Reality Star Turned Actress Worries About Critical Reception of Debut Scripted Role

On November 13, 2025, Kim Kardashian, the SKIMS founder, was feeling the pressure as she wrapped up her first lead role in a scripted project, the legal drama "All's Fair." The show, which also stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, and Teyana Taylor, premiered earlier this month on Hulu.

Kardashian, who previously had a small role in "American Horror Story: Delicate," expressed her concerns about how the series would be received. "It's crazy that this journey is over," she said in her trailer on the final day of filming. "These shows, it is not guaranteed that it's gonna be a hit." She worried that if the show didn't succeed, all the time and effort she had put into it would have been for naught.

Despite the negative reviews the show received, Kardashian and her co-star Glenn Close poked fun at the critics. Kardashian shared screenshots of the reviews on Instagram, joking that the show was the "most critically acclaimed" of the year. Deadline reported that "All's Fair" has delivered Hulu's biggest scripted series premiere in three years, with 3.2 million views globally after three days of streaming.

Kardashian acknowledged that the transition from reality TV to scripted acting brought a different kind of pressure. "I think doing a scripted show is more pressure. There's definitely a judging meter on like, you can act or you are a bad actress," she said in a confessional. This was a new challenge for the seasoned reality TV star, who was used to just "living [her] life the only way [she] know[s] how."
