I LOVED meeting him. What a sweet, classy gentleman he is. Thank you, Kim, for bringing him by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKim and Lewis have become increasingly public about their relationship in recent months. <\/p>\n<p>\nThey went Instagram official in June after being romantically linked earlier in the year, and Lewis has since shared photographs featuring Kim during his Formula One summer break. Kim also posted pictures of the pair together during a recent Hawaii vacation.<\/p>\n<p>\nKim has now returned to work on All\u2019s Fair, in which she plays divorce lawyer Allura Grant. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe series follows a group of female divorce attorneys who leave a male-dominated firm to establish their own practice.<\/p>\n<p>\nGlenn plays Dina Standish, while Naomi Watts stars as Liberty Ronson, Niecy Nash-Betts plays Emerald Greene, Teyana Taylor portrays Milan and Sarah Paulson appears as Carrington Lane. <\/p>\n<p>\nMatthew Noszka also stars as Chase Munroe.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe series received a wave of negative reviews following its debut in 2025, including criticism of Kim\u2019s performance, but Hulu renewed it for a second season in November.<\/p>\n<p>\nKim previously addressed the pressure she felt about taking on a scripted television role during an episode of her Hulu reality series The Kardashians.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt is crazy that this journey is over. Here\u2019s the thing with these shows \u2013 it is not guaranteed that it\u2019s gonna be a hit.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo you put your heart and soul and your time into something, and it\u2019s like, \u2018What if it doesn\u2019t hit?\u2019 Then what was this for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKim added: \u201cObviously with everything in life, you got to take risks to get there, but I have taken all the risks.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI think doing a scripted show is more pressure. There\u2019s definitely a judging meter of like, \u2018You can act and you are a bad actress.\u2019 Being on a reality show, you\u2019re just living your life. To get people to like a character is probably easier than to get people to like you for who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAll\u2019s Fair followed Kim\u2019s previous collaboration with Ryan on American Horror Story: Delicate, in which she played publicist Siobhan Corbyn.<\/p>\n<p>\nKim first became internationally famous through Keeping Up with the Kardashians, before building her SKIMS business and moving her family\u2019s reality television franchise to Hulu with The Kardashians.<\/p>\n<p>\nGlenn, meanwhile, has a screen career spanning more than four decades, including her Oscar-nominated role as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, as well as performances in Dangerous Liaisons, Albert Nobbs and The Wife. She also played Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians.<\/p>\n<p>\nHer friendship with Kim has previously featured on The Kardashians, where Kris Jenner hosted a pajama movie night to watch Fatal Attraction with the pair.<\/p>\n<p>\nGlenn also joked about the savage reviews for All\u2019s Fair last year by sharing an image of the cast alongside a reference to the infamous rabbit scene from Fatal Attraction.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/glenn-close-defends-kim-kardashian-after-alls-fair-acting-backlash-1449613.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 August 2026 Glenn Close has leapt to the defense of Kim Kardashian over criticism of her acting in All\u2019s Fair.
