Kim Kardashian left fans gobsmacked after she made her scripted acting debut on American Horror Story yesterday (20 September) – and not in a good way.
The star looked worlds away from her reality persona as she ditched her raven dark hair for a platinum blonde wig and wore huge spiked eyelashes for the show. Kim sent shivers down spines as she held a tarantula in the trailer that was released on Tuesday (19 September) and paired the look with white eyeshadow and bright red lipstick.
American Horror Story is a beloved horror show and each season has a different storyline. Season 12, which has been called American Horror Story: Delicate, is based on Danielle Valentine’s thriller novel, Delicate Condition, which follows a pregnant woman who is convinced that a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure that the birth of her baby doesn’t happen.

However, some other viewers weren’t as impressed with the performance and took to social media claiming that the reality star had “ruined” the show. One person wrote: “Kim sucks at acting. Why is she on this? Ruined it for me.”
A second person penned: “Guys I’m so f***ing confused what is the new plot of AHS? Why is Kim Kardashian here?” And a third wrote: “I feel like I gave the new season of AHS a valiant, open-minded watch but… I can’t. Kim K is an objectively terrible actress.” Another agreed: “Kim Kardashian really ruined AHS for me, now I don’t even wanna watch it.”
