Simpson’s trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian, she and her siblings grew up in a world of immense privilege. They attended the best schools, they ate at the finest restaurants and they wore the latest designer fashions.
They also mingled with some of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, and Kim soon developed an intimate bond with fellow celebutant Paris Hilton, whom she befriended in L.A.’s notorious party scene. Although Paris may have helped to raise Kim Kardashian’s public profile, the Hilton heiress is far from the only A-lister in Kim’s Rolodex. Over the past five years, Kim Kardashian has also been romantically linked with pop star Nick Lachey, rapper The Game, actor Nick Cannon, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and R&B producer Damon Thomas, to whom she was married from 2000 until 2004. However, it has been her relationship with ex-boyfriend Ray J, an R&B artist, that has attracted the most attention.
Kim Kardashian has gained fame by association. The daughter of O.J. Simpson’s trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian, she first made a name for herself as one of Paris Hilton’s premiere party pals. Internet surfers may recognize her as the reluctant leading lady in Kim Kardashian Superstar, her leaked-out, homemade sex tape.
