Patti LuPone trashes Kim Kardashian ‘American Horror Story’ casting
She’s horrified by this celeb’s small-screen appearance.
Broadway legend Patti LuPone, 74, has hit out at Kim Kardashian’s casting in the upcoming season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story,” saying the reality TV titan is taking an acting job away from a legitimate performer.
LuPone — who appeared in the 3rd and 11th seasons of the hit horror franchise — made the claim during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday night.
“Do you give a damn that Kim Kardashian is now acting in season 12 of ‘American Horror Story’?” the talk show host asked the three-time Tony winner.
“Yes, I do!” LuPone shot back.
“Why? Because she’s taking away a role from an actor?” Cohen quizzed before LuPone shook her head in agreement.
The stage legend then declared: “Excuse me, Kim. What are you doing with your life? Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington!”
The “Mrs. Worthington” comment is a reference to a Noël Coward song about a momager who puts her very unattractive daughter onstage.
“Whatever she said I double the emotion,” fellow guest John Leguizamo chimed in, causing Cohen and LuPone to break out in laughter.
The Post has reached out to both LuPone and Kardashian for comment.
Kardashian shared a short video earlier this month revealing that she and actress Emma Roberts would be in the upcoming season of “American Horror Story,” which has been titled “Delicate.”
The series will be based on Danielle Valentine’s forthcoming novel “Delicate Condition,” which is described as “a feminist update to ‘Rosemary’s Baby’” and tells the story of a woman who is convinced a sinister mastermind is attempting to sabotage her pregnancy.
“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the ‘AHS’ family,” co-creator Murphy told the Hollywood Reporter after the announcement. “Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture.”
Despite LuPone’s anger, “American Horror Story” isn’t Kardashian’s first acting role.
She previously appeared in the 2008 satirical film “Disaster Movie.” She also landed roles in the 2013 drama “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” and had a cameo in 2018’s star-studded “Ocean’s Eight.”
Meanwhile, Kardashian isn’t the only person LuPone has recently expressed outrage with.
The diva revealed Thursday that she was passed over to appear on Apple TV+’s hit musical show “Schmigadoon!” because a producer told her she was “too old.”
“It’s so sad. And it’s depressing,” she said. “It’s their loss! I don’t know what else to say. I so wanted to be in it!”
