Patti LuPone isn't holding back about her thoughts on Kim Kardashian starring in the upcoming season of American Horror Story with Emma Roberts.
On the latest episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the three-time Tony Award winner, 74, responded to the news of The Kardashians star, 42, joining the FX series during a game of "Do! They! Give a Damn!?"
When asked if she cared about the casting news, LuPone — who previously starred on American Horror Story: Coven and AHS: NYC — emphatically responded, "Yes, I do."
Host Andy Cohen then pressed the actress, saying, "You don't like it, do you?" and she replied, "No, I don't."
LuPone went on to detail why she has an issue with Kardashian's casting, sharing she believed the role should go to an established actor instead.
"Excuse me, excuse me, Kim," she said, addressing the reality star directly. "What are you doing with your life?"
"Don't get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington," she said, seemingly referring to the 1935 Noël Coward song in which the singer discourages a stage mom from allowing her daughter to pursue a stage career.
Actor John Leguizamo, who was sitting beside LuPone on the show, also weighed in on the topic, sharing, "Whatever she said, I double the emotion."
Earlier this month, Kardashian shared a teaser for the 12th season of the FX series on Instagram. The clip featured the message, "Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are delicate," and was set to a broken version of "Rock-a-Bye Baby."
Kardashian captioned the clip, "👀🩸". Roberts posted the same teaser, adding, "This summer…Kim and I are DELICATE #ahs #ahs12 @kimkardashian @ryanmurphyproductions 🕷️ 🤍 #delicate."
FX confirmed the casting to PEOPLE but declined to provide further details about Kardashian's role on the show. However, series co-creator Ryan Murphy has shared his excitement for the reality star joining AHS.
"Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family," Murphy shared in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture," he added. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done."
The 12th season of AHS is based on Danielle Valentine's upcoming novel, Delicate Condition, according to THR. The book is a "gripping thriller that follows a woman convinced a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens ― while the men in her life refuse to believe a word she says," per Amazon.
American Horror Story season 12 will premiere this summer.
