Kim Kardashian’s father, the lawyer who helped defend O. J. Simpson, was named Robert Kardashian.
Robert George Kardashian was an American attorney and businessman. He was a member of Simpson’s defense team during the 1995 murder trial, a highly publicized case in Los Angeles. Kardashian’s participation brought additional attention to the family name.
He was married to Kris Jenner from 1978 until their divorce in 1991. They had four children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. Robert Kardashian later married Jan Ashley and Ellen Pierson.
The question asks for his first name, not his full name or his role on the defense team. He is also distinct from his son Rob Kardashian, whose first name is commonly confused with the abbreviated name “Rob.” The elder Kardashian died in 2003.
