Two years before Kim Kardashian was born, her "Uncle O.J." starred in a film that oddly parallels the discredited conspiracy theory she later promoted on reality TV. In the late 1970s, O.J. Simpson, a San Francisco native and former NFL star, tried to shift his career toward entertainment and advertising, with support from his friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian.
Simpson aimed to become a popular pitchman for Hertz and a sports analyst, expanding his presence in show business during that era.
In late 2025, a curious connection emerged between Simpson’s old film and Kim Kardashian’s recent claims about the moon landing. On a 2025 episode of The Kardashians, Kim expressed disbelief in the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, as reported by People.
“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 said while trying to convince actress Sarah Paulson to question the event.
However, according to FullFact.org, Buzz Aldrin has never said the moon landing was faked.
The strange link between O.J. Simpson’s Hollywood past and Kim Kardashian’s debunked moon landing theory highlights the Kardashians’ ongoing influence on popular culture.
