American reality television star Kim Kardashian has revealed that harsh criticism of her acting left her questioning her abilities and nearly prompted her to walk away from her upcoming film, The Fifth Wheel.
The television personality and entrepreneur opened up about her insecurities during the October 22 episode of the reality series The Kardashians, explaining how negative reactions to her performance in the drama All’s Fair affected her confidence.

According to international media reports, the negative feedback left Kardashian wondering whether the filmmakers behind her upcoming project, The Fifth Wheel, regretted casting her.
She also feared that her involvement might negatively affect the film’s prospects, raising doubts about whether she should continue with the production.
