Kim Kardashian is backing a surprising conspiracy theory.
In Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, the 45-year-old reality star tried to persuade her All’s Fair co-star Sarah Paulson that the 1969 moon landing was “fake.”
“I’m sending you, so far, a million interviews with both Buzz Aldrin and… the other one [Neil Armstrong],” Kardashian told the 50-year-old actress while on the set of the new Ryan Murphy series.

On Hulu’s The Kardashians, the reality star recalled, “This girl says, ‘What was the scariest moment?’ And [Buzz 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,’” Kardashian told the actress.
The SKIMS founder went on to suggest that Aldrin, 95, has “gotten old” and is inadvertently revealing the truth about the moon landing.

“So I think it didn’t happen,” Kardashian admitted.
Paulson responded that she planned to do a “massive deep dive” to research Kardashian’s claims further.
Later, in a confessional from her trailer, Kardashian doubled down on her belief about the moon landing.
“I don’t think we did. I think it was fake,” she told a producer.

“I’ve seen a few videos of Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen,” Kardashian said. “He says it all the time now, in interviews.”
She then suggested that her sister Khloé Kardashian should invite Aldrin onto her podcast, adding, “Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin.”
As Kardashian continued scrolling on her phone, she questioned in a voice-over, “Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t happen? There’s no gravity on the moon — so why is the flag blowing? The shoes they have in the museum are a different print than in the photos. Why are there no stars?”

A producer then asked Kardashian, “What do you have to say to the people who are gonna say you’re crazy for saying that?”
“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what,” the mother of four replied. “But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.”
The Post has reached out to Buzz Aldrin’s representative for comment.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first two people to walk on the moon during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, while third crew member Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the command module.
The comments from Aldrin that Kardashian referenced actually stem from a 2015 interview that was taken out of context — a clip that has since fueled ongoing moon landing conspiracy theories.

During an event at the time, Aldrin was asked about the “scariest moment” of the Apollo 11 mission, to which he replied that a scary moment “didn’t happen.”
In another frequently misinterpreted clip, a young girl asked Aldrin why humans haven’t returned to the moon in so long, and he answered, “Because we didn’t go there anymore” — a comment often taken out of context by conspiracy theorists.

In July, Aldrin celebrated the 56th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing on social media.
“July 20, 1969. ‘Contact light, engine stop.’ The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon,” he wrote on X. “A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close by.”
“An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and teamwork,” the astronaut added.
