O.J. Simpsonhas once again addressed speculation surrounding his relationship with the Kardashian family.
The former athlete, 71, recently joined Twitter and said he would be using the platform to"set the record straight"— and he started with the long-circulated conspiracy theory that he had an affair withKris Jennerwhile she was married toRobert Kardashian Sr., resulting in the birth ofKhloé Kardashian.
“My life has always been involved in the sports world and I suspect as the weeks go on, that’s pretty much what we’ll be talking about. But once in a while I’m going to go off topic and talk about something else, and this is one of those times,” he began in a video posted on Sunday. “You know, Bob Kardashian, he was like a brother to me. He was a great guy.”
“He met and married Kris and they really had a terrific time together, when they were together. Unfortunately, that ended,” he continued. “But never — and I want to stress, never, in any shape or form — have I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.”
“Khloé, like all the girls, I am very proud of, just like I know Bob would be if he was here,” he added. “But the simple facts of the matter is she is not mine.”
Reps for Jenner and Kardashian did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, but the family has longdismissed the rumor.
After Kardashian welcomed daughterTruewith basketball playerTristan Thompsonlast year, an Instagram user commented that their daughter is “black, which proves that O.J. Simpson is Khloé’s dad.”
“I mean… her dad is black silly,” responded Kardashian, 34. “That’s why she’s black babe.”
Simpson previously denied being Kardashian’s father after she announced her pregnancy last year, tellingTMZ, “I’m happy for them. Congratulations to her. But trust me, I have nothing to do with it. I would be proud if I had anything to do with it, but I don’t.”
And in 2018, the Kardashian and Jenner girls all took 23 and Me DNA tests on an episode ifKeeping Up with the Kardashians.
“You are my sister,“Kourtney Kardashianjoked after Khloé read her results aloud, announcing that she is 58% European and 41.6% Middle Eastern. (Robert Kardashian’s ancestors were Armenian.) “Thank God. If you weren’t Middle Eastern at all, we would be in big trouble.”
