Kim Kardashian Unveiling the American Horror Story within

Unveiling the American Horror Story Kim Kardashian As the Ultimate Twist

“Then tell the Daniels’ to suck my clit,” was the unexpected line that Kim Kardashian graced us with in her American Horror Story debut. I nearly fell off my seat in both shock and amusement. I mean, we’ve all heard Kim deliver some iconic lines before, like “I’m not buying her a pair of shoes, I bought her a career” or “You’re the least interesting to look at.” But this line, delivered with her signature Calabasas accent and a touch of vocal fry, felt like the punchline to a joke about men attempting to write strong women. And you know what? I totally bought it.

For those of you brave souls who have managed to steer clear of the Kardashian news cycle (kudos to you), let me fill you in. Kim is now starring in the latest chapter of American Horror Story titled “Delicate.” In this season, she plays Siobhan Walsh, a former actress turned publicist, who is as fierce as the cut of her pantsuit. Siobhan is the steady right hand to Anna (played by Emma Roberts), a rising star who may or may not be losing her mind. As Anna struggles to balance her career and her journey into motherhood via IVF (or Ryan Murphy’s twisted version of it), Siobhan is there to hit her with some harsh reality checks.

It’s no surprise that Kim has landed a role in the horror genre. After all, she exudes a certain captivating darkness that makes her a perfect fit for playing an evil character. Whether she manifests as a bitchy PR mogul (Siobhan in the first two episodes) or a menacing force of femininity later in the season, there’s a certain believability to Kim embodying these twisted entities. I mean, imagine her in a period drama wearing regency era wigs like in Bridgerton. It would be entertaining, sure, but also a bit unsettling, like a casting director’s MadLib brought to life.

But horror? That’s just right. Kim, as a public figure, is like a source of terrifying fascination. The Kardashian brand, with its endless drama and cast of characters, is a funhouse mirror that reflects our own lives. Are you more of a career-driven fashionista like Kim or a natural mama like Kourtney? Maybe you’re the funny one like Scott Disick or the person with a heart of gold like Khloé? Their public personas, exaggerated as they may seem, are not just quirks. They’re a way for their audience to find themselves and connect with others.

If Siobhan feels familiar, that’s because she’s basically a carbon copy of Kris Jenner, complete with the giant hoop earrings and oversized fur coats. Kim is immortalizing her momager and, by extension, the Kardashian brand. And Anna, well, she feels like a younger, less confident version of Kim herself. Anna’s struggle to be taken seriously in an industry that only sees her as a hot sidekick on a sexy CW show mirrors Kim’s own battle with being seen as more than just a talentless socialite. Ryan Murphy even confirmed that Siobhan was specifically written for Kim, making this season of AHS practically Kardashian-coded.

Now, let’s talk about some juicy tidbits from the show. Kim/Siobhan comes up with a PR stunt that involves Anna wearing an archival Madonna gown to an award show, which is clearly reminiscent of Kim’s iconic Marilyn Monroe dress at the Met Gala. And picture this: Kim/Siobhan softly cooing “Rock-A-By Baby” to Anna’s pregnant stomach, channeling Kylie Jenner’s infamous “Rise and Shine” moment. Oh, and let’s not forget when Kim/Siobhan tells Anna to suck it up after a home invasion, reminding her that it’s awards season, honey! It’s a callback to a previous scene in Keeping Up with the Kardashians when Kris told Kim to stop wallowing after her breakup with Reggie Bush.

Kim teaming up with Ryan Murphy, the master of meta pop culture narratives, is just so on-brand for the Kardashians. I mean, it’s not like this is Kim’s first foray into acting, but it does feel like a strategic move rather than just a random gig promised over gin martinis by Kris Jenner. And maybe this American Horror Story venture isn’t just about Kim’s acting career. Perhaps it’s about what this era of acting can do for the Kardashian brand.

According to MJ Corey, a Kardashian expert who has analyzed the family for years on her Instagram and TikTok channels, this AHS moment is an experiment and a stepping stone to the future of the Kardashians. She believes that Kim has a vision of becoming a multi-genre icon, and she’s already conquered finance, fashion, criminal justice reform, and activism. Now, Hollywood seems to be the final frontier for the Kardashian empire.

The horror genre lends a certain credibility to the Kardashian narratives that has previously been denied to them. By acting within the realm of fiction, their stories become more palatable to the masses. Kim isn’t really the evil mastermind she portrays on the show; she’s just poking fun at herself and the Kardashian circus. It’s a clever way to keep us invested in their story and prevent us from questioning the power and influence they hold.

And let’s not forget the central themes of family and hard work that run through the Kardashian mythology. They consistently emphasize how “family is everything” and push the importance of hustle. It’s no coincidence that their brand aligns with the foundation of the American Dream. By shifting their storytelling from reality TV to narrative TV, the Kardashians are ensuring that their story becomes an iconic American fable, a part of the larger American story.

So, whether you love them or hate them, you can’t deny the Kardashian influence. They dominate the realms of fashion, body image, and reality TV. Their show has spawned countless memes and catchphrases that have infiltrated our everyday language. And now, they’re expanding their empire into business, social justice, and acting. The Kardashians are blurring the lines between reality and fiction, leaving us questioning where their legacy truly begins and ends.

Now, it’s your turn, dear reader! What are your thoughts on Kim’s debut in American Horror Story? Are you excited to see her venture into the horror genre? Or maybe you have some hilarious meme-worthy reactions to share. Let’s keep the conversation going!
