Khloe Kardashian is narked by a theory which claims that she is the result of an affair between Kris Jenner and O.J. Simpson.

The theory, which all members of clan Kardashian have rubbished, claims Kris and O.J. were engaged in a sordid affair while married to Rob Kardashian Snr and Nicole Brown Simpson respectively.

Often used to slight Kris, the allegation grew a fresh pair of legs once Kardashians rose to fame in their own light following the sale and release of Kim Kardashian’s adult movie.

What any of this has to do with anything that’s happening in today’s world?

 

An enraged Khloe took to Twitter to blast the idea that O.J was her father after the world learned that he is to be released from prison.

Joseline Hernandez has had enough.

The reality star saw her feud with ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ creator Mona Scott Young spill onto social media and eventually back onto the show’s finale.

As seen on the climax of the VH1 series, Hernandez “quit” and a history of her “problematic” behaviour was broadcast.

Irked by this, the 29-year-old stopped by The Breakfast Club today to tell her side of the story.

Renown for her fiery persona, the star showed an altogether more demure side when she broke down in tears over her depiction.

Remarkably though, she appeared open to the idea of joining the much rumored (and clearly “happening”) ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Miami.’ Especially now that she has lives there again.

Watch Joseline talk about a whole lot after the jump…

After enduring horrendous levels of violence, Nicole Brown freed herself from her husband O.J Simpson by filing for divorce in the February of 1992.

Two years later, she and her good friend Ron Goldman were stabbed to death at her home in Brentwood, California.

After a lengthy trial, Simpson was acquitted of their deaths but was found liable for them in civil court and this, much to his horror, meant he was obligated to pay the families of the deceased a sum of $33.5 million.

The problem?

He’s still yet to cover this debt and is now under pressure to cough up the cash now that he has been granted parole  and is expected to be released from prison after serving time for an unrelated crime.

David Cook, a lawyer representing Goldman’s heartbroken family, revealed:

I have a difficult job. My job is to collect on his civil judgment and not let the flame of Ron Goldman’s memory go out. He has one of the world’s three most recognizable names right now — his, the guy sitting in the White House and Vladimir Putin.When you have a name brand like this, you’re going to monetize it.

Cook hopes Simpson’s quest to capitalise on his latest case will force him to deliver the money he owes to the relatives of his alleged victims.

He had this to say before yesterdays’ announcement:

The good news for Mr. Simpson is he’s [probably] going to get out of jail. The bad news is I’m in pretty good health.
