Kim Kardashian claps back after actors & AHS fans rip her for role on FX show’s 12th season despite no acting experience
KIM Kardashian has clapped back after both actors and American Horror Story fans ripped her for taking a role on the FX show's 12th season.
The Hulu star was slammed after she made the announcement she was joining the cast by posting the teaser trailer on her Instagram.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum revealed: "We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month."
The reality TV star then disclosed: "But production has already started, and I’m so excited."
Kim divulged that she finds it "fun to step outside" of her comfort zone and to "try something new and grow."
"I’m so excited for the experience," the Skims founder admitted.
When questioned about taking acting lessons to prepare for her part in season 12 of the anthology horror series, Kim replied: "I am, of course. It’s a challenge.
"I like to challenge myself."
The Kardashians star was bashed by a Hollywood icon over her role in season 12 of American Horror Story.
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."
“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.
