The Kardashian sisters are said to be unhappy about how they are being portrayed in "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story."
Huffington Post reported that the show's Feb. 9 episode showed a first real look at the young Kardashian sisters: Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, as well as their brother, Rob. The scene featured the children cheering on their father, Robert Kardashian, after he read Simpson's suicide note.
Based on Jeffery Toobin's book "The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson," showrunner Ryan Murphy has previously admitted that the series is a drama and not a documentary. Writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski may have constructed scenes and conversations that did not happen in real life.
However, according to TMZ, the Kardashian sisters did not agree with the portrayal. The publication's sources revealed that Kim Kardashian-West thought that the scene was "over the top and ridiculous."
Apparently, the Kardashian sisters remember as they watched their dad read O.J.'s letter at the news conference. However, they emphasized that the cheering while watching TV "never happened."
Series creators Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski admitted to Vulture that there were some scenes that were added for the purpose of adding color to the narrative.
"Yes, [Robert Kardashian] did take his kids out to Chin Chin for Father's Day on the Sunday after the Bronco chase," Alexander said.
"That is all true. We know that Robert Kardashian was not a man who sought the limelight. We do know that Shapiro pushed him in front of the TV cameras to read the suicide note that day, which was not something he was comfortable with."
"We assume his four kids are all watching TV," he added. "They're going to see their dad on TV and they're going to be excited, like any kids would be."
Karaszewski noted that he and Alexander did not have "any particular opinion" about Robert Kardashian before they researched about his life. "We discovered he was a good man," he said.
