Kim Kardashian has sparked speculation among fans that she may be angling for her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Kardashians star, 43, recently faced a wave of criticism following her interview on Variety’s Actors on Actors series.
As reported by The U.S. Sun, Kardashian’s request for a star was turned down by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which cited her primary association with reality television as the reason for the denial.

Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash After Her ‘Rodeo Drive Robbing’ Comments Go Viral
In the Variety discussion with actress Chloë Sevigny, the SKIMS mogul shared an anecdote about a conversation with her mother Kris Jenner: “We were like ‘Oh, we can never drive down in a Rolls-Royce in Beverly Hills these days. All the shopping bags out? You’d get robbed,'” Kardashian recounted to Sevigny, 49. Her remarks have since drawn ire from viewers, with some branding her as “vapid to the core” and others expressing their disinterest in her “rich girl problems.”
A significant number of viewers were dismayed to witness reality TV sensation Kardashian, fresh off her starring role on American Horror Story: Delicate, being featured alongside Sevigny. Sevigny, who has starred in acclaimed films like American Psycho and Boys Don’t Cry is a seasoned actress, decorated with numerous awards, including a Golden Globe, a Satellite Award, and an Independent Spirit Award, not to mention her nominations for an Academy Award and three Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Kardashian’s more limited cinematic ventures include the 2008 parody film Disaster Movie, the 2013 romantic drama Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, a voice role in two 2021 PAW Patrol films and her most recent role on American Horror Story: Delicate.
Beneath a clip of Kardashian and Sevigny’s discussion uploaded by Variety to Instagram on June 5th, one user commented: “this is f—g sad. she knows nothing of the craft so why does she get to contribute when there are eligible actors everywhere.” Another added: “I feel bad for chloe this seems so embarrassing and disrespectful Kim isn’t even an actress.” Someone else replied: “People….Enjoy watching the true actor in the room…her skills for this performance are epic……Chloe!”

American Horror Story: Delicate aired from September 20, 2023, to April 24, 2024, unfolding its chilling tale in two riveting segments. The series featured Kardashian as Siobhan Corbyn, a formidable publicist with ancient witchcraft powers and the confidante of Anna Victoria Alcott, portrayed by Emma Roberts.
Kardashian also sparked controversy over the past few weeks after discussing her acting career aspirations on her family’s Hulu reality show, The Kardashians. “You need less Botox for more emotions—and I don’t have it,” the mom of four said. Kardashian continued: “I’m not going to be gaining 500 pounds for a role and losing a million. That’s just not where I need to be.”

While Kardashian noted she is grateful for her role in American Horror Story: Delicate, she is cautious about taking on more demanding roles. Regarding her Botox injections, she continued: “How am I going to cry? How am I going to be scared out of my mind? I cannot move.”
In a confessional scene on her family’s show, Kardashian dished: “I can do a movie a year. I’ve got about 10 years where I still look good, so that’s all I’ve got in me. And then I’ll take some time off.” The SKKN founder also shared that she has considered a “female 007,” or a gender-swapped James Bond-like role. “”I really love the idea of being a female 007. Bond Boys with a female 007? That would be epic,” she noted.
