"She has nothing to do with this profession." The network criticized the cover of Variety's "Actors on Actors" issue with Kim Kardashian
Variety magazine presented its traditional "Actors on Actors" issue, and featured actress Chloë Sevigny and Kim Kardashian on the cover. However, despite the fact that 43-year-old Kim had already appeared on screen, users considered her appearance in such an issue to be an insult to the acting profession, as well as disrespect towards Chloë Sevigny. 
"Kim K. is not an actress. She doesn't belong on this cover." "What an insult to so many trained, hard-working actors who actually do their jobs. To say it's a shame is an understatement." The fact that you invited Kim K. shows how desperate you are for clicks, and how much contempt and disrespect you have for this profession,” users write in the comments on Instagram*.
Kim Kardashian starred in the 12th season of American Horror Story, where she played alongside Cara Delevingne and Emma Roberts. Before filming, Kim took acting lessons. Kim Kardashian's participation in the series caused a lot of controversy: netizens, as well as some industry representatives, felt that the reality star's acting skills were not enough to star in a drama series. Others, however, appreciated Kim's work and noted that she was doing a good job. 
She also has a lot of film work ahead: for example, she is going to play her lawyer, who helped her officially divorce Kanye West, in a series about her. In addition, Kim is going to produce a series about Elizabeth Taylor and play in it: this news also caused a wave of criticism.
As Western tabloids note, Kim Kardashian became famous after one small role: a sex video of the reality show star with ex-boyfriend Ray Jay appeared online. The network suspected that the leak of the video was set up by Kim's mother Kris Jenner, who received the nickname "momager" from users for the way she promotes her daughters in show business. Later, Ray J, as well as Kanye West, confirmed that the “author” of the idea for the sex tape was Kris Jenner.
