All's not fair for Kim Kardashian.

The reality star had heated words upon learning that her attempt to purchase a Bible her late dad Robert Kardashian Sr. had gifted to his friend O.J. Simpson was thwarted.

Not only was she frustrated with how her offer letter to buy the book for $15,000 was leaked online, but that the executor of O.J.'s estate—who was putting the keepsake up for auction after the athlete's 2024 death—had rejected her proposal.

"I would've negotiated," Kim shared on the Nov. 13 episode of The Kardashians. "I guess I had a little too much faith in humanity for a minute there.”

In fact, the All's Fair actress said she would've shelled out up to $30,000 for the keepsake, which included a handwritten inscription from Robert to O.J. that read in part, "God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again."

"It's just really special," Kim said of the Bible, explaining that her younger sister Khloe Kardashian was interested in having the book back in the family. "I was like, 'Oh, I have to get this for her for her birthday.'"

Ultimately, the bible was auctioned off in March for $80,276 including fees. The identity of the winning bidder was never disclosed.

As for why Kim's offer was rejected? O.J.'s estate executor Malcolm LaVergn said he "had no choice" since he was under contract by the court to sell the Bible in an auction.

"Why would I spend $15,000 of estate money—why would I spend $15,000 in attorney's fees—to sell it to Kim for $15,000?" he told People at the time. "That's a zero-sum game. That's a bad business model."

New episodes of The Kardashians release on Hulu every Thursday.
