Kim Kardashian was seen on the second episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate Tuesday, playing the role of publicist Siobhan Corbyn.
The 42-year-old reality star was previously seen in last week’s episode, introducing her character as the publicity rep for actress Anna Victoria Alcott, played by Emma Roberts.
The episode opened as Alcott and her husband Dex (Matt Czuchry) were seen speaking with investigators, who told her she was mistaken about her idea that an intruder had broken into their apartment. Detectives told her it was likely a reaction to her medication.
Corbyn was at the head of the pack as she welcomed Alcott into a packed office.
She told her that she had received a Gotham Award nomination, and that she was a shoo-in to win an Oscar.

Later, in a one-on-one meeting in Corbyn’s office, Corbyn dressed down Alcott about her behavior amid the award season grind.
‘OK so what happened to you the other night was f***ed – but I need you to get it together,’ Corbyn told Alcott. ‘Do you know how hard my staff has worked for you? How many hours we’ve spent campaigning for this nomination?
‘How many b***jobs were collectively given for you to even be considered? I mean, Derek’s jaw may never recover.’
Corbyn continued to chastise Alcott about her lack of animation in the public eye.
‘So let me know if there’s no joy in this job for you I can help you fill out an application to work at Costco,’ she said to her.
She cited Jamie Lee Curtis’ recent Oscar push as an inspiration to Alcott to push hard for an Oscar.
Corbyn then gave Alcott vials of a substance she referred to as B-12.
Dex asked Anna to take a pregnancy test, and winds up showing as pregnant, as her doctor to avoid stress.
Corbyn purchased Alcott a dress, which she wore to the Gotham Awards. In an allusion to Kim’s wearing of Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the Met Gala last year, she advised Alcott not to rip it.
They were seen dancing in front of a mirror which shattered into pieces.
Corbyn was the focal point during a dinner table scene at the Gotham Awards, as she chided a director who praised Alcott’s looks.
‘The real question is, how do you keep trivializing the work she does by focusing only on her looks? She literally saved your film,’ Corbyn told the director, who replied, ‘And that is why all of Hollywood is utterly terrified of this woman.’
Alcott’s character was seen striking a prying fan in the restroom, causing the fan to strike her head on a sink and fall unconscious.
As she emerged to accept an award, she began seeing the fan at a table and other demonic presences in the crowd, causing her to upchuck a black liquid.
Alcott was then seen being administered a sedative via needle, transitioning to a scene in which she was sleeping in a bed with Corbyn, who was singing Rock-a-bye Baby to her.
Corbyn reassured Alcott, ‘You’re safe, sweetheart; it’s gonna be okay … you were dehydrated and exhausted.’
She continued: ‘The paramedics did tests, and everything looks great. You just really need to rest and drink water.’
Asked about what was happened in the bathroom, Corbyn told Alcott, ‘The paramedics said you must have been hallucinating. It can happen, with all the stress you’re under.’
As Alcott spoke about blowing her Oscar chances with the public meltdown, Corbyn demonstrated her p.r. skills in advising Alcott about how to navigate the situation.
‘The news cycle has a seven-second memory. There’s no such thing as bad press … we are going to pull a “Wilde” card – as in Olivia Wilde,’ Corbyn said.
She continued: ‘Don’t mention what happened – and wait till everyone forgets, slash low-key gaslight the people that do ask and make them think that they’re the problem because, you know, sexism. Look, I’m giving you license to chill – take it. ‘
Alcott was seen staying at a secured residence in the Hamptons amid the trying times with help from Talia (Juliana Canfield) and a bodyguards.
Alcott later went for an ultrasound administered by nurse Ivy, played by Cara Delevingne.
She was later informed that she had suffered a miscarriage; and that there was nobody by the name of nurse Ivy at the facility.
The latest season of the Ryan Murphy is based off the Danielle Valentine novel Delicate Condition, focusing on an actress who might be expecting the spawn of Satan.
