Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” appeared in a film that curiously echoes the conspiracy theory she recently mentioned on her reality show. In the late 1970s, Hollywood attempted to turn O.J. Simpson into a movie star while he was transitioning from an NFL running back to a media personality, aided by his close friend Robert Kardashian — lawyer, businessman, and father of Kim Kardashian.
Now, in 2025, one of Simpson’s movie projects from that era has resurfaced as an odd parallel to Kim’s latest claim. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, she expressed disbelief in the 1969 moon landing, insisting that it might have been staged.
“I’ve seen a few videos of Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews,” said Kim Kardashian.
During the episode, she even tried to convince actor Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the upcoming series All’s Fair, to question the event. However, according to fact-checkers at FullFact.org, astronaut Buzz Aldrin has never claimed that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked.
Kim Kardashian’s conspiracy about the moon landing mirrors O.J. Simpson’s 1970s film, revealing how old myths can resurface in modern celebrity culture.
