Taylor Schilling disses celebrity obsessed 'Kim Kardashian culture'

Orange is the New Black star Taylor Schilling made one thing very clear during her interview with Elle Canada: she does not want to be like Kim Kardashian.

Schilling, who portrays Piper Chapman on the hit Netflix show loosely based off of Piper Kerman’s memoir of the same name, said she doesn’t want anything to do with the celebrity culture.

“I feel that there is a part of the acting world that has gotten mixed up in the world of celebrity – as if they’re the same thing,” she told Elle Canada.

“If you’re someone who is interested in a creative profession, then you’re also required to cultivate this celebrity. They are not one and the same. I don’t know if you get more jobs if you have more Instagram followers; that hasn’t been my experience.”

She also said she’s become “defiant” at this “celebrity Kim Kardashian culture” because it’s not “what I signed up for.”

“I’d rather create something honest than try to create something for a social-media account,” Schilling continued.
