Khloé Kardashian Shares Her True Feelings About FX's 'The People v. O.J. Simpson'
Khloé Kardashian may not be tuning into FX's "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," but even she can't avoid the buzz surrounding it.
During an appearance on "The Late Late Show" hosted by James Corden Tuesday, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star revealed that she's heard nothing but good things about the crime miniseries. Us Weekly reports she told Corden that her sister Kim Kardashian "raves about it," but there are certain things in the show that haven't been portrayed exactly as they occurred.
Khloé, 31, said that while the show depicted O.J. Simpson (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) contemplating suicide in Kim's room, it actually took place in her childhood bedroom after he was accused of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend. The "Strong Looks Better Naked" author went on to say that she believe's producers are "sensationalizing" her family's name in an effort to draw in more young viewers.
"When O.J. was contemplating suicide it was in my room, not Kim's room," she said. "They're sort of sensationalizing the Kardashian name in it, I think, to bring a younger audience in."
Tuesday, Khloé also opened up about the show, and whether or not she had been tuning in, on her own series "Kocktails with Khloé." As was reported by Entertainment Tonight, the youngest of the Kardashian siblings told guests Carmen Electra and Ross Matthews that she was too afraid to watch the show because it "relived emotions" from that time in her life. The reality star's late father, Robert Kardashian, is portrayed by David Schimmer on the show and Selma Blair plays her mom, Kris Jenner. Ross was completely taken aback by this information, telling Khloé that if someone were portraying his parents on television he would absolutely tune in.
Khloé isn't the only one with a bone to pick with "People v. O.J. Simpson" producers. Kato Kaelin, a house guest-turned-witness in O.J.'s 1994-95 murder trial, spoke out negatively about his portrayal on Feb. 3. In an interview with the New York Daily News he revealed that Billy Magnussen, the actor chosen to portray him in the show, looks nothing like he did in the '90s. Kato was specifically annoyed with the actor's wig, which he found to be "ugly."
"The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST on FX.
