O.J. Simpson movie parallels Kim Kardashian’s fake moon landing claim

O.J. Simpson Movie Parallels Kim Kardashian’s Fake Moon Landing Claim

Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a film that oddly resembles the debunked conspiracy theory she shared on her reality TV show. In the late 1970s, Hollywood attempted to turn San Francisco native O.J. Simpson from a famous NFL running back into a multifaceted entertainer and spokesperson with the support of his close friend Robert Kardashian, a lawyer and businessman.

In late 2025, one of Simpson’s movie projects from the 1970s draws a curious parallel to the outlandish theory Kim Kardashian is promoting on their family’s reality series. On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim revealed she doubts the authenticity of the 1969 moon landing, as reported by People magazine.

“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.

She tries to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the TV series “All’s Fair,” to also question the moon landing. However, Buzz Aldrin, one of the Apollo 11 astronauts, never said the moon landing was fake, according to FullFact.org.
