More than two decades before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” appeared in a film that strangely echoes the conspiracy theory she later shared on reality television. In the late 1970s, Hollywood aimed to remake O.J. Simpson’s public image from celebrated NFL running back to a multifaceted entertainment figure, aided by his friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian.
Fast forward to late 2025, and one of Simpson’s movie projects from that era draws an odd parallel with the outlandish claim Kim Kardashian, daughter of Robert Kardashian, made on their family’s reality show.
On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim expressed disbelief about the 1969 moon landing, reported by People. She tried to persuade her co-star Sarah Paulson, from the new TV series “All’s Fair,” to question the event by claiming Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin admitted he never landed on 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,” said Kardashian.
However, fact-checking sources like FullFact.org confirm that Aldrin never stated the moon landing was faked.
This connection between Simpson’s 1970s movie and Kardashian’s lunar skepticism highlights how public figures can unexpectedly echo conspiracy theories within popular culture.
