Fans have been left divided over news that Kim Kardashian is now turning her hand to comedy following her role in American Horror Story: Delicate in September.
The reality star played a sassy publicist named Siobhan Corbyn in the series, yet many fans weren’t impressed with her acting skills and branded her role a ‘stunt-casting,’ meaning it was given to her for marketing purposes rather than based on merit.
One fan wrote: ‘Kim Kardashian isn’t an actress this is stunt casting to get viewers. This just another example of superficial American culture is.’
While another added: ‘F*****g stunt casting. Not sure I’ll watch the new season of AHS.’
Yet the negative comments haven’t stopped the star pursuing new projects, as she is being eyed to star in and produce the comedy film The 5th Wheel, according to Deadline.

Five studios are said to be battling it to land the movie, with a script by Paula Pell and Janine Brito.
The SKIMS founder will produce alongside Pell and has attended every pitch for the movie, according to Deadline.
Speaking about her role in AHS to Variety, Kim said: ‘It’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.’
Yet fans didn’t seem convinced with her performance as they took to Twitter to share their reactions.
One user wrote: ‘I’m not into Kim at all #AHS,’ while another added: ‘Kim sucks at acting. Why is she on this? Ruined it for me.’
A third user wrote: ‘Guys I’m so ducking confused what is the new plot of AHS? Why is Kim Kardashian here?’
A fourth added: ‘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 wrote: ‘Why is Kim Kardashian on AHS LMFAO’.
