Kim Kardashian’s character emerged as a sinister behind-the-scenes plotter on Wednesday’s episode of American Horror Story: Delicate on FX.
The 42-year-old reality star portrays brassy publicist Siobhan Corbyn on season 12 of the anthology horror series that follows indie actress Anna Victoria Alcott [Emma Roberts] while she tries to have a baby via IVF.
Siobhan raised red flags while having dinner with Hamish Moss [Dominic Burgess], the director of Anna’s critically acclaimed breakout film The Auteur, as part of their secret affair.
‘Darling,’ Hamish said to Siobhan at the table while she was looking at her phone.
‘Ew, don’t call me that,’ Siobhan said.
‘Could you put down your phone, if only just for the rest of the meal?,’ Hamish asked.
He then grabbed Siobhan’s phone and said, ‘Thirty seconds, that’s all I ask.’
‘Do you realize there’s hundreds of millions of dollars in deals in your hand right now?,’ Siobhan said.
‘But there is nothing more valuable than human connection,’ Hamish countered.
‘I already came over here for dinner with you. As if we’re like …a couple. And now I have to f***ing listen to you talk? That’s way too much to ask of me, Hamish,’ Siobhan bluntly said.
‘You know something? Just answer my question and I will give it back,’ Hamish said.
‘Are you f***ing kidding me?,’ Siobhan yelled.
‘Tell me the truth,’ Hamish demanded.
‘About what?,’ Siobhan asked.
‘That film script you gave me just over a year ago. The one you told me to put my name on, and direct without any other information whatsoever, including who wrote it, and how you got your hands on it. That film. Which everyone told me, including my own agents, would go absolutely nowhere, especially if I cast Anna Victoria Alcott, who you insisted upon, is now a frontline awards contender and has been nominated for no less than 11 Golden Globes,’ Hamish said.
‘Why are you saying that like it’s a bad thing?,’ Siobhan said.
‘What the f*** is going on, Siobhan? And who the hell are you?,’ Hamish said.
Siobhan answered him only with an icy stare.
Anna later watched the Golden Globes at home after her travel was restricted due to doctor’s orders.
Her awards season rival Babette Eno won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her work in Daddy, Do You Love Me.
‘Um, I can’t believe I’m even up here. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the amazing shoulders I’ve been privileged to stand on. My fellow nominees, thank you for paving the way for me. Anna Victoria Alcott…,’ Babette said during her victory speech as Anna watched and coughed up blood at home.
Anna heard ominous laughing followed by a call from Siobhan.
‘Shouldn’t you be at the Golden Globes with your new f***ing client?,’ Anna said, referencing Siobhan’s other client Babette.
‘Look, I’m disappointed, too. But I’m gonna ask you something. Do you want an Oscar?,’ Siobhan said.
‘You know I do,’ Anna answered.
‘Do you want it as much as a baby?,’ Siobhan asked.
‘Yes,’ Anna replied.
‘Are you willing to do whatever I say to get it?,’ Siobhan said.
‘Yes,’ Anna answered.
‘Good. I’ll call you in the morning,’ Siobhan said as she hung up.
A hand then suddenly covered Anna’s mouth as she screamed and in the next scene her husband Dexter Harding [Matt Czuchry] was gently waking her up.
‘What’s wrong?,’ Anna asked.
Dexter sat next to her on the bed and showed her his phone that had a breaking news story with the headline ‘Golden Globe Winner Babette Eno Decapitated In Car Crash’.
Anna gasped while reading the story and then looked at her phone to see that her publicist and friend Siobhan was calling her as the episode ended.
Her character has been delivering raunchy lines and had a steamy romp with Hamish in previous episodes.
American Horror Story: Delicate will return next week on the FX network as Anna continues on her horrific IVF journey.
Kim currently stars on the Hulu reality show The Kardashians and previously starred in Keeping Up With The Kardashians from 2007 to 2021.
Her other credits include Kim Kardashian, Superstar in 2007 and the 2008 parody film Disaster Movie.
