Kim Kardashian Trolled For Believing 1969 Moon Landing Was Faked
After confessing that she doesn't think Buzz
Aldrin, 95, and the late Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 mission actually happened,
the reality star, Kim Kardashian, 45, was called out for her 'controversial
take on history.'
'[It's] hard to believe someone so
famous doubts one of the most documented events in history,' one X user
wrote.
Another scoffed that the claim was
particularly outrageous coming from a highly educated woman that just wrapped a
law office study program after six years in May 2025.
'If you think the moon landing was faked,
you're a f**king idiot,' a third fired.
Others accused her of sounding like her ex-husband, Kanye West, who
has repeatedly and publicly spread unsubstantiated or debunked conspiracy
theories.
Apollo
11, conducted by NASA, was the first spaceflight to land humans on the
Moon.
Although
millions of people gathered around their televisions to watch the event unfold,
people have doubted the moon landing for a variety of reasons.
Kim
Kardashian revealed her thoughts about the 1969 moon landing on the
October 30 episode of The Kardashians while on set with her All's Fair
co-star, Sarah Paulson, 50.
'I'm
sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and ... the other
one,' she told Paulson, who replied: 'Yes, do it.'
'This
girl says, "What was the scariest moment?" And [Aldrin] goes,
"There was no scary moment, cause it didn't happen. It could've been
scary, but it wasn't, cause it didn't happen"' Kim Kardashian said.
The
mother-of-four then alleged that Aldrin's old age makes him blurt out comments
like that, before ultimately ruling: 'So I think it didn't happen.'
Paulson
told the SKIMS mogul that she was gearing up to go on a 'massive deep dive'
after reading what Kardashian - who sends the actress 'conspiracies all the
time' - had sent her.
Later
in the episode, a producer approached Kim's trailer and asked the star to
confirm her belief that the astronauts did not walk on the moon.
'I
don't think we did. I think it was fake,' Kim Kardashian insisted. '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.'
Explaining
how she was convinced of the conspiracy theory, Kardashian added: 'Why does
Buzz Aldrin say it didn't happen?
'There's
no gravity on the moon - why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in
the museum that they wore on the moon [have] a different [foot]print than the
photos. Why are there no stars?'
A
producer then asked the reality TV star how she defends herself from people who
brand her 'crazy.'
Kim
Kardashian acknowledged that people are going to say she's 'crazy no matter
what.'
'But
like, go to TikTok. See for yourself,' she urged viewers.
Aldrin,
now 95, has never denied the authenticity of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. He has
spent decades fiercely defending its legacy - and mocking those who suggest it
was a hoax.
In
2002, he famously punched a moon-landing denier in the face outside a hotel in
Beverly Hills after being called ‘a coward, liar and thief’ and being pressed
to swear on a Bible that he had walked on the moon. He was 72 at the
time.
Police
declined to press charges.
He
has also spoken publicly and often about the challenges of the mission, the
scientific rigor behind it and the emotional toll it took on the astronauts and
others involved.
