In the late 1970s, before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” appeared in a movie that oddly echoes the conspiracy theory she later promoted on reality TV. At that time, O.J. Simpson, a San Francisco native and former star NFL running back, was transitioning into a media personality and Hertz spokesperson with support from his friend, lawyer, and businessman Robert Kardashian.
Fast forward to late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s movie roles strangely parallels the bizarre claim Kim Kardashian, daughter of Robert Kardashian, shared on their family reality show.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim expressed disbelief in the 1969 moon landing, as reported by People. She tries to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the new TV series All’s Fair, to doubt the historic event. Kim insists that Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin admitted he never went to the moon.
“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, according to FullFact.org, Buzz Aldrin has never stated that the moon landing was faked.
This comparison highlights how Kardashian family history intertwines with contemporary conspiracy theories, blending past entertainment and present-day media influence.
