When Kim was announced to star in AHS: Delicate in early April, her casting was met with some criticism, with stars like Patti LuPone and Sharon Stone voicing their own disapproval.
The “Basic Instinct” actress commented on one post in particular, sharing a clip of Patti expressing her opinion about Kim taking on a big role in the series.
“Well… you know… acting. “It may not be brain surgery, but we value our art,” Sharon had written. “We studied, we suffered, we suffer for it.” Ten thousand hours; it’s one thing.’
When the series premiered, some fans criticized Kim’s performance and others took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I’m not into Kim #AHS at all,” while another social media user wrote: “Kim is bad at acting.” Why is she on it? Ruined it for me.’
However, others applauded the TV personality for her first scripted role on television.

Another added: “FINALLY feels like AHS again!” I really enjoyed this season! And @KimKardashian is shockingly awesome!’
