OJ Simpson settles the Khloe Kardashian rumors

OJ Simpson knew Khloe Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, through his friend and attorney, Robert Kardashian. Robert was married to Kris at one point, and he is Khloe’s father. But rumor had it that it was OJ Simpson who was the father of the media personality. The ex-NFL star shut down all the bizarre rumors in a recent appearance on the ‘Full Send’ podcast.

“The rumor ain’t true. It’s not even anywhere close to being true,” Simpson said. He also denied ever having an affair with Jenner. He said people have their types and Jenner wasn’t at all his type.“People have their types, right? I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice. But I was dating supermodels,” he said.

Khloe had already tried to put a rest to the rumors by taking a DNA test on the family reality show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’. But the rumors still persisted. Maybe Simpson’s explanation puts a rest on these bizarre rumors. Simpson gained fame with his football skills. He got the nickname ‘The Juice’ for his run plays.

OJ Simpson rose to fame due to his energetic plays as an NFL running back. He joined the Buffalo Bills as the first overall pick of the 1969 NFL draft. He stayed a Buffalo player almost for the entirety of his career, only joining the San Francisco 49ers for his last two seasons in the league.
