LuPone went on to detail why she has an issue with Kardashian’s casting, sharing she believed the role should go to an established actor instead.
“Excuse me, excuse me, Kim,” she said, addressing the reality star directly. “What are you doing with your life?”
“Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington,” she said, seemingly referring to the 1935 Noël Coward song in which the singer discourages a stage mom from allowing her daughter to pursue a stage career.
ActorJohn Leguizamo, who was sitting beside LuPone on the show, also weighed in on the topic, sharing, “Whatever she said, I double the emotion.”
