According to Deadline, American actress, model, and TV personality Lisa Rinna is set to star in the third season of American Horror Stories. This show is a spin-off of the hit FX show American Horror Story and first premiered on July 15, 2021. Both shows follow the anthology format and have been praised for their suspense and old-school horror plots.

The upcoming season of American Horror Stories, titled Tapeworm, has already amped up fans' expectations. However, the casting of Lisa Rinna in the upcoming season of American Horror Stories has been a subject of much debate among netizens. People who follow American pop culture are aware of her infamy, although several fans who love her have come forward in support of her.

Yet, the majority of AHS fans are disappointed with the casting choice. In fact, when the news was announced, one fan blatantly compared her to Kim Kardashian, claiming that the casting choice has only worsened the franchise. Kanye West's ex-wife was recently cast in American Horror Story season 12 and faced similar criticisms from fans and netizens alike.

From the above comments, it is evident that most fans were unhappy with the casting choice. Some called the actress gross and even said that the show was steadily moving towards its own demise.

Netizens believe that the actress always tries to put her name in anything and everything in order to earn a payday. This behavior of hers has turned her into a running internet joke as she is often dubbed as "QVC queen."

One fan even expressed their shock regarding the franchise going from featuring the likes of Jessica Lange to that of Lisa Rinna. Several fans even asked if the announcement was serious or just a joke, sharing memes to express their displeasure. However, there was still a section of fans who were glad by this news.
