Kim Kardashian was the one who anonymously paid $80,000 to buy back the Bible her late father gave to friend and client O.J. Simpson after the slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

The “Kardashians” star, 45, said in a confessional on Thursday’s episode of the Hulu reality series that she “used an alias to bid on the Bible.” It was purchased for $80,276 on March 29, though $65,800 would have sufficed as a winning bid.

“This is really special to me, ’cause this used to be my daddy’s,” the Skims founder says while unwrapping the Bible beside daughter Chicago, 7. “So if anyone was wondering … who won that O.J. Simpson auction, you best believe it was me. … I thought it was a Bible that my dad bought O.J. It’s actually my dad’s Bible with his name inscribed on it. I didn’t know that.”

In the confessional, Kardashian clarifies she initially reached out directly to Simpson’s estate to “offer to buy it without having to go through the auction.” But she was put off when the correspondences were ultimately published on TMZ, seemingly to “drive up more sales for the auction.”

She explains to her daughter that the defense attorney, who died in 2003, “gave this book to his best friend to give him some motivation from Jesus,” and there’s even a note to Simpson, dated June 18, 1994. That was months before the former NFL star was tried for the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman, for which he was ultimately acquitted.

Still sitting with Chicago, Kardashian — who gave the Bible to younger sister Khloé — explains that Simpson “went to jail. It’s a long story, I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
