Khloé Kardashian has poked fun at the longstanding conspiracy theory over who her real dad is.
Any fans of The Kardashians will no doubt know all about the bizarre rumours surrounding who the youngest Kardashian sister's biological father is.
Now, for anyone who needs a brush-up on their reality TV history, the speculation first arose after Kris Jenner published her memoir, Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian, in November 2011.
In the book, she admitted to having an affair while she was married to the late Robert Kardashian Sr., the father of her four eldest children, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob.

The rumour evolved and saw internet sleuths dead set on the theory that the late O.J. Simpson, a former American football player who died aged 76 last year, had an affair with Kris while she was wed to Robert, with some people going a step further and speculating on whether or not Khloé is Simpson’s child.
In the latest update in the saga, Kim revealed to her family that she was the anonymous buyer who paid over $80,000 last year to obtain a Bible that her dad, Robert, had gifted to O.J.
Taking the conspiracy theory in good jest, the sisters aptly took the opportunity to joke about the decade-spanning speculation surrounding Khloe's true paternity.
"What a**holes just to not just give it to us," Khloe said on Thursday's (20 November) episode of The Kardashians, referring to how Kim's initial proposal of $15,000 to purchase the book from O.J.'s estate privately was rejected.
"It's proven he's our dad."
Kim then joked: "Well, it's questionable between which one, between O.J. and Dad."
The Good American founder then made a hilarious four-word comment, showing just how well she can take a joke.
"Both of my dads," Khloé quipped back with a laugh. "Give it to me!"
Kim ultimately gifted the Bible, which included a handwritten inscription from Robert to O.J., dated June 18, 1994, to her younger sister.
"I don't have many things of my dad's," Khloé said of Robert, who passed away in 2003, in a confessional. "When my dad died, things happened, and we didn't get a lot of his stuff. Just seeing his name and handwriting was very sentimental to me."
While Khloé and the Kar-Jen clan have discussed the rumours on several occasions now, O.J. himself also addressed them back in 2019.
In a video uploaded on Father's Day, he said, "Bob Kardashian was like a brother to me. He was a great guy. He met and married Kris, and they really had a terrific time together when they were together. Unfortunately, that ended.
"But never, and I want to stress never, in any way, shape or form, have I ever had any interest in Kris romantically or sexually. And I never got any indication that she ever had any interest in me. So all of these stories are just bogus. Bad. Tasteless.
"Khloé, like all the girls, I'm very proud of just like I knew Bob would be if he were there. But the simple fact of the matter is she's not mine."
