Beverly Hope

Beverly Hope is the secondary antagonist of American Horror Story: Cult.

She is portrayed by Adina Porter, who also portrayed by Lee Harris.

History
Beverly Hope is a broadcast news journalist. When Kai Anderson begins to build his Cult, he sees potential in Beverly. He goes to her and tries to convince her to join his side. In order to fully convince her, Kai murders Beverly's archrival, Serena Belinda, while donning a clown costume. Beverly realizes it was him and agrees to join the Cult.

As a member of the Cult, Beverly adopts the identity of the Pentagram clown. She assists Kai in multiple deeds, such as scaring Ally at the supermarket, breaking into her home, as well as the murders. Beverly essentially acted as Kai's chief enforcer and right-hand woman, aside from Winter.

After Kai expands upon his Cult and adds on multiple male members, Beverly begins to feel neglected and schemes against Kai behind the scenes. After Winter kills Detective Samuels, she blames the murder on Beverly and Kai puts her in solitary, with Ally Mayfair-Richards now taking on the identity of the Pentagram clown.

In the end, Beverly manages to escape the Cult and joins Ally against Kai. She is the one who ultimately ends up killing him.

Trivia

 * It is unclear if she was the Pentagram clown who assisted in killing Gary or if it was Ally.
