Kim Kardashian caught off guard as Sarah Paulson playfully spanks her at ‘All’s Fair’ premiere

Kim Kardashian was left laughing awkwardly after her All’s Fair co-star Sarah Paulson gave her a cheeky surprise — quite literally — at the series premiere on Tuesday night.

The incident took place at The Whitby Hotel, where the 43-year-old reality star turned actress was posing for photos alongside Paulson, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy.

As the cameras flashed, Paulson mischievously smacked Kim’s famously curvy backside, which was tightly wrapped in a black mini skirt. The 50-year-old actress followed up with a few more playful taps, grinning as the crowd erupted in laughter.

Kim, caught off guard but clearly amused, laughed and brushed off the moment, sharing a lighthearted exchange with her co-star. The two women have grown close while promoting their new Hulu legal drama — and their off-screen chemistry was unmistakable.

In All’s Fair, Kardashian stars as Allura Grant, a fierce divorce attorney who launches her own all-female law firm after splitting from her wealthy, younger husband. The Ryan Murphy–produced series also features guest appearances from Brooke Shields, Elizabeth Berkley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Judith Light.

Speaking recently on The Graham Norton Show, Kardashian said she worked hard to hold her own among the powerhouse cast.

“Working with a cast like this, I wanted to make sure I was completely prepared,” she said. “I knew my lines, was on time, and stayed professional. These women are the best at what they do — I just watched and learned every day.”

The SKIMS founder also revealed that she’s awaiting results from the California bar exam, which she took in July.

“I get the results a few days after our premiere,” she said. “So please pray for me — I worked really hard.”

Kardashian has spent six years completing her law apprenticeship, an alternative route that allowed her to bypass law school. She passed the “baby bar” on her fourth attempt in 2021 and is now on the cusp of achieving her dream of becoming a licensed attorney.

“If I pass,” she said with a smile, “maybe in ten years I’ll hang up being Kim K — and be a trial lawyer instead.”
