All The Black Men Who Helped Build The Kardashian Empire

O.J. Simpson

The Kardashian name entered our consciousness when they became associated with OJ Simpson. Robert Kardashian became close friends with Simpson in the early seventies and when all hell broke loose in 1994, when Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman turned up dead, OJ Simpson stayed at Rob’s house. Later, Kardashian would reactivate his legal license to be a part of Simpson’s defense team in one the most talked about trials of the century.

Though Rob and Kris had already divorced in 1991, she leveraged the salacious crime as a way to get her name out there as well. She was seen in the courtroom during the trial and wrote extensively about their relationship in her autobiography, even believing that she could have saved Nicole’s life.
