Kim Kardashian shares reason behind father's decision for her to witness OJ Simpson's double murder trial
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: OJ Simpson’s double murder trial was reportedly Kim Kardashian’s first experience of witnessing a trial directly in a courtroom.
The former NFL legend was charged with the killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
Why did Kim Kardashian attend OJ Simpson’s trial?
Reports at the time said that the pair’s life was taken away in 1994 and their remains were found in a narrow passageway next to Brown’s Los Angeles house.
During the former NFL legend’s trial, his friend and Kim’s father Rob Kardashian became his lawyer.
In November last year, the socialite told GQ, “My dad pulled Kourtney and me out of school. He said, ‘I want you girls to witness a piece of history and what a trial is like.’”

She further shared, “We walked in and saw my mom sitting on the other side. She said, ‘You’re supposed to be in school. What are you doing here?’ Kourtney and I didn’t even look at her.”
OJ Simpson’s trial was ‘really tough for’ the Kardashian-Jenner family
As per reports, Kris and Brown were good friends and the case proved “really tough for” the Kardashian-Jenner family.
“Kourtney and I were drawn to our dad. We felt like Mom was happily remarried, so we would live with Dad. We didn’t want him to be by himself,” Kim added in 2023.
