Kim Kardashian And Chloë Sevigny Were Paired For Variety's "Actors On Actors," And People Are Really Upset
Kim Kardashian is featured on Variety's Actors on Actors, and people are unhappy about it.
Variety's Actors on Actors returns for its 20th season of star-studded conversations between Hollywood's biggest names in television.
For 12 consecutive days, a conversation between two actors will air on PBS, and every actor will be featured in the Actors on Actors issue of the magazine.
This year's lineup includes delightful pairings like The Crown actors Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki, who both played Princess Diana in the series.

There's even seasoned talent like Academy Award winners Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country) and Robert Downey Jr. (The Sympathizer).

But, the pairing that has folks confused or upset is Chloë Sevigny and Kim Kardashian. Both recently starred in Ryan Murphy's projects Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans and American Horror Story: Delicate.

Chloë starred in Feud alongside Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald, and Tom Hollander.
Kim starred in AHS alongside Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Cara Delevingne, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
Aside from starring in Ryan Murphy anthologies, Chloë has sustained an acting career from '90s cult classic Kids to her Golden Globe Award-winning performance in the HBO series Big Love.

As for Kim, she's one of the biggest reality TV stars and celebrity moguls, but her acting credits are just a few minor roles (and her cameos aren't that long).
When Variety announced that Kim would be sitting across from Chloë, the internet had a lot of feelings about the pairing. Here's what they're saying:
Why are they letting Kim Kardashian pay her way into whatever she wants? Dead women’s clothes, performances of The Lion King, Actors on Actors—she’s not even an interesting to person to want to marvel at the spectacle, she’s BORING. Bring back shunning people

Kim Kardashian is not an actor. Did she buy herself a spot?

Kim Kardashian + Chloë Sevigny is like pairing Pumpkin from Flavor of love and Princess Diana. What were they thinking https://t.co/pXoRx3owRA

We have space for Joey King and Kim Kardashian but none for Ambika Mod or Ayo Edebiri. Very silly. https://t.co/kSXmIOCjeN

Contrarily, some people are showing Kim support for her latest role and appearance in Actors on Actors.
Since y’all here and mad for no reasons, here is Kim Kardashian delivering a perfect monologue in the latest season of American horror story and I can’t wait for her upcoming projects https://t.co/ANM8V2cRWz pic.twitter.com/WIs365EHVh
