Khloé Kardashian Thinks Stress From O.J. Simpson Trial Killed Her Father

The FX miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story has brought the 1994-1995 murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson back into the spotlight. For Khloé Kardashian, whose late father Robert Kardashian served on the former NFL star’s defense team, this means some difficult memories from that era have resurfaced.

During this week’s episode of Kocktails With Khloé airing on Wednesday, the 31-year-old host details just how dark things got for her family during the the time of the trial. Khloé reveals that the word “guilty” was keyed all over their cars and “cops hated” them because their father “was defending O.J.” Khloé says that people wouldn’t even allow them to “eat at their establishments."

The reality star also feels that the stress of the trial may have played a role in her father’s 2003 death. "What I do respect is that [regardless of] what my dad did or didn’t know, my dad would never betray his friend’s trust,” she says. “He never spoke about it. My dad also died of throat cancer which does not run in my family. My dad doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink. I think holding in secrets [and] stress kills you! I feel like you manifest things, you have to think — I’m into symbolic situations."
