In the late 1970s, long before Kim Kardashian was born, her “Uncle O.J.” Simpson starred in a movie that oddly mirrors a recent conspiracy theory she mentioned on her family’s reality show. At that time, O.J. Simpson, a San Francisco native, was transitioning from an acclaimed NFL career to a broader entertainment presence, becoming a Hertz spokesperson and TV analyst. His career shift was supported by his close friend and business partner, lawyer Robert Kardashian.
Nearly five decades later, a film from Simpson’s acting years resurfaces in public discussion due to its eerie connection with a claim made by Kim Kardashian — one of Robert Kardashian’s well-known daughters — on “The Kardashians.”
During a recent episode of the show, Kim Kardashian expressed her disbelief in the authenticity of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, a historic event widely accepted as genuine. According to People magazine, she engaged in an animated exchange with actor Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the upcoming TV series “All’s Fair.”
“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, fact-checking platform FullFact.org clarifies that Buzz Aldrin has never stated the moon landing was faked. The claim appears to have originated from online misinterpretations of old interviews and viral clips taken out of context.
Ironically, the 1970s O.J. Simpson movie in question shares thematic similarities with conspiracy narratives — particularly those alleging staged government missions. The resurfacing of this old film underscores how speculative fiction can sometimes blur into real-life skepticism generations later.
Author’s Summary: Kim Kardashian’s denial of the Apollo 11 moon landing oddly echoes a 1970s O.J. Simpson film about deception, linking two eras of celebrity-driven controversy.
