“The most challenging part of playing the role of Elle was just trying to be the mean girl,“Kardashian said. “I’ve never really been that outspoken girl. It’s the confrontation that I’m not used to, so I think doing that was really kind of refreshing in a weird sick way.”

The actress took a stab at a dramatic role, playing Ava (alongside Vanessa Williams and Brandy Norwood) in the 2013 movie,Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Councelor. The film is about Judith, a marriage counselor who falls into a romantic relationship with one of her clients (and things get complicated). Ava is an employee who works alongside Judith.
Perry faced criticism after casting Kardashian, but he defended his decision, saying he thought the young fans she would attract would benefit from the film’s message.
“I thought, what better person! She literally has millions of young people following her,“he wrote on his personal websitein 2012. “I thought and still do think, that it would be very responsible of her to be a part of this film. To have the young people that look up to her, see her in a film that is about, what happens in life when you make the wrong choices.”
