00:00 Kris Jenner is known for making any story disappear to protect her family,
00:04 but there's one story she can't get rid of.
00:07 Rumors of OJ Simpson and Kris Jenner having a steamy affair.
00:10 I answered the phone and it was a call from jail. It was OJ.
00:13 OJ Simpson accused of brutally slaughtering his ex-wife Nicole Simpson.
00:18 Kris's best friend.
00:19 I will always feel guilty.
00:21 Some people think like you might be Khloe Kardashian's real dad.
00:24 I always thought Kris was a cute girl.
00:26 Did OJ ever try to reach out to you at all?
00:28 My loyalty was with Nicole and her family.
00:31 Today we're diving into how losing her best friend Nicole Brown
00:35 made Kris the mom she is today and exposing her dark past with OJ Simpson.
00:40 He was like a big brother to me.
00:42 I've known OJ since I was 17 years old.
00:44 When I met Robert, I met OJ.
00:46 We were really good family friends.
00:48 The kind of friends that you spend every holiday together and go on family vacations together.
00:53 When Kris met OJ's wife, Nicole Brown, they hit it off right away.
00:57 Nicole Brown Simpson was one of my best friends.
01:01 OJ was Uncle OJ to us.
01:03 Nicole was Aunt Nicole.
01:04 She was such a beautiful soul and had so much love to give to her family, her kids.
01:11 Nicole was the best mother I had ever known.
01:13 It was all about her kids.
01:14 Sure, that was her life.
01:16 I love you.
01:17 When you watch this tape when you get older,
01:20 see that little quilt you're laying on?
01:22 Mommy made that for you.
01:24 Kris thought she and Nicole shared everything with each other.
01:27 But Nicole was hiding her pain to protect her kids.
01:30 911, emergency.
01:31 Can you get someone over here now?
01:33 He's back.
01:34 Please.
01:35 Okay, what does he look like?
01:36 He's OJ Simpson.
01:37 Going nuts.
01:38 And when Nicole was finally going to open up to Kris about her pain,
01:44 Kris received a devastating phone call.
01:47 I was coming back from taking the kids to school and I was supposed to meet Nicole.
01:53 She and I were supposed to have lunch.
01:55 She said she wanted to show me some things and talk about what was in her safe.
01:59 I was going to change and go meet her.
02:00 Her mom called me.
02:02 I picked up the phone and she actually said, "Nicole's been shot."
02:05 I said, "Okay, I'm on my way. Where do I go?"
02:07 And she said, "No, she didn't make it."
02:10 OJ Simpson accused of killing his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.
02:15 That's probably what she wanted to reveal to me, which broke my heart.
02:19 I will always feel guilty that I didn't pay more attention.
02:24 That was really traumatizing for her.
02:26 Struggling with her own guilt about not being there for Nicole,
02:30 Kris watched as the whole world forgot about Nicole and only focused on OJ.
02:35 In the case of the century, the most famous man ever charged with murder.
02:41 OJ Simpson's trial is a business.
02:44 It's a business for the media.
02:46 It's a business for the people selling t-shirts.
02:48 Kris put her own grief aside to be strong for Nicole's family.
02:52 Nicole's mom called me and said, "Can we go get all Sidney and Justin's stuff out of their rooms?"
02:57 The LAPD left the blood on the steps and going all down the front of her house.
03:03 And I opened the door and I almost fainted because the whole house was black.
03:10 I've never been to a crime scene before, so I didn't know what fingerprinting really would entail.
03:15 This is like, this was frozen in f***ing time.
03:19 But Kris was so focused on being there for Nicole that she was forgetting her own family.
03:24 It was very difficult because my ex-husband was on one side and,
03:28 you know, I was kind of on the other. The kids were in the middle.
03:31 My dad took us to court one day with him and didn't tell my mom.
03:34 And I remember my mom was sitting with Nicole's parents
03:37 and Courtney and I were sitting right behind OJ.
03:39 It kind of tore our family apart.
03:42 Kris's kids sided with Robert because they hadn't forgiven her for a painful mistake
03:48 she'd made years earlier.
03:50 I had an affair.
03:51 With a soccer player.
03:53 I did. One of my biggest regrets in my life is that that marriage fell apart.
03:58 We always protected our dad because we felt bad for him because he didn't want the divorce.
04:03 We knew it was my mom's fault.
04:05 Kris lost her family and Nicole was the only one there for her
04:09 when she received more heartbreaking news.
04:12 I got pregnant and had a miscarriage and my body entirely shut down.
04:18 I was moody and depressed.
04:20 Nicole really got me through that.
04:22 She told me, "I promise you'll get pregnant again.
04:25 I'm going to give you all of my maternity clothes."
04:28 The most amazing girlfriend.
04:30 And in the middle of Nicole's trial, the promise she made to Kris came true
04:34 when she discovered that she was having a baby.
04:36 This has been a really tough year, you know, tough 15 months for all of us.
04:41 Kris was actually pregnant with Kendall Jenner.
04:44 I think I've realized that I've latched on to the legal side of stuff
04:48 rather than deal with the emotional side of myself that just misses my girlfriend.
04:54 I mask my emotion of sadness.
04:58 I know you do.
04:58 So well.
05:00 Because I can be angry.
05:01 And when Kris received a shocking call, she didn't hold her emotions back.
05:06 Did OJ ever try to reach out to you at all?
05:08 It was dinner time when we were all sitting down and I answered the phone
05:13 and it was a call from jail.
05:14 And it was OJ.
05:17 And I handed my mom the phone because he wanted to speak to her
05:19 and I just remember them getting into it.
05:21 He wanted to talk and explain how he felt.
05:26 My mom was extremely vocal on her feelings.
05:29 She was believed that, you know, her friend was murdered by him.
05:37 My loyalty was with Nicole and her family.
05:41 Kris Jenner shows up to court wearing Nicole Brown's maternity clothes.
05:45 Kris remembered what Nicole had taught her and learned to put her kids first,
05:50 the same way Nicole always had.
05:52 Family's everything.
05:54 So that comes first.
05:55 As soon as I really sort of surrendered my life to my kids,
05:59 to putting all my priorities back in to the right place,
06:02 I learned from all those mistakes.
06:04 I think I have one regret and that was getting divorced.
06:07 But then I turn it around.
06:10 I always say, "Kendall and Kylie."
06:13 "Kendall and Kylie."
06:15 That says it all.
06:16 Kendall, what's your middle name?
06:18 My middle name is Nicole.
06:20 My middle name is after Nicole Brown Simpson
06:24 because that was my mom's best friend.
06:25 And I'm honored to have this name.
06:27 Kris got her family back.
06:30 But 25 years later, on the anniversary of Nicole's death,
06:34 the media accused Kris of committing the ultimate betrayal.
06:39 Oh my God, did you see that article?
06:43 OJ Simpson once bragged about his hot tub hookup
06:47 with wife's best friend Kris Jenner that led the momager needing hospital treatment.
06:52 What?
06:54 Saying that he f***ed that b***h until I broke her.
06:57 That never happened.
06:58 Rumors of OJ Simpson and Kris Jenner having a steamy affair.
07:02 Many fans have even accused OJ Simpson of being Khloe Kardashian's father.
07:06 Khloe Kardashian, so obviously not a Kardashian.
07:09 After 25 years, you'd think that it just wouldn't be a thing.
07:15 But this time, Kris didn't let anything come between her and her family.
07:20 I'm so over stupid rumors of things that never happened.
07:27 I think it's just really unfair to Nicole's family, my family.
07:33 Once and for all, I have to do something about it.
07:35 I sued the Daily Mail today.
07:37 I just called my attorneys and I said, "Take it down or we're coming after you."
07:41 Kris will always protect Nicole's memory,
07:44 but now she's focused on remembering the good times they had together.
07:48 The last time I was here was with you and Nicole.
07:51 We sat right over there.
07:52 I wasn't gonna cry.
07:55 I think that instead of focusing on something so tragic,
08:00 I think we just need to have these amazing memories that we had with her.
08:05 And celebrate the beautiful woman that she was.
08:08 Nicole changed Kris's life forever, showing her what was truly important.
08:17 My kids are my life.
08:19 You just helped us fulfill our dreams and what our potential was.
08:23 Life is about hardships.
08:25 The Kardashians, we get through things and we get through them together.
08:30 Never underestimate what that person that you don't have with you anymore
08:35 has meant to your life and your soul.
