As for the naysayers? Well, after Andy Cohen asked AHS alum Patty LuPone how she felt about Kim's role during Watch What Happens Live April 25, the Gypsy star voiced her distain. 

"You don't like it, do you?" the talk show host remarked, to which Patty quipped, "No, I don't."

"Excuse me, excuse me, Kim," she continued, "you know, what are you doing with your life?" 

Sharon Stone also weighed in on the casting choice. 

"Well... you know... acting," the Basic Instinct star commented underneath an Instagram post about Patty's disapproval. "It may not be brain surgery but we do treasure our art."

"Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family," he said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter April 10. "Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture."

Ryan also teased Kim's part, sharing that showrunner Halley Feiffer has "written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim."

And he couldn't help but add serious hype, noting, "This season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done."
