Kim Kardashian faced backlash on social media after she shared a tweet from the set of "American Horror Story," drawing criticism from supporters of the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

The reality star tweeted, "Hi guys! I'm on set of AHS and we have some time between shots. What are you all up to????" 

However, a comedy writer promptly responded, stating that he had been "striking in support of [his] union." Another commenter mentioned they were "Sitting at home since no work due to strike. Why is AHS still filming? Show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the wga."

A third user chided Kardashian, adding, "Striking with my fellow writers of the WGA. Good thing you're not a singer because you appear to be seriously tone-deaf."

Another user, resorting to stronger language, referred to Kardashian as a "scab" for apparently crossing picket lines, a term used for union members who refuse to strike or return to work prematurely. "Most of us are busy not being scabs who cross picket lines, Kim," the user tweeted.

Kardashian first announced her role in "American Horror Story" in April, sparking criticism from several notable figures, including Patti LuPone and Sharon Stone.

During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," LuPone, a respected Broadway legend, voiced her disapproval, accusing the reality star of "taking a role away from actors." Stone also expressed her opinion on Instagram, emphasizing the hard work and dedication that actors like herself have put into their craft, implying that Kardashian had yet to go through the same process.

In an interview with Variety at the Met Gala, Kardashian addressed the backlash, stating that she was taking acting lessons in preparation for the role. She expressed her enthusiasm for stepping outside her comfort zone, embracing new challenges, and growing as an individual. "I'm so excited for the experience. … I like to challenge myself," she gushed.

During a candid conversation on Hailey Bieber's YouTube series, "Who's In My Bathroom?" Kardashian and the "Rhodes Beauty" founder reminisced about their shared experiences while indulging in ice cream. The duo engaged in a game where they had to answer questions truthfully or take a shot of Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila.

When the topic of joining the mile-high club, which refers to having intimate relations on an airborne plane, came up, Bieber admitted that she had participated in such an encounter. Surprisingly, Kardashian responded with a playful "Samesies."

Bieber then explained that she already assumed Kardashian's answer, prompting Kardashian to inquire, "Why? Why do you not need to ask me that." Bieber pointed out the apparent reason: "You own a plane."

On Bieber's show, she curiously inquired About Kardashian's preferences regarding relationships, "angry" or "make-up" sex. "Isn't make-up sex the best? Because you've missed each other and there's passion, and you know you're making up!" Bieber suggested. Kardashian seemed to agree, acknowledging the appeal of such passionate moments.

In an unexpected turn, the SKIMS founder confessed that she has feelings for a celebrity but opted to keep his identity under wraps. She expressed a desire to make this connection a reality, jokingly saying, "I almost feel like I should have a drink because I want to make it happen."

However, when Bieber encouraged her to unveil the mystery man, Kardashian firmly declined, stating, "Lately, I prefer privacy." Despite Bieber's curiosity about the identity of Kardashian's new love interest, she expressed her happiness for her friend and respected her decision to maintain privacy.
