Kim Kardashian to appear in ‘American Horror Story’
Kim Kardashian is switching from domestic drama to scripted drama with an appearance on the cult show “American Horror Story.”
The socialite and billionaire businesswoman confirmed her participation in the series with regular Emma Roberts in an eerie video posted to her 352 million Instagram followers on Monday.
The brief video features an off-key rendition of “Rock-a-bye Baby” as well as the whispered line, “Emma and Kim are delicate.”
Variety reported that Kardashian will play a lead role in Season 12 of the show, playing a character created specifically for her.
Kardashian first came to public attention as a member of heiress Paris Hilton’s entourage, but she rose to international prominence following the release of a sex tape.
That was followed by the long-running “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” series and its spin-offs, in which viewers get insights into the lives of the uber-wealthy family.
As well as a now-dissolved high-profile marriage to Kanye West, Kardashian has also built a business empire selling lingerie and beauty products.
She appeared in a handful of films in the late 2000s, and recently voiced a character in “PAW Patrol: The Movie.”
But “American Horror Story” will be her first scripted on-screen venture in a decade.
“American Horror Story” is an anthology piece revolving around different characters and locations.
It is known for its high-profile cast, which changes frequently.
Previous stars have included Lady Gaga, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett.
