Kim Kardashian is feeling the burn from striking Hollywood writers after a seemingly innocuous tweet raised hackles.
On Friday, Kardashian shared a tweet from the set of “American Horror Story”, in which she’s making her acting debut.
Hi guys!
I’m on set of AHS and we have some time between shots. What are you all up to????— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) June 23, 2023
While some of her fans chimed in to ask about the upcoming season (“It’s gonna be gooooooodddd!!!! And scary!” she tweeted to one fan), her tweet did not go over well with everyone.
That was particularly true of those who realized that Kardashian had crossed a WGA picket line in order to film her scenes in the show, and she was immediately hit with backlash.

Answering her question of what he was doing while she’s on the set, Jesse McLaren — who’s written for the Oscars and the Emmys — was among the strikers to respond, writing, “Striking in support of my union.”
Striking in support of my union.

Kim, if you are going to cross a picket line. You might not want to broadcast it to the world. Your tweet is beyond cringe. If you didn’t get the memo, SAG-AFTA stands in solidarity with the WGA. pic.twitter.com/PCpZQ9rFjR

I’m on strike, serving as a WGA strike captain and lot coordinator at Amazon studios where today we held an Abortion Rights rally. I walked away from my job 53 days ago to fight for fair and equitable wages, and now I picket every day and age at a rapid rate in the sun.
