Early this month it was reported that Kim will appear on the show in what creator Ryan Murphy touted as "a fun, stylish, and ultimately terrifying role."
Prolific actress Patti LuPone appeared on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to discuss the role.
Andy, 54, played a game of Do They Give a Damn with Patti, 74, and John Leguizamo, asking the musical theater star: “Do you give a damn that Kim Kardashian is now acting in season 12 of American Horror Story?”
She gritted her teeth as she emphatically replied: "Yes I do."
He then asked, "You don't like it, do you?" to which she responded: "No, I don't."
Patti then went on to blast the Skkn mogul, saying: "Excuse me, Kim. What are you doing with your life? Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington."
Mrs. Worthington refers to a song called (Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage) Mrs. Worthington by Noel Coward.
She is also a character in Paperboy who is glamorous but lives a sad life.
This isn't the first backlash over Kim's role.
CUT THE CAMERAS
Although no details have been announced about who Kim will play, fans were furious over the announcement.
On April 10, Ryan and American Horror Story leading lady Emma Roberts took to Instagram to share a spooky promo video ahead of the show's return.
In the clip, creepy music played as the names of the cast popped up on the screen.
After seeing Kim's name, fans flocked to the comments to slam the casting decision.
"Hang it up man. I'm begging you," one person slammed.
"Congrats, new way to ruin this show…" a second agreed.
"Uhhh… yikes," a third complained, while a fourth ripped: "Why! Why ruin a good thing Ryan??!! A Kardashian…I hope it’s a small part…"
"KIM KARDASHIAN?????" a fifth exclaimed.
"Please tell me Kim is the first dead," a final critic hoped.
DEFENDING HIS DECISION
Ryan stood in support of the decision to add the mom-of-four to the cast.
He told : “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.
“Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
Ryan was reportedly taken with Kim and her acting chops after seeing her on Saturday Night Live in October 2021.
The pair are said to have met up to chat about creating a unique role for her on AHS.
The upcoming season is titled Delicate and is reportedly based on the novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine.
