Patti Lupone slams Kim Kardashian being cast in 'American Horror Story' season 12: 'What are you doing with your life?'

Broadway star Patti Lupone has criticized Kim Kardashian's casting in the upcoming season of "American Horror Story."

Earlier this month, Kardashian and Emma Roberts were the first actors to be cast in season 12 of the FX anthology show. Lupone has appeared in the show in the past, as well as other Ryan Murphy-produced shows like "Pose."

On Sunday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live," guests Lupone and John Leguizamo played a game where they were asked whether they cared about certain news stories about celebrities.

When the casting came up, Lupone was quick to say that she does give a damn and she does not like the casting. She said that she thinks Kardashian is taking the role away from full-time actors.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Kim. What are you doing with your life? Don't get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington," Lupone added, making a reference to the Noël Coward song.

Leguizamo added: "Whatever she said, I double the emotion."

While the "American Horror Story" role may be Kardashian's biggest acting role to date, the SKIMS founder has made several appearances in TV shows and movies in the past.

Most recently, Kardashian voiced a poodle named Delores in the "Paw Patrol" movie in 2021, and is set to reprise the role in a sequel.

The full cast for "American Horror Story" season 12 has yet to be announced but The Hollywood Reporter said earlier this month that "The Resident" star Matt Czuchry will also appear.

The show's cocreator Ryan Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter that Kardashian's role was written "especially" for her.

"Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the 'AHS' family," Murphy said. "Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish, and ultimately terrifying role, especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done."

Kim Kardashian Crosses Picket Line Into American Horror Story: WGA Strike

Kim, there’s people that are striking. Kim Kardashian reportedly crossed the Writers Guild of America picket line to film the upcoming season of American Horror Story. “Sad to report that Kim Kardashian crossed our midtown picket line today,” WGA strike captain Warren Leight tweeted on May 31. “Ushered past us into a freight elevator in her chauffeured Escalade. Writers aren’t keeping up, but Kim Krossed Our Line.” He later added that, though working actors are required to act through June 30, which means she is not scabbing (or, in her case, skabbing), Kardashian had leverage that she did not use. “We set up a line, she was driven past it into a waiting freight elevator,” Leight told the Daily Beast. “Building security guard put on a bulletproof vest, which seemed over the top.”

AHS creator Ryan Murphy has shown his support for the striking writers by contributing to a $1.7 million relief fund. The upcoming 12th season of AHS, which itself has been to the bargaining table when fans unionized, is subtitled Delicate and will be based on Danielle Valentine’s novel of the same name. The show has been filming in New York since April, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The WGA previously shut down production on the season on May 3, according to WGA member Kaitlin Fontana. Vulture reached out to Kardashian and FX for comment. If the reality star’s a SAG member, maybe she’ll be seen striking a pose on the front lines for its potential strike?
