Kim K fans say she looks ‘contorted’ in AHS debut and point out key similarity

Kim Kardashian has swapped reality TV for a lead acting role in FX ‘s leading anthology series American Horror Story . While initially being met with a slew of negativity from sceptical fans and even Hollywood legend Sharon Stone and Patti LuPone , the SKIMS founder certainly gave them a run for the money after they watched her in action during her debut on the horror series – which aired on FX and Hulu on Wednesday. The Kardashians star was cast as Siobhan Walsh starring alongside Emma Roberts’ heroine Anna Alcott. As the story kicks off fans learn Siobhan is struggling with health issues but nonetheless would do anything to support her protege in her attempts to become pregnant and become a huge star. But as fans get to know Kim’s character more deeply they realize she shares a stark resemblance with someone pretty close to her.
