Why Kim Kardashian ‘Can’t Watch’ American Horror Story: Delicate

Kim Kardashian made her American Horror Story debut more than six months ago, but the reality star is still having trouble watching the show back.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 22, Kardashian, 43, got her first glimpse of herself as intense celebrity publicist Siobhan Corbyn as Kimmel, 56, played a clip from the anthology series featuring her and Denis O’Hare, who plays a fertility doctor threatened by Siobhan into working with her clients. 

Kardashian admitted after the clip aired, “That’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“It’s so funny, I can’t watch it back,” she said of the hit FX series. “I get so nervous.”

While she said she “can watch my show” — referring to Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Kardashians — AHS: Delicate is a different story. “I get so nervous. It’s such a weird feeling,” she said.

On the topic of her family’s reality series, Kardashian shared that for the “four months” she was filming AHS, she was subject to “really long days” between “doing promo and filming and everything back-to-back-to-back,” and she called her sisters, presumably Khloé and Kourtney, to remind them just how easy reality TV is in comparison.

“I called my sisters and I go, ‘Guys. You — not to say you’d ever want to get into acting — but you are so lucky you can wake up and just, we can sit in bed and film, and you don’t have to get up, hair and makeup, film at your own hours, like there is no schedule,'” she recalled telling them.

The SKIMS founder’s performance in the anthology series — as the overeager publicist to Emma Roberts’ Anna Victoria Alcott — has been praised far and wide, by both critics and her costars.

Zachary Quinto, who made a cameo on the season, told PEOPLE last year that she was “gonna do a wonderful job” on the show.

“She was so lovely and warm,” he said of meeting her on set. “She seemed really in her element, and I was really impressed by her spirit and openness.”

Roberts, Kardashian’s primary scene partner, has also gushed about the reality star’s acting chops.

“She’s amazing, she’s a pro,” Roberts told Extra in January. “She’s one of the most prepared people I’ve ever worked with, and she’s just chill. I love her so much.”

While the 33-year-old actress loved getting to know Kardashian while on set, she admitted that things weren’t always as glamorous as they looked on a day-to-day basis for the pair. Recalling the scene featured in the trailer for AHS: Delicate Part 2, which premiered April 3, Roberts told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show earlier this month that kissing Kardashian was not as “intense” as it looked.

“You know, we do it, you forget about it, and seeing it, it looked so intense. But meanwhile, we were laughing, because we kissed and they said ‘Cut’ and Kim looked at me and started laughing and I was like, ‘What?’ and I just had her [lip] gloss all over my face,” Roberts told Fallon, 49. “And so we had to do major cleanup in between every take.”

She also made sure to shout out Kardashian’s “perfect, glossed lips” before admitting that the gloss truly went “everywhere” while they filmed the scene.
