In her opening monologue, Kardashian West, 40, joked that her late father Robert Kardashian Sr. — who served as one of the defense attorneys in Simpson’s trial for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole, 35, and her friend Ron Goldman, 25 — was the reason that she met her “first Black person”, reports people.com.

“Wanna take a stab in the dark at who it was?” Kardashian West quipped at the time. “It’s sort of weird to remember the first Black person you met, but O.J. does leave a mark. Or several. Or none at all. I still don’t know.”

Tanya told people that Kardashian West’s joke, which was made in October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, was “beyond inappropriate and insensitive.”

“If she and her family loved Nicole so much as they claimed, this was done in very poor taste. I think the taste of writers at SNL was beyond inappropriate and insensitive as was the reaction in the audience,” says Tanya.

“Regarding Kim, I believe everyone has a choice to control what they speak on,” she continues.

“She easily could have said, ‘This is inappropriate and disrespectful to everyone! Not only for Nicole and Ron, but for all victims of domestic violence who were murdered by their significant others,” she said.

Nicole and Goldman were fatally stabbed on June 12, 1994. Though Simpson was acquitted of the double murders in October 1995, the former NFL star was deemed liable for the deaths in 1997 in a civil case brought by the two victims’ families.

Kim, on her Saturday Night Live hosting debut, also roasted rapper husband Kanye West for his failed Presidential campaign and further roasted her family. West took a stab at politics during the 2020 US Presidential elections and managed to secure over 60,000 votes in the 12 states he had ballot access in.
