So, Halle Berry was all set to join Kim Kardashian in the TV show All’s Fair—sounds like a wild ride already, right? Halle was ready to swap Hollywood gossip with Kim, who’s gearing up to flex her acting chops as a divorce lawyer. Glenn Close was also in the mix, presumably plotting some high-stakes legal drama, and there were a few more stars sprinkled in for good measure.
But, plot twist! Halle decided to bow out of the project, leaving fans to wonder what happened. When Halle showed up at the premiere of her latest flick, The Union, she finally spilled some beans.
“You know, things happen for a reason,” Halle told Entertainment Tonight, which is a polite way of saying, “Oops, I bailed.” She added, “I would have loved to have been there with those ladies. I mean, who wouldn’t want to share a set with Kim Kardashian, right? It’s gonna be fabulous!”
Halle then threw in an enthusiastic, “It’s Ryan Murphy! Duh!” as if Ryan Murphy’s name alone is like a magic spell that makes everything instantly fabulous. “But, hey, next time, for sure!” she said, implying that her schedule was too packed with other glamorous stuff to squeeze in this particular drama.
As for why she actually left? That’s still a mystery. Maybe she just couldn’t resist the call of a more glamorous red carpet or a hot new project. Either way, the show will go on—without Halle’s sparkle this time.
