Sarah Paulson recently shared a humorous on-set incident involving Kim Kardashian while working on their forthcoming legal drama, “All’s Fair.”

The 50-year-old actress recounted a moment during an intense scene where her performance inadvertently became a bit too authentic. As she was delivering lines, a piece of food unexpectedly flew from her mouth, striking the 45-year-old Kardashian in the eye.

Paulson detailed the mishap to People, explaining, “I had to hurl some rather scandalous words at Kim. In one instance, a potato chip accidentally shot out as I was passionately shouting, and it landed right in her eye.”

Fellow cast members, including Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, and Teyana Taylor, noted that Paulson and Kardashian often found it challenging to maintain composure during filming.

“Sarah and Kim struggled not to laugh when facing each other,” Close remarked. Nash-Betts chimed in, “Once the giggles started, we all knew it would take at least 30 minutes to regain focus.”

In the Ryan Murphy series, Kardashian steps into the role of a formidable divorce attorney, Allura Grant.

Sarah Paulson has admitted to an unexpected on-set mishap with Kim Kardashian while filming their upcoming legal drama All’s Fair (seen on October 2025)

The show follows a team of high-powered female lawyers who leave their firm to start their own company as Allura vows to destroy her younger husband who married her for money.

Big name guest stars including Brooke Shields, Elizabeth Berkley, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Judith Light appear in the series as the attorneys’ clients. 

While appearing on the Graham Norton show, she said: ‘Working with a cast like this I wanted to make sure I was completely prepared. What I could control was absolutely knowing my lines, being on time and being super professional.

‘These women are the greatest at what they do, and I just watched and learned every day.’

She added, ‘It was an honor, and I have just had the best time. Working with these women was like summer camp.’

Elsewhere during the television spot, the SKIMS founder revealed she will soon find out if she passed the bar exam.

‘I took the bar exam in July. I get the results a few days after our [All’s Fair] premiere. So in two weeks. So everyone please pray for me. I worked really hard,’ she said.

As she awaits the results of the bar exam, she could be days away from fulfilling her longtime dream to be a legal professional.

The reality television star-turned-mogul estimated, ‘Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.’

Kim has spent six years working on a law apprenticeship — the unconventional path that allowed her to bypass law school — before officially wrapping the program on May 21, 2025.

She passed the ‘baby bar’ on her fourth try in December 2021, clearing the first major hurdle on her way to becoming a licensed attorney.

Later, she faced the notoriously brutal California bar, considered the hardest in the nation, with one of the lowest pass rates.

Kardashian will find out the results of her exam on November 7, 2025.
