OJ Simpson’s death on Wednesday night once again highlights rumors of an illicit relationship with him that have dogged Kris Jenner for years.
The Kardashian star, 68, faced rumors that she had slept with Simpson during a 2019 episode of her family’s previous reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
While chatting with her daughter Khloé Kardashian, Kris unleashed her fury at reports that she had an affair with Simpson, who at the time was married 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, although he was later found responsible for their deaths in a 1997 civil suit brought by Goldman’s father. Simpson was ordered to pay $33.5 million in the verdict.

“They printed a story that I was sleeping with OJ,” Jenner said on KUWTK, calling the disgraced NFL star a “fucking piece of shit.”
He was especially bothered when rumors of an affair emerged on the 25th anniversary of Brown’s murder.
“It’s really pathetic that when rumors start, the media gives them life and encouragement on the anniversary of Nicole’s death. It’s so tasteless and disgusting,” he continued.
“After 25 years, you’d think it just wouldn’t exist,” Kris said as her eyes began to fill with tears. “It’s lie after lie after lie after lie, and it’s all a human being can handle.”
Jenner and her family have denied rumors that she had an affair with Simpson for years, but even the accused killer was on the same page.
While chatting with TMZ In 2018, he denied rumors that he fathered Khloé with Kris, rather than her husband at the time, the late Robert Kardashian, who died at age 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 he prevented Kardashian from being forced to testify against her friend.
His license to practice law had expired at the time of Brown’s murder, but he renewed it to join his then-friend’s legal team. In the years after Simpson’s trial ended, Kardashian reportedly came to distrust her previous certainty that Simpson was innocent and the two cut off communication.
Simpson later reiterated his denial of having fathered Khloé, and made it clear that he denied any form of romance with Jenner, even if it did not result in a child, when he joined Twitter (now rebranded as X) in 2019.

Brown and her friend Ron Goldman were stabbed to death in 1994, two years after she divorced Simpson. Simpson was acquitted of their murders but found responsible for their deaths in a 1997 civil trial.
“It’s really pathetic that when rumors start, the media gives them life and encouragement on the anniversary of Nicole’s death. It’s so tasteless and disgusting,” Jenner told her daughter Khloé on KUWTK in 2019; Viewed 2 March in Palm Beach, Florida.

After calling Robert Kardashian “like a brother” and a “great guy,” he stressed that he had never ‘I had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never had any indication that she had any interest in me. So all these stories are false, bad and in bad taste.
“I’m very proud of Khloé, like all the girls, just like I know Bob would be if he were here,” she added. “But the simple thing is, she’s not mine.”
During the return of affair rumors in 2019, Jenner stated on the same episode of KUWTK 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, that these stupid rumors are going around,” he told his family. ‘She is always there, beneath the surface. My team has decided to take legal action because once and for all I have to do something about this.’
