In a gripping episode of “American Horror Story: Delicate” aired on Fox, Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts delivered a riveting performance, culminating in a steamy on-screen kiss. Kim, 43, stars as the sharp-witted publicist Siobhan Corbyn, who is steering the Oscars campaign for the character Anna Victoria Alcott, portrayed by 33-year-old Emma.
During the “Little Gold Man” episode of season 12, Anna, who is heavily pregnant, receives an Oscar nomination but also discovers her husband Dexter ‘Dex’ Harding Jr.’s infidelity. Drama unfolds as Anna collapses on the Oscars red carpet and refuses Siobhan’s suggestion to go to the hospital. Amidst the tension, Anna experiences painful contractions while seated in the audience, and Siobhan encourages her to persevere until her award category is announced.
In a moment of intense emotion, Siobhan reassures Anna of her strength. As Anna wins the Oscar, Siobhan, in a moment of celebration, shares a heartfelt kiss with her. Siobhan’s parting words, “Go get that hardware, baby,” spur Anna to accept her award.
However, the auditorium reveals a twist—only Anna’s mother is present, clapping in the otherwise silent venue. The episode closes dramatically as Anna, clutching her Oscar, leaves a trail on the wet stage, her water having broken.
The episode also intersperses a flashback to 1967, showcasing Mia Farrow during the filming of “Rosemary’s Baby.” After a peculiar incident with her prosthetic pregnant belly, an off-screen assistant—also played by Kim—comes to her aid, citing “women’s intuition.”
Emma Roberts, discussing the filming experience on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” shared how routine kissing and even being slapped by Kim had become during the production. The scene, while intense on screen, was filled with laughter off-screen, with Emma humorously noting the challenge of dealing with the aftermath of Kim’s glossy lipstick.
The casual yet surreal nature of these interactions, as Emma recounted, brought a sense of everyday normalcy to what would otherwise be standout moments, much to the amusement and disbelief of her sister Grace and host Jimmy Fallon.
