A recent episode of a popular reality series captured a notably uncomfortable family exchange, centered on a long-standing and controversial rumor.
The scene featured two sisters discussing a bible that once belonged to their late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. The item had historical significance, having been gifted by Robert to O.J. Simpson in 1994 during Simpson’s murder trial. One sister had recently acquired the bible at auction.
Upon receiving it, the conversation took a sharp turn toward a persistent piece of family lore: the unsubstantiated claim that O.J. Simpson is the biological father of one of the sisters. Jokes were exchanged, with the sibling in question quipping that the bible was meaningful because it came from “both” of her alleged fathers.
“Give it to me, both of my dads!” she said during the televised moment.
Throughout this entire exchange, their mother, a central figure in the family’s public life, remained conspicuously silent. Seated at the table, she offered no reaction, did not engage in the banter, and was seen focusing on her phone.
The awkward atmosphere briefly extended when another family member entered, innocently asked about handwriting in the bible, and was met with a reference to “my other dad.” The newcomer expressed surprise, calling the revelation “scary.”
The rumor at the heart of the jokes has been publicly denied by all parties involved for years. The mother has previously stated the claim is “an absolute lie,” while Simpson himself has denied any paternity or romantic involvement. Despite these denials, the speculation resurfaced as a source of dark humor within the family, creating a visibly tense dynamic on screen.
