Kim Kardashian Pushes Moon Landing Hoax Theory On National TV

It seems no conspiracy is too outlandish for Hollywood anymore. During the latest episode of The Kardashians, reality TV star Kim Kardashian claimed the 1969 moon landing was “fake,” citing TikTok videos and misquoted interviews as “proof.”

The 45-year-old mogul made the bizarre claim while filming a scene with actress Sarah Paulson for the upcoming show All’s Fair. In a conversation that quickly spiraled from gossip to pseudoscience, Kardashian insisted that astronaut Buzz Aldrin himself had admitted the landing “didn’t happen.”

“He goes, ‘There was no scary moment, cause it didn’t happen,’” Kardashian said on camera, referring to a decades-old clip she apparently saw online. “So I think it didn’t happen.”

When a producer challenged her off-screen, Kardashian doubled down. “I don’t think we did,” she said. “Go to TikTok. See for yourself.”

This is where American celebrity culture has landed where a multi-millionaire influencer dismisses one of humanity’s greatest achievements because of viral internet clips. Never mind that Buzz Aldrin himself, now 95, has repeatedly and passionately reaffirmed that he and Neil Armstrong did, in fact, walk on the moon on July 20, 1969.

Aldrin even commemorated the 56th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission this year, writing, “A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon… I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA.”

But Kardashian’s comments underscore a deeper issue the dangerous trend of public figures with massive followings spreading misinformation for entertainment value. With more than 360 million Instagram followers and an audience of impressionable young fans, her words carry real weight.

What’s worse, this isn’t a harmless internet theory. It mocks the sacrifices of the more than 400,000 engineers, astronauts, and scientists who made Apollo 11 a reality, and it fuels a culture where facts are less important than clicks.

While Hollywood’s elites play with conspiracy theories for ratings, America faces genuine crises from inflation to border chaos that actually demand serious thought and leadership. Yet here we are, watching the country’s biggest celebrities question whether the greatest American scientific achievement ever even happened.

This is what happens when fame replaces wisdom, and when the loudest voices in pop culture treat truth as optional.
