Broadway legend Patti LuPone shaded The Kardashians star during an April 23 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, saying she was “taking a role away” from a trained actor.
“Excuse me, excuse me, Kim, you know, what are you doing with your life? Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington,” the Evita alum quipped, appearing to make a reference to the 1935 Noël Coward song with lyrics that read, “Don’t put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington.”

“Well … you know … acting. It may not be brain surgery, but we do treasure our art,” the Basic Instinct star wrote, adding, “We studied, we suffered, we do suffer for it. Ten thousand hours; it’s a thing,” seeming to reference author Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote that it takes “10,000 hours” of practice to achieve true expertise in any skill.
