Kim Kardashian has been fiercely scolded after it was reported she will be playing a villain in the upcoming Bratz movie

KIM KARDASHIAN TAKES ON VILLAIN ROLE IN LIVE-ACTION BRATZ MOVIE, BUT FANS ARE NOT HAVING IT!

In a shocking move that has left fans of the iconic doll line reeling, Kim Kardashian has been cast as the villain in the upcoming live-action Bratz movie. The news has sparked outrage among devoted followers of the franchise, who are urging others to boycott the film and not give their hard-earned cash to fund another high-profile project from the reality TV star.

According to reports, Amazon MGM Studios landed the rights to bring the beloved doll line to life on the big screen after a heated bidding war. The live-action movie, which is expected to be a major draw for fans of all ages, will feature Kim in a starring role as the main antagonist.

But not everyone is thrilled with the casting decision. Social media has been flooded with angry tweets and scathing comments from fans who are fed up with the Kardashian family's influence on popular culture. Many have taken to Reddit to express their outrage, with one user posting: "When are we, as a society, finally going to move past the Kardashians?" The answer, it seems, is not anytime soon.

The backlash against Kim's casting has been intense, with many fans calling for a boycott of the movie and any other projects that feature the reality TV star. One fan wrote: "I refuse to watch anything she is in or buy any product she is associated with." Another agreed, adding: "As someone who grew up with Bratz it pains me to have to give this a miss, but I hate the Kardashians and don't want to give any of them my money."

But why are fans so upset about Kim's involvement in the movie? For many, it's not just about the actress herself, but about the perceived exploitation of the doll line for celebrity clout. One fan posted: "Nobody asked for this. Why is Kim an actress now?" Another added: "Both Bratz and the Kardashians needed to go straight in the trash circa 2010, but here we are continuing to watch the dumpster fire burn bright."

The controversy surrounding Kim's casting has also sparked a debate about her acting credentials. While some have praised her performances in recent projects, such as Ryan Murphy's anthology thriller American Horror Story: Delicate and his upcoming legal drama All's Fair, others have questioned whether she has the talent and range to carry a major film like Bratz.

But what do industry insiders think? According to Glenn Close, who spoke to The Scholarly Note.com about Kim's acting abilities, the reality TV star has "huge potential" as an actress. Close, a legendary actress in her own right, praised Kim's business acumen and executive skills, saying: "Frankly, if she wants to be an actress, that's one road. But she could be. She's a great executive. She's a great businesswoman. She's a very, very involved mother. She's getting her law degree."

Despite the controversy surrounding Kim's casting, the live-action Bratz movie is expected to be a major draw for fans of all ages. With its colorful characters and catchy soundtrack, the film has all the makings of a box office hit. But will it be enough to silence the critics and win over the hearts of disenchanted fans? Only time will tell.

A TIMELINE OF KIM'S ACTING CAREER

Kim's foray into acting began in 2023 with her lead role in Ryan Murphy's anthology thriller American Horror Story: Delicate. Since then, she has appeared as herself in several sitcoms, including 2 Broke Girls and How I Met Your Mother.

In 2024, Kim will reunite with Ryan Murphy for his upcoming legal drama All's Fair, which also stars Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close. Kim will not only star in the series but also serve as an executive producer.

Kim's acting career has certainly ramped up in recent years, but it remains to be seen whether she has what it takes to carry a major film like Bratz. One thing is certain, however: with her growing list of credits and her increasing influence on popular culture, Kim Kardashian is here to stay – for better or worse.
