Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” starred in a movie that shares striking similarities with the debunked conspiracy theory she later promoted on her reality TV show. In the late 1970s, Hollywood tried to turn San Francisco native O.J. Simpson from a star NFL running back into a popular entertainment figure, with support from his close friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian.
By late 2025, one of Simpson’s movie projects from that era oddly parallels the bizarre theory Kim Kardashian, one of Robert Kardashian’s famous daughters, is advocating on their family’s reality series.
On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim revealed she does not believe the 1969 moon landing truly happened, as reported by People. She attempts to persuade Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the new TV show “All’s Fair,” to also question the 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, Buzz Aldrin has never stated the moon landing was faked, according to FullFact.org.
Kim’s belief in the moon landing conspiracy echoes the kind of public intrigue surrounding Simpson’s attempts to recast his image decades ago.
This connection highlights how family legacies intersect with public narratives and misinformation in modern media.
Author’s note: The uncanny link between O.J. Simpson’s old film projects and Kim Kardashian’s conspiracy theories reveals how sensational stories can resurface across generations.
