Kim Kardashian has sparked controversy by claiming the 1969 moon landing never happened.
The 45-year-old media personality tried to convince Allâs Fair co-star Sarah Paulson, 50, that Buzz Aldrin, 95, and Neil Armstrongâs Apollo 11 mission never happened, as seen in the October 30 episode of The Kardashians.
"I'm sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and... the other one," Kim told Paulson.
"Yes, do it," Paulson reacted as Kim demonstrated what she meant with a sample.
Kim added, "This girl says, 'What was the scariest moment?' And [Aldrin] goes, 'There was no scary moment, cause it didnât happen. It could've been scary, but it wasn't, cause it didn't happen.â
Kim argued that the astronautâs age causes him to stumble over comments like that, admitting, âSo I think it didnât happen. "
Paulson told the SKIMS founder that she was going to go on a "massive deep dive" after seeing what Kim had shared her.
Kim admitted in a confessional that she sends the actress "conspiracies all the time."
Back in her trailer, a producer asked Kim to clarify that she doesnât believe astronauts walked on the moon, she noted, âI donât think we did. I think it was fake."
"Iâve seen a few videos [of] Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didnât happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews," Kim claimed.
She listed reasons for her belief in the conspiracy theory, questioning the flag, footprints, and absence of stars. When a producer asked how sheâd respond to critics,
Kim said, âTheyâre gonna say Iâm crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.â
To note, Buzz Aldrin has always maintained that the 1969 Apollo 11 mission was real and has spent decades defending its legacy.
