Two years before Kim Kardashian's birth, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a film that oddly echoes the debunked conspiracy theory she promoted on her reality TV show. In the late 1970s, Hollywood aimed to turn O.J. Simpson into a movie star as he transitioned from NFL legend to a popular Hertz spokesman, sports analyst, and entertainment figure, supported by his close friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian.
Fast forward to late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s movie projects surprisingly parallels the wild theory Kim Kardashian, daughter of Robert Kardashian, is endorsing on their family’s reality series.
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim expressed disbelief in the 1969 moon landing, reported by People magazine. She tries to persuade her co-star Sarah Paulson, from the TV show All’s Fair, to share her doubts by citing supposed statements from Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
“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,” Kardashian claims.
However, Aldrin has never stated the moon landing was faked, as confirmed by FullFact.org.
