- Kim Kardashian will star in the new series, All’s Fair
- The reality TV personality was given the top billing against award-winning actors such as Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson
- Fans went wild for the announcement on social media
Buckle up, reality TV fans – as Kim Kardashian is set to shine once more in a new show.
But rather than her usual bag, the businesswoman, 44, is dipping her toe back into acting.
Fans will remember that Kardashian has tried her hand at the craft several times – most notably in the Ryan Murphy-created series, American Horror Story: Delicate.
While it was the first season Murphy was not the showrunner, it appears he was quite taken with Kardashian’s performance – as he has cast her in his new show, All’s Fair.
Alongside a star-studded cast – including Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash and Teyana Taylor – Kardshian will play Allura Grant in the series, which is based around an all-female law firm.
And although some were excited by her involvement, others couldn’t help but wonder what Kardashian was doing on the show.
‘Best of luck to Kim!’

“He’s putting Kim Kardashian on screen next to women who can actually act??? Best of luck to her,” wrote one person.
Others criticized how the “real actresses” were put to the back of the series’s poster, as “Kimberly was made the star”.
“I know Kim is Kim, but getting top billing over these other Emmy winning and Academy Award nominated women is crazy,” said one. Another added, “Kim at the top of the bill and center what the actual f*** is this world we are living in.”
Others drew on their own experiences and said, “As someone who’s graduated from the arts after covid has hurt the industry so badly and also seeing friends struggle to achieve their dreams, the anger I have to see a woman with no prior experience and only a name get top billing over amazing actresses p***es me off so bad.”
Labelling the decision “a crime”, others branded it “ludicrous”.
“The way these other divas have worked at their craft for decades and won multiple of the industry’s top awards… just for newby to the industry with a skill level that is yet to be proven to be top billed front and center…” they criticized.
And some pondered whether Kardashian had landed the role thanks to her attendance at real-life law school.
“All these legends and then Kim K. What happened to law school Kimberly? Get your a** up and work – ON YOUR LAW DEGREE,” they said.
Another added, “This role is perfect for Kim because she’s been acting like she’s been taking law school seriously for 10 years.”
‘No one does it like Kim Kardashian!’

However, many fans were behind Kardashian – stating they “will be watching” the show, and are “already sold” on the series thanks to her involvement.
After the trailer racked up millions of views in its first day, one fan commented, “Oh Kim Kardashian, the star that you are! Like not even 24hrs more than 32M views all over the world. Your haters are dust.”
Another said, “Ahhh look at @KimKardashian front and center! I’m literally so proud of her! She continues to grow and push the boundaries.”
As others agreed that Kardashian “has definitely gotten better as an actress”, some noted how the announcement coincided with her appearance at the Paris courts.
The mom-of-four testified in the trial for her 2016 robbery, after she was held at gunpoint as a group of men stole upwards of $9 million in jewellery.
“This is why the Kim Kardashian hate is such a joke to me,” wrote another follower. “No one in the history of celebrity is able to go to court in France AND debut a whole TV Show in the United States but The Kim Kardashian.”
Someone else concurred, “THIS trailer dropping the day Kim goes to court is also – diabolically genius.”
