Kim Kardashian fans divided over her next acting gig in comedy The 5th Wheel after her American Horror Story role was branded a ‘stunt-casting’

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.
