O.J. Simpson addresses swirling Khloe Kardashian rumour

O.J. Simpson has moved to respond to swirling rumours that have left a member of the famous Kardashian family furious.

O.J. Simpson: 'Khloe's not mine!'

O.J. Simpson has set the record straight on whether he’s Khloé Kardashian’s biological father – insisting there is no truth to the rumour.

During his appearance on the “Full Send” podcast Sunday, the former Buffalo Bills running back definitively said he’s never had an affair with Khloé’s mother, Kris Jenner, whom he knew via his lawyer, Robert Kardashian.

“People have their types, right? I always thought Kris was a cute girl,” the former NFL MVP said, according to the New York Post.

“She was really nice. But I was dating supermodels.”

When quizzed if he’s the Good American co-founder’s dad, the former athlete added, “The rumour ain’t true. It’s not even anywhere close to being true.”

The famed matriarch’s late ex-husband, Robert, was part of the legal team that defended Simpson when he was charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Robert died at age 59 in 2003.

While Simpson, 75, was acquitted in 1995, he was later found responsible for the wrongful death of Goldman in a civil lawsuit filed by Goldman’s family.

Back in 2017, Khloé slammed the rumour that Simpson could be her biological dad, branding trolls who spread the whispers “a***holes” and “haters”.

“People are a***holes but I don’t care lol. I focus on the good,” she said in response to one fan defending her. “They are all f***ed lol such a***holes. Hehe oh well… I’m happy and they hatin’.”

Jenner, 67, previously admitted to having an affair during her ill-fated marriage to Robert in her tell-all book, Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian.

“Robert had been the only man in my life since I was 18,” she wrote. “I don’t know why I was having a midlife crisis at 30, but I was. His name was Ryan, and he was a producer. We had wild sex everywhere, all the time.”
