Kris Jenner gave a surprising reaction after it was jokingly suggested O.J. Simpson could be Khloé Kardashian's 'real dad'.
Simpson stood trial in 1994 for the murders of Ron Goldman and Simpson’s wife Nicole Brown Simpson, a trial that was dubbed by many as the 'trial of the century'.
Despite being found not guilty, Simpson was found liable for the deaths in a civil suit brought by the families of Brown and Goldman.
The jury awarded the plaintiffs $33.5 million in damages following a seven-week trial. But in the end, the families would fail to recover most of that judgment.

Robert Kardashian Sr, Jenner's first husband, even formed part of Simpson's legal team during the trial - having been a friend of the Kardashian family.
And while Kardashian Sr is said to be Khloé's father, there has long been speculation Simpson could be her 'real dad'.
In a recent episode of The Kardashians that debuted this week, Kim Kardashian surprised sister Khloé with their dad's bible, which he, funnily enough, gifted to Simpson.
Kim had to bid anonymously for the item, as Khloé vented her frustration with: "What a******* not to just give it to us. It's proven he's our dad — just give it to us."
This led to SKIMS founder Kim referencing the long-running theory surrounding Simpson as she said: "Well, it’s questionable between which one – between O.J. and dad."
Khloé agreed with such a statement, adding 'either one' counts as their father.
Such a comment made Kim suggest her sister deserves the bible as it was shared 'between both' Simpson and Kardashian Sr.
“Both of my dads – give it to me!” Khloé then agreed.
While the conversation was going on, Jenner was silent on her phone and didn't engage at all. At the family's Palm Springs house, another comment was made about Simpson.
When younger sister Kylie Jenner arrived at the house she had a look inside the bible and asked if the handwriting was Robert's, to which Khloé replied, “No, that’s my other dad’s – O.J.’s.”
“Oh, that’s scary.
"Sorry," Kylie said.
Jenner has previously quashed speculation she had an affair with Simpson in a 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
"They printed a story that I was sleeping with O.J.," Jenner said. "That f****** piece of s***. It’s really kind of pathetic."
She continued: "After 25 years, you’d think it just wouldn’t be a thing. It’s just lie after lie after lie after lie, and it’s only so much that one human being can take. I’m so over stupid rumors of things that never happened. I think it’s just really wrong."
