It seems like the “trial of the century” may have finally come to a close.
Thrust into the spotlight more than 20 years ago, O.J. Simpson was granted parole after being convicted of burglary and armed robbery in 2008.
Simpson, known once as a star running back for New York’s Buffalo Bills, captured worldwide attention in the mid-1990s as the center of the trial for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He was found not guilty.
The world was reacquainted with Simpson in 2016 with FX’s breakout miniseries, “The People vs. O.J. Simpson,” a star-studded dramatic retelling of the infamous murder case.
But that’s not the only entertainment scandal Simpson’s been mixed up in. Rumors have swirled for years about Simpson’s involvement with the reigning family of reality — the Kardashians.

The main target of the gossip? Khloé Kardashian’s paternity.
Khloé, the youngest of Rob Kardashian’s daughters, has been at the receiving end of ridicule for year for her lack of resemblance to her two star sisters, Kim and Kourtney.
To some of the more conspiratorial fans, this discrepancy must mean one thing — her true father is O.J. Simpson.
And after Simpson’s most recent parole update, the trolls are back on the 33-year-old’s case once more: Some of them have flocked to the fashion designer’s Instagram to not so gently remind her of the theory.
Many sent Kardashian congratulatory remarks for her “true father” getting released from prison:

Screenshot/InstagramKardashian’s in on the theory, too, and it seems like in the past she was able to get in a good laugh about it.
Last October, the “Good American” founder posted a photo of herself to Instagram where her skin appeared lighter than normal. When a fan pointed out the tone difference, she cheekily referenced O.J. in her retort:
Screenshot/Instagram/The Shade Room“I don’t know … Some days I’m OJ’s daughter. Others I’m Robert’s daughter.’
Although likely intended as a joke, her quip was enough fuel for the conspirators’ fire. Many others took to Twitter on Thursday to spread their theory:
9 years is a really long time to go without seeing your father. I wonder if Khloe Kardashian is even gonna recognize OJ.

Well, there’s no more laughter coming from Khloé.
On Friday, she officially commented on all the negative attention via Twitter, calling her trolls “a**holes”:
the comments under Khloé's picture is sick. I'm so hurt she needs to deal with this all. Robert Kardashian is her father, leave her in peace

She wants her detractors to know that she’s still thriving:

Looks like Khloé won’t be sipping on the haters’ juice any longer.
