commented on Variety’s post Tuesday.“An incredibly talented and professional actress and then there’s Kim Kardashian,” another wrote.“It’s disappointing to see the continued focus on celebrity culture over substantive conversations in the entertainment industry.

There are countless talented actors deserving of recognition beyond the realm of tabloid headlines,” a third critic shared. Now, the outlet’s editor-in-chief is clarifying what happened behind the scenes.

Ramin Setoodeh addressed the backlash in an episode of Meghan McCain’s podcast, Citizen McCain, which was published Friday. He said the “Big Love” star “graciously stepped in” after the original plan for the interview went awry. “I’m gonna give you a little bit of information.

I’m going to break some news: Chloe Sevigny wasn’t supposed to pair with Kim Kardashian,” he said.“Kim Kardashian had someone else that she was supposed to pair with and that actor called in sick on a Friday night, and Kim was supposed to do this on a Sunday.” He said Sevigny was chosen because she shared something in common with Kardashian, since they’ve both been in Ryan Murphy shows.
