Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a movie that shares surprising similarities with a debunked conspiracy theory she recently promoted on her reality TV show.
In the late 1970s, Hollywood attempted to turn O.J. Simpson into a movie star. At that time, the San Francisco native was transitioning from a standout NFL running back into a popular spokesperson, sports analyst, and entertainment figure. This career shift was supported by his close friend, lawyer and businessman Robert Kardashian.
Now, in late 2025, one of Simpson’s movie projects from the 1970s oddly parallels the far-fetched theory Kim Kardashian, one of Robert Kardashian's daughters, has been spreading on their family’s reality show.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian expressed disbelief that the 1969 moon landing actually occurred, as reported by People magazine. She even tried to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star on the new TV series All’s Fair, to question the historic event.
“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 never stated that the moon landing was faked.
This unusual connection highlights how O.J. Simpson’s past entertainment roles indirectly echo Kim Kardashian’s promotion of a disproven moon landing conspiracy, showing how family legacies can intersect with misinformation.
