Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her "Uncle O.J." starred in a film that oddly connects to the debunked conspiracy theory she recently shared on her reality TV show.
In the late 1970s, Hollywood attempted to turn O.J. Simpson into a movie star. At that time, Simpson, hailing from San Francisco, was transitioning from NFL running back to a popular Hertz commercial actor, 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 strangely echoes the bizarre claim made by Kim Kardashian, Robert Kardashian’s daughter, on their family’s reality show.
On Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian expressed disbelief in the 1969 moon landing, as reported by People. She attempts to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the TV series All’s Fair, to also 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 states.
However, Buzz Aldrin has never claimed the moon landing was faked, according to FullFact.org.
This unusual connection between O.J. Simpson’s acting past and Kim Kardashian’s current conspiracy theory highlights the Kardashian family’s ongoing presence in media controversies and public discourse.
