Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a film that bears an unusual resemblance to the conspiracy theory she promoted on reality TV. In the late 1970s, Hollywood attempted to turn O.J. Simpson, then a former NFL star from San Francisco, into a movie celebrity. At the time, Simpson was shifting from sports fame to roles as a Hertz commercial spokesperson, sports analyst, and entertainment figure, aided by his close friend Robert Kardashian, a lawyer and businessman.
Now in late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s film projects oddly parallels the bizarre theory Kim Kardashian, Robert Kardashian’s daughter, shared on their family reality show.
On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim expressed disbelief that the 1969 moon landing occurred, according to People. She tries to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the new show “All’s Fair,” to question the historic event as well.
“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, Buzz Aldrin has never stated that the moon landing was faked, as verified by FullFact.org.
This incident highlights how conspiracy theories can echo through generations, blending Hollywood’s past and present reality TV narratives in unexpected ways.
