OJ Simpson denies being Khloe Kardashian's father
OJ Simpson has denied being the father of Khloe Kardashian as he rubbished rumours of a past romance with her mother Kris Jenner.
In a video message posted on Twitter on Father's Day, the former NFL star criticised "bogus" and "tasteless" stories suggesting he had a sexual relationship with Jenner.
Jenner's former husband, Robert Kardashian, was part of Simpson's legal team when he was cleared of the brutal murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in a 1995 trial that gripped the world.

Simpson said: "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.
"But never, and I want to stress never, in any way shape or form, have I ever had any interest in Kris romantically or sexually.
"And I never got any indication that she ever had any interest in me. So all of these stories are just bogus. Bad. Tasteless."
Simpson said he was "very proud" of Khloe Kardashian and her sisters, before adding: "Just like I know Bob would be if he was here.
"The simple fact of the matter is - she's not mine."
Simpson signed off the message by saying: "Happy Father's Day. Take care."

The 71-year-old launched his Twitter account last week with a video post saying he had a "little gettin' even to do".
He has generally kept a low profile since his release from prison in October 2017 for robbery and kidnapping after he attempted to steal back some of his sports memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room.
OJ Simpson is one of the most polarizing people on the planet and the years since he was released from prison, he has kept fairly quiet and to himself. Well, now the Juice is really loose as he started his own Twitter account where he has a lot of "getting even to do." While the concept of Simpson on Twitter is both terrifying and hilarious, he is now using his platform to set the record straight on a bunch of rumors that have surrounded him since he was accused of murder back in 1994.
One of the biggest rumors around OJ was his alleged affair with Kris Jenner. Some believe that Khloe Kardashian is actually OJ's daughter and not the offspring of the late Robert Kardashian. Simpson was clearly sick of hearing about this because he took to Twitter with a video where he explains how none of these rumors are true.

As he explains, Kris and Robert had a great relationship when they were together and that he never felt attracted to her and vice versa. Simpson says he never felt compelled to have an affair with her and that the man making these claims was never actually his manager.
Kris and Khloe will probably be happy to hear OJ finally put these rumors to bed, although in pure internet fashion, the Twitter brigade will run with the narrative as they usually do.
