest in me,” Simpson said in a video posted on X.
He continued: ‘So all these stories are simply false. Bad, you know, in bad taste.
Simpson mentioned her close relationship with Robert Kardashian, the family patriarch who died in 2003.
While her former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, harshly tweeted “goodbye” immediately after Simpson’s passing, Khloé has not publicly commented on the news.
“I’m very proud of Khloe, like all the (Kardashian) girls, just like I know Bob would be if he were here,” Simpson said.
“But the simple fact of the matter is, she’s not mine.”
Norman Pardo, who says he once represented Simpson, has been blamed for circulating the rumor about Simpson’s paternity.
But Simpson denied that Pardo ever managed him, saying he is someone “the media loves to say is my manager.”
“I have always managed my own affairs and I would like to think myself very successful,” Simpson said.
“So when you see these guys like Norm, and these guys claim they’re my manager, it’s just not true.
“I may have made a deal here or there with them, but none of these guys were even remotely close to a manager to me.”
