Kardashian sparked backlash for tweeting from the set and additional caught flack after posting a photograph of herself and SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher at a Dolce & Gabbana promotional occasion in Italy, simply days earlier than the guild contract was set to run out. “That wasn’t a selfie,” Drescher stated through the press convention asserting the strike. “I’m a model ambassador for a vogue firm and so is Kim. I had solely met Kim seconds earlier than that publicity image was taken. It had nothing to do with being at a celebration or having enjoyable — it was absolute work,” she continued. “We work. That’s what we do.” (Because it seems, some folks do need to work nowadays, Kim.)
The sequence, which is certainly one of only some that was nonetheless filming within the U.S. in current weeks, has no official launch date. Its return is, in response to the trailer, “coming quickly.”
