Kardashian family insiders believe Khloe may not be one of their own, at least biologically, an exclusive new tell-all book alleges.
As for the rumors that O.J. Simpson is Khloe’s father?
Well, despite that long-running rumor, which has regained traction lately, this new source says the Juice didn’t father Kardashian.
However, the insider is adamant that Kris Jenner conceived her with someone other than her then-husband, Robert Kardashian.
The 33-year-old Khloe has admitted that she questioned her paternity while she grew up on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Moreover, her mom Kris offered to conduct a DNA test before the release of her memoir (it’s unclear if a test was administered).
With O.J. Simpson getting paroled after nearly nine years in prison, rumors that he is her real father have once again resurfaced.
He’s almost certainly not. However …
Simpson’s connection to the famous family – he was best friends with, and represented by, Robert Kardashian – are impossible to deny.
So are the skeletons in Kris’ closet.
At the heart of this speculation, however, is the unquestioned, yet overly simple theory that Khloe looks totally different than her siblings.
Also, her parents were going through some really hard times back then, leading to myriad rumors of cheating and an eventual divorce.
Jerry Oppenheimer wrote in his book, The Kardashians: An American Drama, that this was not lost on the impressionable future celebrity:
“When Khloe got old enough, people in the Kardashians’ circle began to notice just how different she really did look and raised questions.”
Kris would explain away her daughter’s suspicions by saying that Khloe looked like her maternal great-grandmother, Lou Ethel Fairbanks.
Robert’s friend, Joni Migdal recalled how he would shrug off the same suspicions and claim that Khloe looked just like his mom, Helen.
Helen was Armenian but didn’t have Armenian features, which he felt made his explanation work, but the paternity questions lingered.
The elder Kardashian’s friend and minister Kenn Gulliksen added that he heard it from the man himself: “Kris and Robert had four children.”
“Well, three kids and somebody else’s kid. Bob never asked my counsel; I simply heard from him that Khloe wasn’t his biological daughter.”
So was the biological father then?!
Gulliksen isn’t sure, he says.
Robert may not have known, or at least wasn’t saying. “He gave me no names of who he thought [it] was. But I certainly know it wasn’t O.J.”
Kenn explained that, as far as he knows, Kris and Robert hadn’t slept together anywhere near the time frame in which Khloe was made.
The couple’s friend Joni added that Robert “didn’t want a DNA test done. He didn’t want to find out anything. He told [her], ‘I love Khloe."”
“‘She’s wonderful. She’s mine, period."”
Yet he supposedly knew it wasn’t so. Robert’s confirmation, Gulliksen says, was, “‘She’s mine and I don’t care who the father is.’”
However, Robert signed a sworn declaration that stated he had “four biological children” shortly before his death in September 2003.
Understandably, this has been hard on Khloe.
“The thing that most became overwhelming was when the stuff happened with one of my dad’s wives,” she said on Kocktails With Khloe.
Jan Ashley, who married Robert after he divorced Kris, also says Kardashian expressed the belief that Khloe was not truly his daughter.
“She wanted to come out 10 years after my dad passed away and say I’m not my dad’s daughter,” the reality star lamented.
“And he confided in her. I was like you can talk about me and my sisters all you f–king want. Do not talk about my dad.”
Sadly, we don’t imagine this will be the last time somebody does, especially with Simpson getting out of prison this fall.
