Kim Kardashian taps own divorces for lawyer role

Kim Kardashian knows a thing or two about divorce law.

The 44-year-old American reality star and billionaire businesswoman has been divorced three times most recently in 2022, when she split from American rapper Kanye West, the 48-year-old father of her four children aged six to 12.

And she channelled the experience of that and her two previous marital breakups into All's Fair, a new legal drama where she will play a hotshot divorce lawyer named Allura Grant.

"I feel very well-versed in family law and divorce law and I was happy to bring my knowledge to the character," Kardashian says with a knowing smile at a recent Los Angeles press conference.

Co-created by American writer-director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, 2011 to present) and debuting on Disney+ on Nov 4, the star-studded series follows a team of female divorce attorneys who ditch a male-dominated Hollywood firm and open their own practice.

Costarring Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor, it is the biggest acting role yet for Kardashian, whose first scripted television appearance was on the 12th season (2023 to 2024) of horror anthology series American Horror Story.
