What Was O.J. Simpson’s Connection To The Kardashians?

Over the decades, her family had distanced itself from the man who played a significant role in propping up the Kardashian name.

Kim's father, Robert Kardashian , met Mr. Simpson through their ties to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Mr. Kardashian earned a business degree there in 1966, and Mr. Simpson was a star running back for the school in 1967 and 1968.

The two became close in the 1970s, when Mr. Simpson was a standout in the National Football League and Mr. Kardashian was a rising lawyer and entrepreneur in Los Angeles. His businesses included entertainment properties and a frozen yogurt company.

Mr. Simpson and Ms. Brown married in 1985 and divorced in 1992. Mr. Kardashian remained friends with Mr. Simpson throughout those years, and his wife became close with Ms. Brown Simpson.
