Khloé Kardashian responds to Savannah Guthrie’s regret over 2012 paternity question
Keeping up with Savannah Guthrie’s apology.
Khloé Kardashian reacted to the “Today” show co-host expressing regret over a “dishy question” she asked the reality star about her paternity in 2012.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, 41, commented on an Instagram post Tuesday highlighting Guthrie’s remorse.
“She’s a doll!” the Hulu personality gushed. “It takes a big person to take accountability and I just love her! ❤️❤️❤️ 👑👑👑👑”
Guthrie’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The journalist opened up about interviewing the “Kardashians” star back in 2012 on Monday’s episode of the NBC morning show.
“I asked Khloé Kardashian, like, 10 seconds before we were going to break about the rumors that her father, [Robert Kardashian], wasn’t her father,” the former attorney recalled.
Guthrie admitted to waiting until the last minute to bring up speculation about O.J. Simpson being Khloé’s dad because of how “embarrassed” she felt.
She praised the Good American co-creator for her “class act” response.
Khloé, at the time, clarified there was “nothing to” the headlines.
In February, Guthrie noted on “Radio Andy” that “producers … really wanted her to ask” the question, so she “did what any naive, green anchor would do.”
Khloé clapped back at online chatter five years after the awkward moment by tweeting that trolls spreading rumors were “f–ked” and “such a–holes.”
Simpson, for his part, addressed the speculation in a 2022 “Full Send” podcast episode.
“The rumor ain’t true,” the ex-NFL player told listeners at the time. “It’s not even anywhere close to being true.”
Simpson was infamously acquitted of the murders of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in 1995, with Robert representing him in court.
Robert was married to Kris Jenner at the time. She gave birth to Khloé, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Rob Kardashian before the lawyer’s passing in 2003.
The talent manager, 69, went on to marry Caitlyn Jenner, welcoming Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner during their time together.
O.J., who served time from 2008 to 2017 for armed robbery, lost his battle to prostate cancer last year.
Khloé did not publicly react to his April 2024 death.
