Actress Sarah Paulson inadvertently spat a potato chip into Kim Kardashian’s eye while filming a heated scene for the upcoming Hulu series ‘All’s Fair,’ causing extended laughter and production delays that highlighted the cast’s off-screen camaraderie.
The incident occurred during the production of ‘All’s Fair,’ a new legal drama created by Ryan Murphy. In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Paulson recounted the moment when, while delivering intense dialogue directly into Kardashian’s face, a piece of chip flew from her mouth and into her co-star’s eye. This unexpected event interrupted the serious tone of the scene and sparked a chain reaction of amusement among the cast and crew.
Paulson described the scene as requiring her to scream scandalous lines at Kardashian, who plays her nemesis in the series. The physical proximity and intensity of the performance led to the accidental spit-take, with Paulson recalling the precise moment the chip entered Kardashian’s eye. Despite the mishap, both actresses maintained professional composure initially, but the absurdity of the situation quickly overwhelmed them.
Co-stars Glenn Close and Niecy Nash-Betts confirmed that Paulson and Kardashian often struggled to contain their laughter on set. Close noted that the two frequently could not look at each other without bursting into giggles, while Nash-Betts estimated that such episodes would delay filming by at least 30 minutes as the entire cast joined in the merriment. This dynamic contrasted with their on-screen roles as adversarial attorneys.
The familiarity between Paulson and Kardashian extends beyond this project, as Kardashian previously worked with Murphy on ‘American Horror Story: Delicate,’ which helped her transition into the ensemble cast of ‘All’s Fair.’ The show marks Kardashian’s continued foray into acting, where she portrays a high-powered divorce lawyer in a female-led firm, a role that aligns with her public persona and business ventures.
‘All’s Fair’ follows a team of divorce attorneys who leave a male-dominated firm to start their own practice, tackling cases involving guest stars like Judith Light and Brooke Shields. Kardashian emphasized the show’s themes of female empowerment and support, stating that it aims to inspire women facing challenges by showcasing solidarity and resilience among the characters.
The chip-spitting incident exemplifies the lighthearted atmosphere behind the scenes, balancing the drama’s serious subject matter. Paulson expressed enjoyment in playing a villainous role, appreciating the high-stakes environment of the scenes. The cast’s ability to laugh together strengthened their bond, as evidenced by playful interactions at recent premieres where Paulson was seen affectionately tapping Kardashian’s backside. Scheduled to premiere on Hulu on November 4, ‘All’s Fair’ is anticipated to draw audiences with its star-studded cast and Murphy’s signature style. The series not only highlights legal battles but also explores personal relationships and secrets within the firm, offering a blend of courtroom tension and character-driven stories that resonate with contemporary issues.
