Khloe Kardashian Just Fact Checked American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson So You Don't Have To
The #KUWTK star reacts to her dad's portrayal in the series.
The Kardashians know a thing or two about bringing reality to the small screen, so when FX announced that it would be recreating the real-life saga of the O.J. Simpson trial for TV in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, it was only a matter of time before the Kardashian weighed in. When Khloe Kardashian appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday, she revealed what you see in the series isn't exactly what happened IRL when her late father, Robert Kardashian, was hired by the former pro football player to serve as one of his defense attorneys when he stood trial in the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
"It's crazy... I've seen bits and pieces of the miniseries. I know it's a phenomenal miniseries. They've done a great job. I really appreciate the way they've portrayed my father. I'm very grateful for that," Khloe explained. "I haven't watched it fully — Kimberly has and she raves about it and loves it. But, um, not all the facts are accurate." She then broke down the key scenes that, according to her and her family, have been altered.
"Like when O.J. was contemplating suicide, it was in my room and not Kim's room. They're kind of sensationalizing the Kardashian name in it, but I think to bring a younger audience in. I'm not upset about it, but there was some scene of the 'kids' chanting 'Kardashian' when my dad was reading the potential suicide note. I even called Kim, because I was 10. I said, 'Did that happen? I don't remember any of this happening? She goes, 'Absolutely not did that happen!'" she said.
With audiences enthralled by the TV event, Khloe recalled what sounds to be a very surreal time in her childhood. "I was 10 and the teachers would close down the classroom. We would all be watching it on TV," she said. "It was so crazy, but I mean, people were really cruel during that time. They used to key 'guilty' on my dad's car when we were at church. It was horrible...They were incredibly mean and cruel."
