Kim Kardashian divides opinion after announcing leading role in American Horror Story

Kim Kardashian divides opinion after announcing leading role in American Horror Story

American Horror Story fans have been thrust into debate over cast newcomer Kim Kardashian

American Horror Story fans have been thrust into debate over cast newcomer Kim Kardashian.

Yes, not only is Kim Kardashian a model, reality TV star, trainee lawyer and multiple business owner but you may have forgotten she's also been known to throw her hat into the ring of the world of film and television too - cast your mind back to 2009's Deep in the Valley or more recently, PAW Patrol: The Movie.

However, the SKIMS owner has since branched out from her roles in comedy, it recently being revealed she's set to star in the twelfth season of American Horror Story, much to some of the show's fans, well, horror.

The Kardashian shared a teaser for the upcoming season of American Horror Story onto her Instagram page alongside the side eye and drop of blood emojis - ultimately giving little away.

The teaser reads: "Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are DELICATE."

While any information surrounding Kardashian's role is seemingly being kept under wraps for now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the new season will take inspiration from upcoming novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine.

"Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are delicate," the teaser states.

The novel centres around a woman named Anna Alcott who is 'desperate to have a family'.

The Amazon synopsis of the novel continues: "But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she's gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

"Then her doctor tells her she's had a miscarriage - except Anna's convinced she's still pregnant despite everything the grave-faced men around her claim. She can feel the baby moving inside her, can see the strain it's taking on her weakening body. Vague warnings become direct threats as someone stalks her through the bleak ghost town of the snowy Hamptons.

"As her symptoms and sense of danger grow ever more horrifying, Anna can't help but wonder what exactly she's carrying inside of her…and why no one will listen when she says something is horribly, painfully wrong."

Not everyone is convinced by the casting decision.

Fans of the long-running horror series have had a divided response to the announcement Kardashian will feature as a main character.

Some were thrilled at the news. One wrote: "KIM IN AMERICAN HORROR STORY!? IM WATCHING."

"The iconery I cannot," another said.

A third added: ""Just when you think she's done it all she's back again."

A fourth said: "I'm seated, kimberly."

Some AHS fans are, well, horrified.

However, others were left far from convinced.

"I know y'all remember that she can't act," a user said.

A second wrote: "We didn't ask for this."

"We can't have anything good to ourselves," another echoed.

A fourth added: "Ugh guess I'm skipping this season."

A final resolved: "Well this is the end of ahs."
