Glenn Close Defends Kim Kardashian After Social-Media Attack on ‘All’s Fair’ Co-Star

Glenn Close is reportedly sticking up for Kim Kardashian.

According to The Daily Beast, the eight-time Oscar nominee responded on social media after a fan left a hateful comment about Kardashian. The exchange is the latest example of the reaction swirling around Kardashian’s acting work in Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair, the Hulu legal drama that also stars Close.

Hulu describes All’s Fair as a series about a team of female divorce attorneys who break away from a male-dominated firm to launch their own powerhouse practice. The cast also includes Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor and Sarah Paulson, with Kardashian and Close both serving as executive producers as well as stars. (press.hulu.com)

The Daily Beast’s report follows a wave of commentary around Kardashian’s turn in the project, which has already made her a talking point among viewers and critics alike. The new moment of public support from Close stands out because it shifts the conversation from the show’s reception to a personal defense of her co-star. (thedailybeast.com)

For Kardashian, who has increasingly pursued screen work in addition to her reality-TV empire, the exchange adds another headline to a project already drawing outsized attention. For Close, it’s a simple celebrity show of solidarity — and a reminder that the women of All’s Fair are apparently willing to back one another online as well as on screen. (press.hulu.com)
