horrified by this celeb’s small-screen appearance.Broadway legend Patti LuPone has hit out at Kim Kardashian’s casting in the upcoming season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story,” saying the reality TV titan is taking an acting job away from a legitimate performer.

LuPone — who appeared in the third season of the hit horror franchise — made the claim during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday night. “Do you give a damn that Kim Kardashian is now acting in season 12 of ‘American Horror Story?'” the talk show host asked the three-time Tony winner. “Yes, I do!” LuPone shot back. “Why?

Because she’s taking away a role from an actor?” Cohen quizzed before LuPone shook her head in agreement. The stage legend then declared: “Excuse me, Kim.

What are you doing with your life? Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington!”The “Mrs. Worthington” comment is a reference to a Noël Coward song about a momager who puts her very unattractive daughter onstage. “Whatever she said I double the emotion,” fellow guest John Leguizamo chimed in, causing Cohen and LuPone to break out in laughter.
