Are you surprised? This is what she’s been reduced to!
Glenn Close has responded to the harsh reviews “All’s Fair” has received since its Tuesday premiere with a surprising Instagram post connected to her hit 1987 movie “Fatal Attraction.”
Close – who stars in the new Ryan Murphy-created legal drama alongside Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash and Teyana Taylor – shared a hand-drawn image of her and her co-stars surrounding a pot labeled “critic bunny stew” on Thursday.
“Fatal Attraction” starred Close as Alex Forrest and Michael Douglas as family man Dan Gallagher. It follows the pair after a passionate weekend love affair.
Close’s character, however, becomes increasingly obsessed with Douglas’ and eventually boils his daughter’s pet bunny in a pot on the family’s kitchen stove.
Taylor, 34, commented on the “Dangerous Liaisons” star’s seething post with a series of heart-eye and kiss-face emojis, while the official “All’s Fair” Instagram account called the post “a masterpiece.”
The “101 Dalmations” star, 78, previously opened up about how “Fatal Attraction” helped her bond with the rest of the “All’s Fair” cast – especially after she learned Kardashian, 45, had never seen the Oscar-nominated thriller.
“It came up that Kim had never seen ‘Fatal Attraction,’” Close explained in April. “So we said we should all get together and have a pajama party and watch ‘Fatal Attraction,’ and watch Kim watching ‘Fatal Attraction.’ And we did.”
The Skims founder detailed the cast’s watch party further during an appearance on “The View” last month.
“We had a little sleepover,” Kardashian, joined by Nash and Taylor, told the panel. “It was really fun.”
“Let me tell you, Glenn was wasted,” the reality star added. “So, she was spilling every tea!”
Nash, 55, interjected to share how Close filled her “All’s Fair” co-stars in on “all the backstories” viewers might not know when watching the Adrian Lyne-directed flick.
“It would be like, ‘Wait, pause it.’ She was like, ‘I needed a pitcher of tequila before. It was hiding at the bottom. If you look close enough in the elevator scene,’” Kardashian continued. “Every scene, she had a story.”
As for “All’s Fair,” the new series follows a team of female divorce attorneys starting their own all-female practice.
The show, which premiered on Hulu earlier this week, was skewered by critics and started with a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad,” Lucy Mangan of The Guardian wrote in her review. Kelly Lawler of USA Today called the legal drama “the worst TV show of the year,” while The Hollywood Reporter’s Angie Han called the series “brain dead.”
The Post, meanwhile, described it as so “mind-boggling” that not even the real actors on the show could help save such a “trainwreck.”
But Close wouldn’t be the first star to fire back at the show’s many critics. Director Anthony Hemingway defended “All’s Fair” in an interview with THR published Wednesday.
“You’re not going to please everybody,” Hemingway, 48, told the outlet. “You may have certain criticisms, while there are a million others who love it.”
“I think the show holds a mirror up to each person who watches it,” he continued. “It’s just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it, and see yourself? It may be out of your league, it may not be anything you can connect to, and I think that goes for anything that gets presented on screen.”
