On Sunday night, the spotlight was on Kim Kardashian as she took the stage during Netflix’s live comedy special, “The Roast of Tom Brady.” The reality star, known for her entrepreneurial ventures and high-profile relationships, found herself in an unexpected situation: being booed by the audience.
As the crowd at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles voiced their disapproval, Kardashian stood there, both mad and uncomfortable. She had walked onto the stage in a black dress, holding a glass of champagne, ready to deliver her roast. But the reception was far from warm.
Kevin Hart, the fellow presenter, had introduced Kardashian as the next roaster. However, instead of laughter and applause, she faced a barrage of boos. It was a moment that caught everyone off guard, especially considering the star-studded event.
Kardashian, undeterred, decided to carry on with her speech. She addressed the rumors that she and Tom Brady had once dated, saying, “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape.” The reference to a private video was met with mixed reactions from the audience.
But Kardashian didn’t stop there. She humorously compared Brady to her former stepdad, Caitlyn Jenner, an Olympic champion. “I know the transition from the NFL must have been really hard,” she quipped, “but I think my stepdad is a great example for you. She’s one of the greatest athletes in the world, who’s proved you can do anything in this next chapter. You can become a commentator, a far-right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman.”
In her three-minute speech, Kardashian also playfully teased Brady about his retirement from the NFL in February 2023. “I’m just here tonight to support you and celebrate you,” she said. “I’ll give you the same advice I give all of my exes: good luck knowing the best is behind you.”
Later in the roast, it was Brady’s turn to take the stage. He didn’t hold back either. The former NFL superstar returned the insults, including a savage burn directed at Kardashian. “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight,” he said, “not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad.” The audience erupted in laughter, and Kardashian awkwardly laughed along.
The unexpected boos may have caught Kardashian off guard, but she handled the situation with grace and humor. As the night unfolded, it became clear that even in a room full of celebrities, no one was safe from the sharp wit of the roasters.
In the end, the booing incident added an extra layer of drama to an already memorable evening. Whether intentional or not, Kardashian’s moment in the spotlight became one of the highlights of “The Roast of Tom Brady.”
