Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a film that shares an odd resemblance to the debunked conspiracy theory she promoted on her reality TV show.
In the late 1970s, Hollywood aimed to turn O.J. Simpson, the San Francisco native and former NFL running back, into a movie star and media personality. He was transitioning into roles such as a Hertz spokesperson, sports analyst, and entertainment figure, with support from his close friend, lawyer, and businessman Robert Kardashian.
Fast forward to late 2025, and one of Simpson’s 1970s movie projects draws a peculiar parallel to the bizarre theory Kim Kardashian, one of Robert Kardashian’s daughters, shared on their family’s reality show.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian expressed disbelief that the 1969 moon landing actually happened, as reported by People magazine.
She tried to persuade her co-star on the new TV series All’s Fair, actress Sarah Paulson, to question the moon landing by claiming 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 said.
However, according to FullFact.org, Buzz Aldrin never made such a claim denying the moon landing.
This story highlights how outdated celebrity roles and disproven conspiracy theories intersect in modern pop culture, fueled by legacy family ties and reality TV platforms.
