Kim Kardashian was reportedly blocked from buying a Bible Robert Kardashian Sr gifted OJ Simpson, which included a note from her dad. The Bible, which was given to the late football player the day after he was arrested for murder, has now been sold at an auction for $80,000 (£62,000).
The executor of OJ’s estate, Malcolm LaVergne, said the Bible also included a handwritten note from Kim’s father dated June 18, 1994. “OJ, this book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book every day. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you”, the note read.

According to RadarOnline, Kim wanted to buy the book but it was denied by the late football star’s estate. The Mirror have reached out to Kim’s representatives for comment.
Robert died in September 2003, just two months after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. The lawyer rose to prominence through his involvement in the OJ Simpson murder trial.
The lawyer was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in July 2003. The sad news came as a shock to his loved ones as he didn’t smoke or drink. There was also no history of cancer in his family.
Kim had been very close to her dad and recently revealed how she learned his cancer was terminal. Robert had been dining out with his family at their favourite Armenian restaurant when he struggled to swallow his food and seemed unwell.
When they went to the hospital, the doctor revealed to Kim and her sister Kourtney Kardashian that their dad’s cancer was terminal.
Robert didn’t want to tell his parents about his diagnosis, but Kim thought it was important for them to know. “I called them, and they were, like, ‘ What? What are you talking about? We’ll be there in a few hours”, Kim recalled in an interview with GQ magazine.
“They came up from Palm Springs, and]their son] was in bed. Can you imagine? They were close, and to not tell them. My grandmother was never the same again”.
Khloe Kardashian previously talked about her father’s in her memoir Strong Looks Better Naked. She said: “At the funeral, when I saw my father in his casket, I completely fell apart.
” I don’t remember the details, but apparently I was an emotional wreck, and I’m told that I was so distraught I actually passed out. At one point I fell to the floor kicking and screaming, and I had to be sedated.
“It was really intense. I refused to believe my father was gone”.
