Glenn Close defends Kim Kardashian’s acting skills amid harsh criticism

Kim Kardashian’s latest television series, All’s Fair, seems to be flooded with critical reviews, yet Glenn Close, her co-star, remains confident in the series.

In an interview, the 78-year-old addressed the critiques and supported the socialite’s performance on the show, which has been especially commented on.

On Saturday, November 15, Close told The Guardian, “I swear to God, I’ve seen all nine episodes and it’s pretty f--king good. It is what it is: it’s juicy and outrageous at times and touching.”

The veteran actress praised Kardashian, 45, for her onscreen skills, real-life dedication and called her “lovely” and “very smart.”

The Back in Action star continued, “[Kardashian is] very, very conscientious with her kids. When we were filming she was going through working towards her law degree, and near the end she would have flashcards. She now has her law degree, and I asked her: ‘Are you going to practice?’ And she said: ‘No, I just want it in my back pocket.’”

For the unversed, All's Fair is an American legal drama television series created by Ryan Murphy, starring Kim Kardashian as the lead character.

Along with Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close acted in its key roles.

The series premiered on November 4, 2025, on Hulu and received negative reviews, the viewers criticised the writing and Kardashian's performance.

However, it was the most-watched scripted Hulu show debut in three years.
