- Full Barbara Walters interview with OJ Simpson's former friend and defense attorney Robert Kardashian after the trial which acquitted him of murder. In this interview, Kardashian expresses doubt over OJ Simpson's innocence. Interview aired on ABC's 20/20.
This is my first time hearing this man speak. He is the complete opposite of his family today... comes off incredibly intelligent, soft spoken and very self aware.
What you're seeing is how the family values were before Kris Jenner began pimping our her kids for fame & money.
@@steppy3736 the accuracy.
And don't forget he was a sick man dying of Cancer!
Nicole didn't even like Kris Jenner. She bitched out OJ when he invited her to Puerto Rico
Honestly I've always noticed Kim to be very intelligent can't front.
His face after the verdict was priceless. He couldn't believe it
Yep looks like he was going to throw up and the color drained from his face.
@@paulanderson9407Exactly…Robert’s facial expression was not one of relief or victory. He knew OJ was guilty, he was just being a loyal friend. That’s how Kris Jenner even put it…Robert was a loyal friend until the end. He died of throat cancer. If I was a believer in karma, I would think it was from keeping OJ’s secrets.
He knew oj was guilty as hell
Karma got him and Cochran quick
Can't fake that initial split second reaction.
I met Robert Kardashian at a meeting at CMA in Nashville in 1995. His clients owned many movie theaters on the west coast and we were trying to get them to play country music trivia on screens between movies. I was the only female in the meeting and when I walked into the room, Kardashian was the only man to stand when I sat at the table. He was very respectful and kind.
I don’t know how respectful Robert Kardashian could have married Kris Jenner, the pig.
I want to stand for a lady when she approaches/leaves a table, tho I’m very considerate & polite to a woman already, old-fashioned, as my father taught my brother & I
I don’t do that b/c I believe some women would be offended or think I’m ‘trying too hard’.
@@JPF_311 it would be interesting to hear a young person's response but I'm in my 40's and I think it's great when men do that.
. Trust me on this! A classy real woman would look you in the eye while saying, Thank you for being a gentleman by standing for me!" I always compliment men AND women and/or children when they exhibit proper manners!! 🌺🥰
The only talented Kardashian
Ummm OJ only hung around successful, talented people, and Mr. Kardashian was a friend of OJ for over 25 years or at least until the end of OJ's trial.
Hey I saw Kim lip sync along to a song .thats a talent 😂😂
He's a lawyer he' obviously has some intelligence and some talent
jenna H he was, he's no longer alive.
I one saw Khloe give Kourtney a bikini waxing on TV.
That is a rare talent. Not a lot of folks can wax their own sis.
The one Kardashian that you would like to keep up with !!
Edit: thanks for all the likes...never expected a casual comment to be so popular :)
Exactly
Bozo Jimmy facts
I'm sure he's so proud of his family
I’m the 420th like 😊
The only one! He seemed like a great guy.
I'm watching this in 2024, after O.J.'s death. Anyone else?
Same
No shit, obviously people are watching videos
Me too
Me 3
lol yep
His face when the verdict was read says it all.
I know that alone broke my heart 💜
And when the DNA results came in
It was a not guilty verdict
And that says nothing. ?? Gtfoh
Exactly 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
He not only looked shocked but also disappointed. Which sounds insane I know but…that look was more than shock.
Too bad his daughters didn't inherite this man's integrity and honesty
What would you know about this man based on a televised 15-minute interview? Not much. Don't make assumptions...
@@elliebellie7816 🤣
They work hard at
all their endeavors.
I don't recall any of
them being dishonest.
They do not lose
their morals bcuz they
have some surgeries.
Daft comment.
Or looks. They didnt seem to inherit any of his genes.
Da wife sold Kim's sex tape that's why they are who they are
I never realized how much Kourtney looks like her dad! Straight up!
MissLit X you’re right. Maybe because kourtney is the only one who hasn’t totally altered her natural face? (maybe a bit) but the other two have had that much plastic surgery they don’t even look like themselves from a few years back!
Rob looks sooooo much like him!
@@mrs4836 I can see that!
Rob 💯
JessikaEmerald their fathers as in more than one?
You can tell Rob is a decent person who was manipulated by someone he thought was a friend.
Ben Exactly. Robert considered OJ a best friend, somebody he had been close to for 20+ years. People seem to think that Robert was trash, that he was trying to get a murderer acquitted for payment or fame...bullshit. At the start he did fight diligently for his friend, but once OJ's guilt became obvious it became a nightmare for Robert. People seem to always forget that he knew Nicole and cared for her almost as much as he did for OJ. His distressed reaction to the verdict showed how badly he didn't want to be standing there.
so sad...but man guys are great friends and horrible to women
You guys are CRAZY 😂😂 he was on camera walking away w a bag of OJ’s 😂😂 then said there was nothing in it!? 🥴🥴🥴
Ben Oj was innocent it’s a shame he was taken away from his children they just lost their mother. He should’ve been grieving with his children.
@@daffyduckfan4478 Exactly. People calling O guilty but they wasn't there at the alleged murder happen. You got to remember this happen two years after the LA Riots. So this was just another attack on a black man for nothing
Rob’s face at the not guilty verdict is a face of pure disbelief
and pain because he helped get OJ acquitted and he believed OJ did kill Ron and Nicole.
Keep Speaking The Truth!!!
Robert knew in his heart that OJ killed two people. Kris knew it to. Robert and Kris were very divided over that trial. Nicole told Kris that OJ might unalive her some day . Kris openly spoke about it. We saw the bruises on Nicole's face from OJs beatings way before she died. (( OJ promised Robert a million dollars .😂😂😂. )) Of course Robert never saw a dime . OJ made a fool of Robert . AND OJ did have s#x with Kris , I heard OJ literally brag about his one night fling with Kris and that he hurt her , she had to go to the hospital. Very shortly after that both couples divorced. I saw a video of OJ in a vehicle bragging to a friend about the s#x scandal. OJs friend was in the back seat recording everything.
@@AprilW-ls6bd Keep Speaking The Truth
@@AprilW-ls6bd William wasz
Kardashian has no delay, hesitation or attempt to rationalize in his responses. Completely direct and honorable in seeking the truth.
Only for questions that doesn’t throw his clients under the bus. Any question where she asks about his guilt he never says yes or no, you infer an answer from his hint
And yet he helped a murderer get free.
Seeking the truth as he helped hide the truth. Yeah ok 😂😂😂
David Schwimmer did a great job playing Robert Kardashian.
He still looks like Ross, ehhehhee
disagree
@@elchessboy0wnzuagain shut up
No doubt
He is terrible in this. David was only good as Ross and that role was created just for him.
Kris left this man for Bruce..😳
fab4fan5 No. Kris didn't get with Bruce until after he died.
fab4fan5 she actually cheated on him w another man that's what ended this marriage, Bruce was an after thought after she was divorced
exactly what I was thinking.. let the fact sink in
@@cityvibegirl No, that's wrong
And Bruce left Kris for Caitlyn.
The one decent man in this whole entire mess. RIP, Mr. Kardashian.
Decent??? 😂😂😂😂
Covered for a double murderer. Karma got him back.
Decent? He represented him.
@theworldisavampire3346: Yeah defended him until he came to the realization that OJ was guilty. He was stuck at that point - but never had anything to do with him again.
@@lilybond6485I'm pretty sure he always knew
@@theworldisavampire3346he believed he was innocent then I think realized he wasn’t
Robert Kardashian is straight forward, intelligent,
thoughtful, dignified and credible. The difference between him and his ex-wife and daughters is astounding.
Isnt it unbelievable? I cant get over it. Day and night. Guy was so likable
Fyi, I just read how rk didn't leave one dime to his daughters or son in his will...left it to his new wife...they fought it in court and lost!
@@juliewerner4024 can you blame him?I bet they were a pain in the ass to raise
@BruteStrength99 I don't blame him at all! He's probably looking down shamed to call them his spawn!
@@juliewerner4024 whoa!! That is indeed interesting
Had he (Mr. Kardashian) lived, I bet his kids would of been different people today. He kept them all humble. May he RIP
i also feel that bruce also helped to keep them down to earth
Would *have. Pet peeve.
I think Kim going back to school has a lot to do with her father
@@user-ws5li8dz9h I'm sure. Look where they all ended under his reign.
You’re definitely right
Interesting how he says Mr Simpson when he’s referring to OJ , their friendship was definitely over
Superman Yeah, I thought about that too
I also noted when OJ spoke at the trial he said "my Nicole". I might be reading into it too much but having ownership over someone, that wording, just struck me.
Amanda England wow i never picked up on that💀 great inspection
Amanda England You make a great point. Never gave much thought to that statement until reading your post.
Absolutely. If he lived he would have eventually spoken about against oj. he would have been cool to watch on the Kardashians. He wouldn't take any nonsense from Kris. It would have been an interesting dynamic.
Wow the look on his face when the verdict was spoken is quite telling. The way he looked at OJ spoke his truthful thoughts in silence.
Looks like he was going to throw up and the color drained from his face.
I think it speaks volumes that after being so heavily involved in toxic energy he swiftly died of cancer. Bad people, bad energy, spreads to everyone around them & takes a toll physically, spiritually & everything in between. What a great human being
He was lawyer that’s a dirty job you get paid to lie lol
Toxic clearly a uneducated feminist
@@funsizedazzy6708 but he didnt even got payed that much
@@Urgh_I_have_to_go that’s his job I don’t say he got paid a lot he gets paid to lie that’s what lawyers do
It hit me especially hard watching this that he died of esophageal cancer. He couldn't swallow it. Couldn't swallow Oj's story or his own doubts. The body mind and spirit work in mysterious ways. All connected, All one.
There is something very regal about him. He has warm kind eyes and has such noble mannerisms. Very handsome too.
Dee Nice totally agree.
Dee Nice totally agree with you on that...kind eyes that saw alot of pain as the truth unfolded . It was clearly devastating to him
Dee Nice totally agree !
Agreeeeee
Carmell Bella can totally see how Kris would fall for him; he comes across as smooth, patient and good natured
I’m watching this in 2019.. somebody else?
Francys Britania Reyes meeeee
Yep
2020 here
Me, three! 😽👍

You can tell he regretted everything that happened and obviously struggled to come to terms.
Was not expecting such candid responses to those questions. Fascinating.
Have you ever seen so much regret in a man's eyes?
OS1540 That look on his face during the verdict reading is just heartbreaking, a man who initially was just trying to help his beloved friend turned into a nightmare defending a guilty stranger that he never really knew at all. Robert knew Nicole, just think how badly it must have ate at him knowing that people looked at him as a defender of a man with domestic violence history and a horrifying level of rage. Poor Robert.
James Bayly yep, very difficult position to be in
Kardashian is so normal. He would be shocked to know how bizarre his family turned out.
No not really.
lmfao as if you know this man
I agree
inszest - all victims of mindcontrol
Kardashian is not normal - a dilettantic actor....
Exactly my thots
He seemed to be a man of great integrity Rest in peace.
Ameen 🙏
... except when he hid evidence.
He was a “hanger on” to OJ like a lot of people
The sadest thing was when he said that oj never thanked him for what he did and that robert thinks he wouldnt do the same for him :(
Poor man. I feel like he was just a guy trying to be loyal to his friend. It broke my heart when he said O.J wouldn't do the same for him.
Stephanie Catarina yup you stay loyal to God, not man
O.j is the devil in person
O.J definitely would have not. He is a self centred egotistical maniac and he only gives a fuck about himself
If you think someone you have known for years did something that heinous walk away. He knew Nicole and her motherless children. He owed them more than he did to that cretin O.J., plus there was another innocent victim, Ron Goldman. That was a very violent murder.
Stephanie Catarina of course he wouldn’t do the same oj slept with his wife
He's the only Kardashian I like.
ukhistorian but I would bang the two Jenner girls
tim millea But they are not Kardashians
H Hachem I mean technically they are since their mother is a Kardashian. They just don't carry the last name.
Justoffurmammy Um, no technically they're not. Kardashian belonged to Robert, not Kris. You can't just "technically" give someone else's name away. However, if we're going by your logic they would be Houghton's, not Kardashians.
Thanks for the correction my bad
Rest easy, Robert and Barbara! Straightforward questions and answers: the ideal interview imo.
Shockingly she didn't insult him like other interviews she has done with people.
Never asked about the garment bag with the bloody clothes and knife in it.
I wasn’t a big fan of “that’s not what I asked you” but I understand what she was trying to get out of her. And then she did get the answer lol😂😂😂
2 rats
great interview
“The blood evidence is the biggest thorn in my side that causes me the greatest problems. I struggle with the blood evidence” The pain and guilt in his face when he says this is extremely sad. ☹️
Some people believe his cancer was caused by the stress of the guilt he carried
This was a setup a clear and simple set up against OJ Simpson
I thought that. The stress gave him cancer. So sad.
Well, he sure was happy when OJ got off. He didn't seem to be struggling with the blood then.
@annem9402: He sure did not look happy when that verdict was read. He actually looked aghast and in disbelief.
What an absolute class act this man was. It’s a shame he’s gone, his son and daughters desperately needed him.
They still do xx
I think they would of been much more humble
What's a shame is he was seduced into having children with their demonic harpy of a mother.
@@HashBandicoot356 demonic harpy??? how ridiculous
@@HashBandicoot356 damn wtf 💀
@@imintheghettoratatata6593 I said what I said.
You can tell he was as honest as he could be.
No. He felt very guilty about what he did.
@@danielbrown7378it killed him.. the knowing, the guilt.
@@goaldigger3862He knew and carried that bag out and got rid of it. He figured no way he’ll get off.
@@danielbrown7378 you think he knew what was in the bag? I think he may have possibly realized afterwards.
Robert Kardashian was probably the only honest man with morals involved in this whole thing. He was a true friend in every sense of the word, even to a detriment to his own personal life and well-being. It’s too bad his children don’t take after him more.
Too bad his children disgraced his legacy.
i think rob shapiro too
The Kardashian kids were obviously products of their money-grabbing attention seeking mother.
@@cindymaun8952 bingo, Kris Jenner is as opposite Robert Kardashian to the farthest degree as you can possibly get
@@PeebzAviation I think that American Crime Story The People vs. OJ Simpson did a great job of representing Rob Shapiro as a self-centered attorney more interested in his own reputation than his client's best interest. He seemed to be the worst of the dream team. Johnnie Cochran at least represented many victims of police brutality.
Robert Kardashian in the beginning was blinded because it was his friend of 20 years. Of course he wanted to believe his best friend, but as time went on- Robert knew O.J. did it. You can see in his eyes that he deeply regrets being on the so-called “Dream Team”. I will never forget Robert’s face when they said “Not Guilty”...
🎯
Joseph Salvoro-Patterson @ How about Attorney Shapiro proclamation to OJ in front of Robert K., that Robert would go down as an accessory. Reference to the Duffel bag taken from OJ, that Robert took and was never turned in.
Do you know why lawyers are called The Devil's Advocate? 😆
Joseph Salvoro-Patterson that face he made I shall never forget.
Joseph Salvoro-Patterson that will be a imbedded in my mind whether OJ Simpson or any of the stormiest are mentioned
He seems so genuine and humble. He was the first famous Kardashian. Wish he was still here.
It’s interesting to know if "keeping up with kardashian" would have existed if he was still alive. I wonder if he would have participated.
@@eddisontollett8845 i don’t think they would probably be famous business ppl but nope now they’re all fashion and so self centered and materialistic 🤣
He's the only decent Kardashian. The rest are Kartrashians
@@eddisontollett8845 I doubt it. I also highly doubt he would have let Kris Jenner pimp out Kim's see tape.
God bless him
This was a fascinating interview. Robert seemed like a honourable good man who was stuck in a bad situation.
One of the worst feelings in life is realizing that someone you’ve loved, supported, and stood by has betrayed you. It’s crushing and makes you question yourself over and over again. That said, I’d still rather be the person who is loyal, loving and caring than the betrayer. I hope that Robert Kardashian found peace and forgiveness within himself before he sadly died.
The worst thing about betrayal is it never comes from an enemy.
@@jena.alexia💯
Actually he's face looked disgusted at the verdict..
Like a disgusted/shocked/horrified mixture.
junky9 Zane He looked shocked, he was in dis-belief.
Didn't he .. It was like he was expecting a "Guilty" verdict ... OJ must didn't know this Kardashian was against him.. I think he was .. I think O.J. n Kris had some rendezvous and Kris killed Nicole n Ron for her fame today
@@crystallocklear8197 that’s actually so ridiculous 😬 one of the defense’s main arguments was that there had to be at least 2 men involved in the murders because they were so brutal but you think kris Jenner went there and murdered them?? Oj was one of the greatest athletes to ever live and people had a hard time believing that even he was physically capable of it. Your theory really doesn’t hold up

I adored Robert Kardashian. I thought his face at the trial said everything. He believed OJ was guilty and astounded by the juries decision. This was an excellent conversation between Robert and an excellent veteran reporter. ❤
Robert Kardashian was such a good man so sad he's gone.
“I don’t like to discuss my financial situation” the apples fall FAR from the tree.
He seems so classy. Too bad he married Kris
The apple surely does😂😂😂
I admire this man
I have heard Kim say the same thing several times
@@nenebi I know right. It reminded me of Kim, she has said this before. The kardashians aren’t tacky about their money because they actually are wealthy unlike some rappers who are flaunting but broke
The look on his face when the verdict was read says it all to me.
He was hoping for justice.... he should have never took that case on, it destroyed him.
Kardashian’s mouth dropped open in complete shock, when they found him not guilty. Even F Lee Bailey looked dumbstruck. I think it’s karma that half the defense team is dead. Johnny Cochran was no idiot. He knew OJ was guilty. They all did. Their little DNA/blood evidence weasel lawyer may have convinced the dumbasses on the jury that all the evidence was tainted, but Kardashian knew it wasn’t. That was the biggest circus I’ve ever watched in my entire life. Nobody on the LAPD was conspiring against Simpson. They didn’t need a conspiracy. They had enough evidence to convict 20 people. It was payback for what happened to Rodney King, plain and simple.
Welshwitch 100%
@@welshwitch2126 I was thinking the same exact thing this was just payback your spot on
@@welshwitch2126 true...and at the expense of 2 lives...such a travesty
Robert was all class, he articulated beautifully.
This interview truly surprised me. I've only ever read about this case, never heard Robert Kardashian speak about it and more importantly express his doubts. No fake dramatic music or editing unlike today's TV.
Wow one of the most powerful interviews I've ever seen. Here's a mans best friend acknowledging his doubts. He put his life on the line for this piece of shit.
D C2184. Lol
Yep, and hot a serial murder off and when HE had cancer and dying, knew he wouldn't get the support back from him. His karma
Robert Kardashian seemed to be a honest man. RIP.
He was a devout Christian. If he was alive his kids would definitely not behave like they do now.
@@note2owns Devout Satanists it seems.
note2owns I find that pretty strange because he was a lawyer. Lawyers rely on facts and evidence and there is no proof of any god.
Actually, he was an attorney but I’m sure you guys know what I mean.
He was just a loyal friend who discovered he was lied to.
This interview was his public confession and apology.
RIP
Watching this with the recent news of Simpson's death. I never watched the trial (still haven't), but very glad I watched this interview. Mr. Kardashian seemed like a very warm, genuine, loyal, and honest gentleman.
Mr. Kardashian was such a a nice looking man and classy too. It's sad that he didn't think OJ would do the same for him. May he RIP (RK).

Rob Jr has the same genuine soul that his father has. That’s really beautiful and so rare in this world
When the verdict was read, Kardashian looked shocked that O.J. was acquitted, he looked like he was hoping he would be found guilty
He was shaken to his core.
Mr. Kardashian was a very interesting man. His kids must miss him a lot
They do. They go to his favorite restaurant around the time of his death every year. They talk about how hard it was to watch when he was dying of cancer
The Kardashian kids adored their father and were very close to him. From what I have read and seen on tv Robert Kardashian was a wonderful father who is still missed by his children.
That's awesome ♡♡♡♡
@@kimma508 Why did Kris preferred Bruce over this intelligent man? 🤷 Caitlyn Jenner is Kris's karma.
@@lizzvilla6468 Kris didn't cheat on Robert with Bruce, she cheated with another man who ended up leaving her and after she was divorced she met Bruce. But she has admitted that her biggest regret was cheating on Robert. I do honestly believe if she could go back in time she would
Stress causes cancer. May this great man rest in peace.
It does indeed
Maybe he smoked or something?
I think he was a smoker too.
Good riddance!!
His disappointments of daughters may not have helped either.
Omg the guilt is so evident in his eyes
It took a lot of courage to do this interview. I admire him for that. May God rest his soul.
After binging on Barbara interviews, Barbara did some awful, and insulting interviews for whatever reason. I thought this would be more of the same.
@@gamesthatiplay9083 She did Dolly Parton dirty. But Dolly sh** on her in a nice way. Love that Dolly.
I think the saddest thing is that It sounds like Robert's life was ruined due to the case because he stood by a friend
Pudding Brain That's the saddest part...all Robert was guilty of was trying to be a good, loyal friend to somebody who didn't deserve to have a friend like Robert. Just heartbreaking.
Oh gosh you are so right!
He has his integrity at such a high cost
he lied and he knew oj did it , the whole world knows oj did it
Exactly

If that's not a reaction of "Man he got away with it", I don't know what is ...
You can feel his goodness & warmth in this interview …& yes his face when the verdict was read says it all …
Watching this 2020 in quarantine. Who's here ?
Me.
I just arrived
🙋🏾♂️
Right here!
🙋🏼♀️
25 years later and I still find this stuff fascinating.
Me too.
Me too, OJ knows he murdered two people, and his wimpy butt said he thought he was going to die when he caught Covid, Nicole, and Ron didn’t think they were going to die 25 years ago.
Me too I was about 3/4 yrs old at when the murder happen and now I look it up so so much
Same. I've never seen this interview, and it was chilling.
It’s fascinating to me because Robert Blake and Casey Anthony doesn’t get nearly the same attention as OJ does and they both were tried for heinous crimes smh.
the look on his face at OJ's acquittal shows Robert Kardashian had a sense of shock ,yet it shows he has a strong sense of decency and integrity. Lawyers are their to defend and represent their client to the best of their ability
I think he probably justified it to himself as "well, I'll do what I can to help. It won't matter in the end, because there's NO WAY a jury is going to find him 'not guilty.' So, in the end OJ still goes to jail and even though I helped him my conscience will still be clean." When that "not guilty" verdict was read it looked like it literally knocked the wind out of him...like "hooooly shit...I just helped a double murderer walk..." 😳
He seems like a nice guy, it’s very sad what Kris did to him!
I think the stress of this entire situation caused his illness...
I think he got it from God for aquitting a murderer.
Lisette John There u go Assuming shit!!! Its funny how when someone says he guilty people run wit it just like the bible everything is not real its 50 Books missing 50 not pages but all these people across the world believe what ever the world says...SMMFH
Charles Jennings ya, there’s no evidence of his guilt right? Are you really that stupid that you can’t use common sense? Fucking mouth breather.
Lisette John love the way ur pic looks
Matt Sanders Riiiiiite!.,.?.! GASP. How ANYONE could defend and \or believes that that monster murderer did not butcher Nicole and Ron, is B E Y O N D😳🤮... Oh geez... just reread “Mr.Charles J” post...yeeeeah.. he be nee-do go back schoo-Len. 1800-grammar🤷♀️
his kids did not inherit any of his intelligence.
Kourtney & Rob did
Right cause u have to be stupid to successfully run many businesses lol do u have one?
Facts
He didn't marry a very intelligent wife. Who do you think took care of the children when he was out there working? His wife definitely corrupted the minds of his kids.
I feel Rob did and that's why he's quiet. He feels out of place. He feels lost among his siblings who took after their mom. He lost his hero
he seems so sensible , intelligent, and so well-spoken. i think he believed his friend in the beginning , and i think he WANTED so badly to believe that his best friend did not murder his wife (and also robs friend) in cold blood. even when the evidence was undeniable , maybe for Rob , at that point he needed to prove he was innocent for himself as well. but deep down he knew , and he knew when the verdict was called. he knew what he had done. and i believe this guilt , shame, and stress slowly ate at him causing his cancer … and ultimately ended his life.
yep
What an amazing interview by Barbara Walters! 08:33 "That is NOT what I asked you!" So good from Barbara!
She was the best interviewer!
The fact he responded at first that there is reasonable doubt tho... like where??? No reasonable doubt whatsoever!
He was an honourable man. He has an honest face.
Yes, he was. He believed in his friend, but being a part of the legal team was a conflict of interest.
The rest of his family? Not so much.
Yeah probably the only one ever in the family
Maurice Rivers then why did he take his bag secretly away when mr. Simpson came home
An honest face! Funny..........what about ted bunny?
He seems very likable and soft spoken, and I also saw his face after the verdict was read, he looked very shocked! And what i liked about what he said is that he thought OJ Simpson was guilty and that if he had to do it again he wouldn't! Rip Mr Kardashian
Robert Kardashian a man with morals and integrity who was put in a lose lose situation. May he r.i.p.
I think he was honest man. Never seen such straight answers from any celebrity without being diplomatic. Well done.
1:20 Crooked. He refused to detail his earnings from the book.
He wasnt honest during the trial. Nobody cares about honesty once the verdict is read
Una Nina Nine Why should he?
Una Nina Nine crooked would equate to a deceptive and/or manipulative response. Refusing to discuss something and especially in the gallant manner Robert Kardashian did here.
He wasn’t a celebrity at the time, only known as a defense lawyer. We knew nothing about the Kardashians. I find it interesting that all of the defense team have died.... I hope he is in peace. His role in the case seems to have really traumatized him
Prior to the depression and all the weight gain - his son looked EXACTLY like him. It's even the mannerisms and small gestures. No wonder Kris likes Rob so much, I bet she sees Robert in him as well.
laracroftvideos the resemblance is uncanny. His little smirk and the twinkle in his eye. His clone.
laracroftvideos yep, the most spoiled boy most likely to be the least successful one (relatively).
I thought the same.
Especially because he's the only boy.
laracroftvideos no kim is the favorite child its so obvious
I appreciate Robert's honesty in the interview. It is refreshing to hear honesty as opposed to those who lied and those who have revenge in their hearts. RIP Robert.
This man has been through alot. I hope he's in peace🕊🙏
His son looks just like him in the face. His cancer was expedited possibly by all the stress and toxic energy. So sad that those girls lost this good man as a father. Things could have ended up very different for them.. He was probably the only one who possessed any shred of ethics.
Don't ever smoke
Yeah. Because their lives are terrible. 🙄. What the fuck are you talking about? They are worth billions upons billions as a brand and are not bad people. Just because they dont speak like you and dont live paycheck to paycheck. Does not make them bad people. Grow up fool
@Gavin James you are rude
Gavin James that’s really rude and disrespectful you should be ashamed of yourself and think before you say horrible terrible things like this
And Kris being a hoe had a lot to do.
Robert is such a well-spoken, intelligent man. Wow.
BUT NO BALLS.
🤡 - no difference in you profile
Was well spoken intelligent man.

Not fair. He was loyal but confused. I also have a friend that I trust for over 27 years and no way would i believe she killed someone and i too would be by her side. But if later on dna says different i would be hurt and confused as well....
He passed away!
Who is here after OJ died?
I appreciate his honesty.
This interview is so sad. He knew Oj did it. But his loyalty to a friend ... but knowing the truth the entire time
He said he had doubts over his innocence, how do you translate that to he knew oj did it?
Danielle Taylor how can you be loyal to a cold blooded murderer?????
No one made him do anything!!!! Stop with that stupid statement!!
@Dhi Mancini yea it was the blood 🩸 evidence as he said that has him in stitches about OJs innocence. Overall you can tell he doesn’t believe he’s innocent and the moment doubt set in he should’ve walked away, that case was wayyyy too sensitive and important to be tryna have a friends back that you didn’t feel was 100% innocent. Explain them cuts on ya finger OJ and ya blood evidence. 33.5 million dollars ain’t no cheap payout. R.I.P to Nicole and Ron Goldman. How can you look your kids in the face and continue to lie to them?’ I’m sure as they got older and began to see things for themselves believe he’s not innocent. I Can’t imagine coming to the conclusion that my dad killed my mom, lied about it and got off 😬😳
Also as his lawyer he could not say anything against his client.
The look on Kardashian's face when the not guilty verdict was read. Wow! He was dumbfounded.
Ryan Sallaway it speaks volumes
He was like, “God have mercy on my soul”.
He was like "How the hell did we win?"
If OJ was an ordinary non-celebrity black man, he'd be convicted and still serving time.
@I'm oj I did it! that would've been a great question...he was a GREAT MAN!!! to win the biggest case in our lifetime...and for him to have that reaction....you know that he is thinking about God and how he will be judge.
I see so much of Rob in him. Facial expressions especially. I also see a lot of Kourtney and the way he is matter of fact.
Robert Kardashians face when the verdict was given, leaves no doubt on what RK thought and his face was a face of disgust
I truly believe the stress and his conscience about this case killed this man. He knew the truth and it seems he was a good man, and this case broke him.
Pedro Lázaro ignorant comment
Yes
I think it was KARMA. He knew OJ was guilty.
Flexible dreamer ... karma for what ! His not the one that murdered Nicole you moron. I swear ppl want karma for the stupidest things! Put the blame where it belongs.
First time I've seen him speak. He looks a decent man.
Damn! He knew OJ was guilty.
Of course he did! Most lawyers know if their client is guilty or not. They pass a bar that is near impossible to pass. They are definitely intelligent people.
Jay Siemens NO! he assumed he was guilty...
His job is to defend his client and let the evidence judge his client in a courtroom regardless of what he knows or believes.
The whole defensive team did. He confessed to them. Also he stopped beong oj friend, and even refused to see him on his death bed.
Kardashian was OJ's best friend for years. Robert admitting his doubts and knowing he will never be as close with him again speaks volumes.
His face is priceless and speaks volumes when he hears the verdict
Robert Kardashian was troubled with this and he was so honest talking about it.
The only one who has gained my respect over the yrs. This man tried his best to live a good moral life and he used critical thinking as when describing the blood evidence. A man who was definitely conflicted. He would be ashamed at his family these days.
timrhicks1234 why would he be ashamed of his whole family? Lol
lol. Cheers for the reply :)
timrhicks1234 No problem. So, can you answer the question please? :)
I'm pretty sure it has to do with wealth and lack of talent. Kardashian Sr took the wealth he inherited and went to school, and then became a lawyer. He chose to work hard and make a legit career. It's the choices we make to give purpose to our lives that define us and make a difference in the world. Or one can just make a sex tape, get a shitty reality show and marry a douche who spends money like water. Wasted life. No drive to improve themselves.
timrhicks1234 That may be your opinion but it's not a very intelligent one. Perhaps you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of the Kardashian Clothing, Beauty or Hair lines, or the 13 different TV shows, their DASH clothing stores in multiple locations, their perfumes or Kim's video game? They've created so many business ventures so if anything, they're 100% successful and real business women.
It takes brains to open your own business so at least don't be ignorant enough to sit there and say they have "no drive" and have done nothing to improve themselves. I'm sure they've done thousand times better than you ever could. Perhaps thats why you're acting bitter and jealous toward them?
If it's really "the choices we make that give us purpose and define us" then isn't that what they've done? No one else has made good or bad choices for them - they've done that themselves. And they have become very successful from these choices, so don't hate.
He's genuinely a lovely man.loved his family very much. so sad he passed away too young
Denise F so sad Kris Jenner treated him so badly
gullible idiot you are
Denise F Yes, Denise I agree as well.
If I ever kill people, may god send me a friend like Mr Kardashian.
Denise F thank god he passed away imagine if he was alive n that ex wife of his selling his daughter cheap prostitution way. He’ll commit suicide. God saved him.
I really miss the 20/20 from Barbara Walters Hugh Downs era, it was cutting edge, top notch journalism, not like the wasted program it has become today.
Anything Barbara Walters gets her hands on, you can always expect it's going to be nothing less than top notch
Mr. Kardashian died only a few years after defending his friend in 2003 of Esophageal cancer.
I believed the feeling of guilt never allowed Mr. kardashian to find peace of mind again and sometimes our emotions play an important part in our health.
How sad must had been for him to realized that OJ, his longtime good friend, was really a cold blooded murderer.
Rip Mr. Kardashian, he seems to be a good man.
Wow, I've never seen this interview with Robert Kardashian. I will never forget Roberts face when OJ got off, he couldn't believe it.
He was shocked they pulled this big cover up, he thought with all this proof they had , he would def. be convicted but, no
Robert doesn't have to tell anyone his opinion of OJ'S guilt or innocence. The look on his face the day the verdict was read says it all.
He was so upset, which I loved! He wanted justice
EdensSecret1 he defended him
EdensSecret1 And he was only put on the defense team so that he could not be investigated by the prosecutors. They would have found a ton of evidence in his involvement.
This is the most honest interview from all the players in the trial. Kardashian, on his deadbed, refused a phone call from O.J. In the end, they all knew OJ was guilty. The only person who was in denial, was OJ.
You couldn’t dispute the blood evidence was tampered with and this blew a huge hole in the case for the prosecution.
Will I can. Where is the absolute, airtight proof, that the evidence was tampered with? It’s a theory.....that’s all. A defense teams desperate attempt to sway the jury. There is no proof of tampering. So...I can dispute your claim 100%. Prove to me it was tampered with.
Will the way DNA is collected can degrade it. Putting it into plastic containers causes it to decompose. That’s what Fungs partner did at Bundy when the crime scene was fresh. This doesn’t change DNA to someone else’s, it just degrades it. She didn’t collect the evidence two weeks later. The blood was sitting on paintwork...right? You do realise that paint, as well as most foods, and cleaning products, contain EDTA. I put it to you that there is no evidence you can point to that absolutely proves anything was planted. You can’t. Even the defense team couldn’t. If they couldn’t, I doubt you can.
Magnet Shakur no...it’s poor practice, not tampering.
Magnet Shakur ok....then if his “Dream Team” really believe the conspiracy theories, why do they all say he is guilty? Wouldn’t they know better than you if he really was set up? What makes you think you know better than they do? Lol. OJ killed two people, and his defense team absolutely knew it.
People that have O.J.'s personality traits never have true friends because people only serve as a means to end for them. Once they have gotten what they have wanted out of them, they are promptly kicked to the curb. It must have been incredibly disappointing for Mr. Kardashian to have finally understand that about O.J.
Still speechless after all these yrs ......
Rob and Kourtney look just like him.
Sky Blylevin and Mason when he was younger.
Sky Blylevin khloe too
Sky Blylevin rob is his twin I'm telling u!
Sky Blylevin Ikr!
I see Rob Jr all over him.
Wow, Robert was a god fearing man of truth. No wonder all of his daughters have daddy and man issues. They lost a loving father.
I think they miss their Daddy
His daughters are definitely not god fearing though..
Robert looks and acts like a boy in wonderment over OJ. Quite obvious.
They always talk about how incredible of a man he was
I think he may have over-admired him and people often take kindness and decency for granted
