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

Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” appeared in a movie that shares striking similarities with the conspiracy theory she promoted on their reality TV show. In the late 1970s, O.J. Simpson, a former NFL star from San Francisco, was trying to reinvent himself as an entertainer and pitchman with the support of his friend, lawyer and businessman Robert Kardashian.

Now, in late 2025, one of Simpson’s 1970s film projects oddly mirrors the unfounded theory Kim Kardashian, Robert Kardashian’s daughter, is spreading on family television.

Kim Kardashian’s Doubts on the Moon Landing

On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim expressed disbelief in the 1969 moon landing. She tried to persuade her co-star Sarah Paulson from the TV series All’s Fair to question the event by asserting that Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin admitted he never actually 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 claimed.

However, according to FullFact.org, Aldrin never stated the moon landing was faked.
