Reality TV star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has sparked controversy by insisting that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax.
In a recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the Skims founder shared her conspiracy theory views during a conversation with actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the upcoming Hulu legal drama All’s Fair.
Kardashian cited videos and interviews she’s seen on TikTok as evidence, particularly focusing on astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
“I’m sending you, like, so far, a million articles, interviews, with both Buzz Aldrin and — the other one,” Kardashian told Paulson, referring to Neil Armstrong.

Kardashian elaborated on specific claims often made by those who deny the moon landing took place, such as the American flag appearing to “blow” in the wind (despite no atmosphere on the moon), the astronauts’ footprints remaining intact, and the absence of stars in photographs from the lunar surface.
The reality star says Aldrin’s statements in interviews are admissions that the landing never happened.
“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.’ So he’s gotten old, and he, like, slurs on his thinking,” she said.
“So I think it didn’t happen,” added Kardashian.
The clip she is referring to:
In a confessional segment on the show, Kardashian doubled down: “I don’t think we did [go to the moon]. I think it was fake. 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. Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin.”
She brushed off potential criticism, adding, “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.”
NASA’s Acting Administrator Sean Duffy responded to claims in a post on X, writing, “We’ve been to the moon six times.”
Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!
And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under the leadership of @POTUS.

Duffy added, “We won the last space race and we will win this one too.”
People magazine also published an article titled “Everything Kim Kardashian Just Said About the Moon Landing Is Wrong,” in which the author writes that the flag was supported by an angled rod, not wind; the astronauts’ overshoes were left on the moon to save weight; and the lack of stars in photos resulted from the camera’s fast shutter speed, which couldn’t capture faint starlight against the bright lunar surface.
Aldrin, now 95, famously punched conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel in 2002 after being accused of lying about walking on the moon.
