Khloé Kardashian’s name immediately began trending on X (previously known as Twitter) following the death of OJ Simpson at his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum as well as her mother’s name and former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, all began trending on Thursday morning
‘Has anyone checked on Khloé Kardashian? She must be devastated about her dad,’ one snarky X user wrote, while another said they would be ‘praying’ for the Good American founder ‘during this difficult time.’
While her former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, harshly tweeted ‘good riddance’ in the immediate wake of Simpson’s passing, Khloé has not publicly commented on the news.
She did, however, post a video of herself at the gym, showing off her incredibly fit figure in a black tank top and pair of high-waisted leggings from Fabletics.
In the footage, uploaded to her Instagram Story, the TV personality zoomed onto her perky bottom while keeping her face covered behind her phone.
Kardashian is the youngest child of Kris Jenner and the late attorney, Robert Kardashian, who famously defended Simpson during his 1995 murder trial.
Khloé was only nine-years-old when Simpson was arrested on suspicion of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
In 2009 during a E! True Hollywood Story, Khloé said she use to refer to Simpson as ‘Uncle OJ’ and Brown as ‘Auntie Nicole.’
Jenner was so close to Brown that following her death she paid homage to her pal by giving daughter Kendall Jenner the middle name, Nicole.

Some Kardashian fans pointed out all the phony condolences were going to confuse Khloé
In 2019, Simpson vehemently denied that he was Khloé father amid rumors that she was conceived during an alleged fling with her mother in the 1990s, which he also stated never happened.
‘I want to stress never – in any way shape or form had I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically, sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me,’ Simpson said in a video, posted to X.
He continued: ‘So all of these stories are just bogus. Bad, you know, tasteless.’
Simpson mentioned his close relationship with Robert Kardashian, the family patriarch who died in 2003.
While her former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, harshly tweeted ‘good riddance’ in the immediate wake of Simpson’s passing, Khloé has not publicly commented on the news.
‘Khloe, like all the (Kardashian) girls, I’m very proud of, just like I know Bob would be if he was here,’ Simpson said.
‘But the simple facts of the matter is she’s not mine.’
Norman Pardo, who says he once managed Simpson, has been blamed for circulating the rumor of Simpson’s paternity.
But Simpson denied that Pardo ever managed him, saying he is someone who ‘the media love to say is my manager.’
‘I’ve always managed my own affairs, and I’d like to think very successfully,’ Simpson said.
‘So, when you see these guys like Norm, and these guys claim that they are my manager, it’s just not true.
‘I’ve may have done a deal here or there with them, but none of these guys were anything remotely like a manager for me.’

Simpson’s tweet came in response to Pardo claiming that the former Buffalo Bills great once bragged to him about his steamy ‘hot-tub hookup’ with Kris that sent her to the hospital because of the size of his manhood.
Pardo said that the former NFL star boasted about having sex with Jenner in a hot tub in the 1990s, according to the New York Post.
Pardo made the claim in his documentary Who Killed Nicole?, referring to Simpson’s ex-wife, whom the football player was controversially acquitted of murdering.
At the time, Kris, who has denied having sex with Simpson, was married to her first husband Robert and Simpson was married to Nicole when the alleged jacuzzi encounter supposedly occurred.
While Kris previously admitted to TMZ’s Harvey Levin on OBJECTified that she philandered on Robert with a soccer player, she insisted to In Touch that she never slept with Simpson.
