At Tom Brady’s roast titled “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” hosted on Netflix, Kim Kardashian experienced a challenging evening as she faced a torrent of boos from the audience. The event, aimed at humorously critiquing the celebrated NFL star, saw a variety of celebrities taking the stage, but Kardashian’s appearance seemed to particularly stir the crowd.
Kim, a reality TV star and business mogul, attempted to deliver jokes about her long-time friend Tom Brady, but the audience’s response was overwhelmingly negative. From the moment she stepped up to the microphone, the boos were loud and persistent, making it difficult for her to get her routine across. Despite the adverse reaction, Kim tried to steer the situation back on course with a joke about the event’s host, Kevin Hart’s height, but to no avail as the boos only intensified.
During her time on stage, Kim did manage to make some edgy jokes, including a quip about past rumors linking her romantically to Brady, and a comparison of Brady to Caitlyn Jenner, referencing Jenner’s athletic past and transition. These jokes reflected Kardashian’s typical media savvy and willingness to engage with controversial topics.
However, the night continued to be rough for Kim. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, following Kardashian, made a crass joke linking her to the term from the movie “Anchorman,” suggesting an offensive comparison which was met with mixed reactions from the crowd. When Tom Brady himself took the stage later, he didn’t shy away from making a sharp comment about Kardashian, humorously citing her fear about her children being at home with their father, Kanye West, reflecting on her publicly tumultuous relationship with West.
This roast of Tom Brady, while filled with typical roast-style barbs and jests, highlighted the fine line between humor and discomfort, as audience reactions to Kardashian’s segment demonstrated the challenging dynamics of celebrity roasts, where the humor can sometimes turn too personal and biting. Despite the harsh reactions, Kim Kardashian’s ability to face the critical crowd without backing down was noted by many, showcasing her resilience in the face of public scrutiny and criticism.
