Kim Kardashian has revealed that her new legal drama role in All’s Fair was directly inspired by her longtime divorce attorney, Laura Wasser. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, the 45-year-old reality star said Wasser — who represented her during her divorces from Kanye West (2022) and Kris Humphries (2013) — served as both a model for her character and a consultant on the series. The show, created by Ryan Murphy, premieres November 4 on Hulu and marks Kardashian’s first major scripted lead role.
The Role and Its Origins
In All’s Fair, Kim Kardashian plays Allura Grant, a sharp, independent attorney who leaves a male-dominated firm to establish her own women-led law practice in Los Angeles. The series also stars Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Teyana Taylor.
Kardashian confirmed that she drew on Wasser’s “bad-ass” professionalism and 40 years of courtroom experience while shaping her portrayal. Wasser, who also served as a writing consultant for the show, is widely regarded as one of Hollywood’s top divorce lawyers.
Murphy, who previously worked with Kardashian on American Horror Story: Delicate, designed the series around her growing passion for law and advocacy.
Quotes and Reactions
“Laura happened to be my attorney for two divorces out of the three,” Kardashian told PEOPLE. “I drew inspiration from seeing what a bad-ass woman she’s been.”
Costar Naomi Watts praised Kardashian’s work ethic, noting that the star balanced her bar exam studies with daily filming. “She crushed it daily,” Watts said. Glenn Close and Niecy Nash-Betts echoed similar sentiments, describing the set as “women supporting women in front of and behind the camera.”
Murphy added that Kardashian surprised him with her commitment: “She said no to a show about her reality TV life — but yes to one inspired by her legal journey.”
A Turning Point in Kim Kardashian’s Acting and Legal Path
The role represents a pivotal moment for Kim Kardashian as she transitions from reality television to serious drama. Beyond her entertainment career, Kardashian has spent six years pursuing law, passing California’s baby bar and the MPRE exam.
Her performance in All’s Fair could redefine her public image — from celebrity influencer to credible actor and advocate for legal reform. The show also underscores the growing influence of women in media portraying leadership, justice, and independence.
What’s Next — Premiere and Future Plans
All’s Fair premieres on Hulu on November 4, 2025, with early critics already highlighting Kardashian’s surprisingly authentic performance. She expects her California bar exam results in November, potentially coinciding with the show’s debut momentum.
