Halle Berry has reportedly left Kim Kardashian’s upcoming legal drama. Just a week ago, the 57-yearold star was reported to be part of the cast for ‘All’s Fair’ - which has been created by ‘American Horror Story’ boss Ryan Murphy - alongside Glenn Close and reality star turned actress Kim. Now, Variety has reported that she has “bowed out of the show due to a scheduling conflict”.

She had also been attached to executive produce, but will no longer be attached to the show in any capacity. The series is set to focus on an all-female law firm in Los Angeles, while specific details regarding Halle’s planned character had been kept under wraps.

Ryan will write, direct and executive produce the project, which is the first of his series announced under his new Disney deal after his Netflix agreement came to an end. Kim and Glenn are both executive producers, along with Kris Jenner, Alexis Martin Woodall, Scott Robertson and Eric Kovtun.

Kim made her acting debut as publicist Siobhan Corbyn in ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’, and the spooky anthology show’s creator was delighted with the praise for her performance. In a recent episode of ‘The Kardashians’, Ryan told her: “You were really, really good to the point where they called me and were like, ‘Do you think Kim would want to do her own show?’ “

In a confessional after the chat, Kim joked she wasn’t should what she “got herself into”, and wondered if she could “really pull this off”. Ryan - who also created the likes of ‘Glee’, ‘Nip/ Tuck’, ‘Ratched’ and more - then revealed his pitch for Kim’s potential series. He suggested: “Kim is the world’s best, most expensive divorce lawyer, and she has her own firm, and the thing about her firm is it’s an all-female firm.” Kim - who filed from divorce from ex Kanye West early in 2021 before finalising the split the following year - joked she “has some experience” in the field.
