Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her "Uncle O.J." starred in a movie that strangely parallels the debunked conspiracy theory she promoted on her reality TV show. In the late 1970s, Hollywood believed it could turn O.J. Simpson into a movie star. At that time, the San Francisco native was shifting from his career as a star NFL running back to becoming a popular Hertz spokesperson, sports analyst, and general entertainment figure with support from his close friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian.
In late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s movie projects uncannily mirrors the bizarre theory Kim Kardashian, one of Robert Kardashian’s daughters, is advancing on their family’s reality series.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim revealed she does not believe the 1969 moon landing happened, according to People. She tries to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the TV show All’s Fair, to share her skepticism 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 claims.
However, FullFact.org confirms that Aldrin never stated the moon landing was faked.
Kim Kardashian’s skepticism about the moon landing echoes the curious blend of entertainment and controversy linked to the Kardashian family and O.J. Simpson’s past media ventures.
