Kim Kardashian fans have been stunned to find out the reality TV star is set to feature in a huge TV series this summer.
The SKIMS founder, 42, was announced alongside Emma Roberts as stars of FX and Hulu's American Horror Story series 12.
The announcement was made on Instagram by Ryan Murphy Productions. While fans were confused at why Kim wasn't tagged, the star later shared it to her own page.
The reaction to the news was mixed to say the least, with many saying Kim's inclusion is likely to ruin the long-running series.
One user wrote: "Congrats, new way to ruin this show…" while another said: "Why! Why ruin a good thing Ryan??!! A Kardashian…I hope it’s a small part…"
