The reality star, 43, joined celebrities including sister Khloe Kardashian, 39, Katy Perry, 39, and Orlando Bloom, 47, at the gig at Largo at The Coronet.

The comedian, 66, was set to unload a new stand-up set after claims that she allowed a ‘toxic’ workplace to fester on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show scuttled her prime spot on daytime television.

Ellen is getting back into stand-up comedy for a tour and what she claims will be her final comedy special two years on from a scandal that led to the end of her popular daytime talk show.

In April, she complained in an earlier stand-up show at Largo that becoming ‘the most hated person in America’ had turned her into a recluse.

The controversy swirled up in 2020, when DeGeneres was accused by former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show of fostering an environment that allowed executives to allegedly bully and 𝑠e𝑥ually harass employees and make racist statements.

An investigation launched by WarnerMedia led the the firing of three executives, and Ellen claimed in a letter addressed to her staff that she had been completely unaware of all the incidents they had allegedly experienced.

Despite her seemingly apologetic tone, DeGeneres later described the controversy as a ‘coordinated misogynistic’ attack, because she said she couldn’t possibly have known what was going on with all of her employees, as the show had around 225 people working on it across multiple buildings.

She eventually said goodbye to her long-running series in 2022 after 19 seasons on the air.

Kim was stepping out amid furore for appearing on Variety’s Actors on Actors series opposite Oscar-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny.

Since the publication announced the duo were paired together for their elite series, in which accomplished performers engage in a conversation about their work, the  reality star has been slammed as unworthy of the honor compared to 49-year-old Boys Don’t Cry star.

In response to the full interview, released on Wednesday, social media users expressed their frustration to see the mother-of-four, whose latest role was in Ryan Murphy‘s American Horror Story: Delicate, recognized for her talent among actors like Robert Downey Jr., Jodie Foster, Quinta Brunson, and Elizabeth Debicki.

Under Variety’s YouTube video of Kardashian and Sevigny’s interview, one  commentor quipped that ‘Chloe deserves a second Oscar nomination for her performance as a woman who is actually interested in what Kim Kardashian has to say about anything.’

‘This is like having Katharine Hepburn being paired up with Paris Hilton,’ another  scoffed.

A third wrote: ‘I’ll never get over the fact that Variety invited Kim K to do this but not someone like Dakota Fanning who just wrapped up the Ripley series with Andrew Scott… and is an actual experienced actor is just so unbelievable and ridiculous,’ a third wrote. ‘So sorry Chloe, you deserve better than this.’

‘There are easy jokes to be made about this video, but truly it’s such a slap in the face to actual artists in the film industry,’ a fourth insisted. ‘The fact that someone like Kim K can just decide to be an actor on the highest level, while those who put their whole soul into it probably won’t ever get to be on Actors on Actors… just deeply upsetting.’

One viewer specifically criticized how Kardashian ‘did not ask one interesting question’ and dubbed their conversation ‘difficult to watch.’

Another said Kardashian sounded ‘dull and robotic’ while Sevigny came across as ‘so real and cool and charming.’

One disappointed fan even asked if the SKIMS founder paid to be included.
