During the SNL segment Kim joked her father introduced her to the first black person she had ever met, asking the audience to ‘take a stab in the dark’ as to who it was.
Tanya reportedly added to the outlet that it was also upsetting to hear the live audience roar with laughter at the jokes.
Kim also addressed Simpson’s sordid past in her bit, saying having known Simpson ‘it does leave a mark… or several. Or none at all. I still don’t know,’ she joked.
Despite a trial with both circumstantial and physical evidence linking Simpson to the killings, he was acquitted of all charges, though later he was found liable for the deaths in a 1997 civil lawsuit.

Kim’s mother Kris Jenner – who took part in a few skits on SNL – was best friends Nicole Brown Simpson before she died.
In an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that aired in 2019, Kris got emotional talking about her late friend.
Fighting back tears Jenner said ‘I wasn’t going to cry,’ adding: ‘I think I’ve realized that I’ve latched onto the legal side of stuff, rather than deal with the emotional side of myself that just misses my girlfriend.’
Actress Selma Blair played Kris Jenner in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Ryan Murphy’s dramatization of Simpson’s murder trial.

Talking about the situation at the time, Jenner said that her heart ‘still breaks’ when she thinks about the alleged abuse Nicole suffered in the hands of ex-husband Simpson.
‘I saw all the pictures and the police reports, and I heard the tapes of her calling 911, and that was stuff I didn’t know anything about [at the time],’ she told Entertainment Weekly.
‘It’s wild that she kept that from us. So I feel bad. I beat myself up because I feel like I wasn’t paying attention. Like, How did I miss this?’
