Savannah Guthrie Reflects on Asking Khloé Kardashian About Paternity Rumors

The journalist described the 2012 interview as an embarrassing moment driven by producer pressure to address unverified claims involving O.J. Simpson.

  • Savannah Guthrie revisited a 2012 interview with Khloé Kardashian, calling it an embarrassing experience as a new Today co-anchor.
  • Producers urged Guthrie to ask Kardashian about rumors that her biological father was not Robert Kardashian but O.J. Simpson, despite the claims being unverified.
  • Guthrie waited until the last seconds of the segment to ask the question, which Kardashian handled gracefully, defusing the awkward moment.
  • Khloé Kardashian has repeatedly denied the rumors over the years, and O.J. Simpson also dismissed them as false during a 2022 podcast appearance.
  • The rumors have persisted despite Kris Jenner's 2011 memoir confirming she had an affair during her marriage to Robert Kardashian, but not with Simpson.
