Overview
- During the Oct. 30 episode, Kardashian told co-star Sarah Paulson she believes astronauts did not walk on the moon and said, “I think it was fake.”
- She pointed to social media clips of Buzz Aldrin, referenced a flag appearing to move, the absence of stars, and mismatched footprints, and urged viewers to “go to TikTok.”
- Multiple outlets report the Aldrin clip traces to a 2015 Oxford Union Q&A whose wording has been taken out of context by conspiracy videos.
- Reports also note Aldrin, now 95, has for decades affirmed the Apollo 11 mission’s authenticity, with Neil Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the lunar surface and Michael Collins remaining in orbit.
- No new evidence challenging the historical record is presented in the episode, and no retraction from Kardashian is reported.
