Kardashian has been connected to controversy since her father represented her infamous godfather, O. J. Simpson, at his murder trial. She gained mediocre social status when she began to pal around with Paris Hilton, but did not achieve independent celebrity status until 2007. Kardashian and then boyfriend, Ray J, made a sex tape that subsequently went viral after being released to the media. She won millions of dollars in a settlement for wrongful publication, and has since made a career as a model and social media diva. She and several other Kardashians have starred in reality television shows depicting certain aspects of their life experiences.
