The origins of Kim Kardashian’s upcoming Hulu scripted TV series where she plays a divorce attorney are revealed in the new episode of The Kardashians.
The 43-year-old actress had just returned to Los Angeles from Paris Fashion Week when she meets with American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.
Kim admitted in the driveway that she wasn’t sure why Murphy wanted to meet, and as it turned out, it was to pitch her own TV series.
While the show doesn’t have a title at the moment, it was announced in December, with Kim set to play L.A.’s most successful divorce lawyer.
The early reports claimed that her character would be inspired by her actual divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who represented her during her 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries and during her bitter battle with Kanye West.

Kim was in the driveway of her mother Kris’ home, admitting, ‘Paris was so much fun and now, having dinner with Ryan Murphy and my mom. And I had no idea, I saw it on the schedule today. This is exactly what happened when he asked me to do American Horror Story, so I don’t know, it’s coming out soon, maybe it’s just a cute catch-up and I have no idea.’
Kim goes to meet Kim and Ryan, who says he loves her, ‘cute little purse,’ as she asks him to ask her what’s in it.
‘I actually grabbed it with nothing in it, but typically it would be a piece of gum, a powder puff and a lipstick,’ Kim tells Murphy, who laughs.
Kim continues in confession, ‘This week is the premiere of American Horror Story. I’m definitely nervous because I say really kinda salacious lines and crazy things in this. I just want to… I really want to do a good job.’
Kim mentions the last time they had dinner, as Ryan says, ‘Yeah, last time we had dinner I came over and was like, ‘Let’s do some great reality show about style,’ and you’re like, ‘You know, I kinda wanna act.’
Murphy adds, ‘And it was great and it kind of put the seed in my head and then we wrote that part for you, you know. It’s been a really good experience, although I don’t think Kim was prepared for how long the hours are. It’s hard,’ as Kim adds, ‘It’s no joke.’
Murphy adds, ‘You were really, really good, to the point that they called me and were like, ‘Do you think Kim would want to do her own show?’
Kim immediately looks over to momager Kris and they both nod, as Kim adds in confession, ‘F**k, what did I get myself into? Can I really pull this off? But I think I can.’

Murphy adds, ‘It’s a really good idea. So Kim is the world’s best, most expensive divorce lawyer,’ which impresses both Kris and Kim.
‘I have some experience,’ Kim says with a wink, as Murphy continues, ‘She has her own firm, and the thing about her firm is it’s an all-female firm,’ which clearly impresses Kim, adding, ‘On brand.’
Back in confession, Kim admits, ‘I know I don’t need to add another thing to my schedule, or another TV show, but it’s so different than what I do. It’s such a challenge for me and I just, I love the challenge, so I just wanna see this out.’
Murphy adds, ‘When you’re going through a divorce, I would imagine that you become very close to your lawyer and tell them everything.’
Kim says, ‘I mean there’s even so many fun moments with like Laura (Wasser) and I just like, ‘Don’t ever let me do this again,’ then the next one she would be like, ‘Hi, you reminded me last time, don’t ever let you do this again.’
Murphy asks if Wasser handled all of her divorces, and Kim said ‘Two of them, like enough to know and I was like, ‘On the next one, don’t ever let me do this,’ you know and she’s just like so funny.
Murphy added, ‘It has what Sex and the City has, which is girlfriends. It has a bond of women trying to get through an experience together. The fun of it is, not only am I a lawyer, but I play one on TV, like that’s the best catch-phrase ever,’ referring to her going through law school.
Kris asked if she could shoot it in Los Angeles, and Murphy insisted, ‘It definitely has to shoot in L.A., I mean, we’d have to like build a soundstage outside your back door.’

Kris adds, ‘You’d just have to juggle the two shows. You’ve got this show,’ – literally pointing at the camera – ‘and something new, which you were able to do even when it was in New York.’
Kim insists, ‘Once I finish law school, I am golden,’ as Kris asks, ‘When is that?’ Kim answers, ‘I take the bar (in) 2025.’
‘Well, I think when you put your mind to something, you make it happen, and as long as you guys can figure out how many days a week – if it’s a couple two, three days a week, I think you could possibly do that if you take other things out,’ Kris said.
‘I think if you do Kardashians, your new show, your kids, and the bar, that’s four… and you have SKIMS,’ Kris said.
Ryan added, ‘It’s not like you’re shooting every day, and you can plan your year accordingly,’ while Kris says in confession, ‘As Kim’s mom, I of course worry about her being healty and taking time for herself, but being creative is what fuels her. This is what makes her happy. It’s really clear to me now that this is what she loves more than anything, and being a working mom, it’s really hard. The balance of motherhood, being a mom, it’s a challenge, and it’s a dance, ad Kim has to figure it out.’
Ryan says, ‘I don’t know how you would fit that in with your life, but we’d have to figure it out,’ which Kim agrees with.
The announcement in December revealed Murphy would produce the show under his new overall deal at Disney, with Jon Robin Baitz (Brothers & Sisters) and Joe Baken (Feud).
