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

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

Two years before Kim Kardashian's birth, her "Uncle O.J." Simpson starred in a film that oddly parallels the debunked conspiracy theory she recently promoted on reality TV. In the late 1970s, Hollywood aimed to turn O.J. Simpson, once a star NFL running back from San Francisco, into a multifaceted entertainer. With the guidance of his close friend Robert Kardashian, who was also a lawyer and businessman, Simpson pursued roles as a Hertz commercial spokesperson and sports analyst.

By late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s film projects surfaced as a strange reflection of the unfounded theory Kim Kardashian, Robert Kardashian's daughter, shared on their family show. During a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim expressed skepticism about the 1969 moon landing, as reported by People.

Kim tries to persuade her co-star Sarah Paulson, from the series All’s Fair, to question the moon landing. She insists that 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, Buzz Aldrin never denied the moon landing, as confirmed by FullFact.org.
