I’m sure you’ve all been waiting to hear what Kim Kardashian has been up to. Apparently, she has landed a leading role on a new television series (honestly, I didn’t need to read the review to know I have no interest in watching it), but I did learn something new. Kardashian is a moon landing denier! I shouldn’t be surprised, since she was married to Kanye West, but I’m supposed to keep track of looney conspiracy theories and missed that one.
Fortunately, NASA shut her down this time.
But it’s one thing to purchase a billionaire’s (breathable and stylish, hand to God!) product and another to buy into the skewed version of reality they’re promoting. We can laugh at the conspiracy-minded lunacy Kardashian touted on a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” but the fact that NASA had to publicly and officially refute what she said tells us plenty about the times in which we’re living. NASA does a lot more than plant flags on lunar surfaces. It undertakes vital scientific research that is at risk of being defunded under an administration more devoted to bathroom renovations than functional progress.
But I have something to add to the legend of Kim Kardashian. NASA may have rebuffed her, but guess who wants her to join his “research team”?
Kim Kardashian is welcome to join my research team on 3I/ATLAS
— Avi Loeb
Is anyone surprised? She has negative research qualifications, but she is loaded with empty PR potential, which is all dear Avi wants. Sign her up!
Do you think you would be talking about her if she didn’t claim to be a moon landing denier?
She knows what to say to get attention.
The TV series has been getting historically-awful reviews: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/06/kim-kardashian-alls-fair-show
I guess Loeb does all his research on TikTok too.
Do you think Kardashian gives a shit whether PZ talks about her?
As far as I’m concerned, Kim Kardashian is little more than a mannequin with a heartbeat.
That only evinces your ignorance, John Watts. She’s a lot more.

Kardashian founded KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance in 2017, both of which operated until 2022; the former was valued at over US$1 billion in 2021.[2][3] She founded the shaping underwear and foundation garment company Skims in 2019, which is valued at over US$4 billion as of 2023.[4] Following the closure of her cosmetics and fragrance brands, Kardashian founded her skincare line, SKKN by Kim, in 2022.[5] She has released a variety of products tied to her name, including the 2014 mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, the 2015 photo book Selfish, and the 2015 emoji app Kimoji. Her acting credits include the films Disaster Movie (2008), Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013), two PAW Patrol films (2021 and 2023), and the twelfth season of the anthology horror series American Horror Story (2023–2024).[6]
Time magazine included Kardashian on their list of 2015’s 100 most influential people.[7] She was named among Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women in the world in 2023.[8] With a significant presence online and a large following across numerous social media platforms, she is the seventh-most-followed individual on Instagram and the eleventh-most-followed individual on Twitter.[9][10][11] Both critics and admirers have described Kardashian as exemplifying the notion of being famous for being famous.[12] She became a billionaire in 2021,[13] and is estimated by Forbes to be worth US$1.7 billion as of May 2025. Kardashian has become more politically active by lobbying for prison reform and clemency,[14] and, as of 2019, is under a four-year law apprenticeship supervised by the legal nonprofit Cut50.[15][16]
