Kim Kardashian booed at Tom Brady Roast on Netflix
Kim Kardashian faced a less-than-welcoming crowd during her surprise appearance at Netflix’s star-studded event, “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.” The scene unfolded at the Kia Forum, where the entrepreneur and reality TV superstar was introduced by none other than Kevin Hart.
As Hart handed over the stage, the audience’s reaction shifted to loud boos, a greeting Kardashian met with a poised “Alright, alright, alright.” Despite the initial harsh reception, Hart was quick to intervene with a surprised “Whoa! Whoa!” suggesting the audience pump the brakes on their disapproval.
Once the booing subsided, Kardashian, true to her public persona of never letting anything keep her down, dove straight into her roast, focusing her sharp wit on the man of the hour, Tom Brady. “I’m really here tonight for Tom. I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might,” she quipped, drawing laughter and easing some of the earlier tension.
Kardashian’s humor didn’t stop there. She drew an unexpected parallel between Brady and her stepdad, Caitlyn Jenner, with a joke that highlighted their physical similarities. “An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair… You remind me too much of my stepdad now,” she remarked, setting the stage for a meme displayed onscreen that showed “the evolution of Tom Brady” morphing into Jenner.
Continuing her comedic stride, Kardashian teased Brady about his post-NFL life possibilities, saying, “Part of me thinks you would want to entrust me just to try on my clothes. I know the transition from the NFL must’ve been really hard, but I think my stepdad is a great example for you. She’s one of the best athletes in the world, who proved you could do anything in this next chapter in your life. You can become a commentator, a far-right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman.”
Kim Kardashian closes roast with a jab at O.J. Simpson
Wrapping up her appearance, Kardashian couldn’t resist invoking the name of O.J. Simpson, a nod to her family’s complex history with the former football star. “Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you. But I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players,” she concluded, leaving the crowd with a mix of chuckles and shock.
