Kim Kardashian gets mercilessly booed trying to roast comedy legend-Rebecca Sayce-Entertainment – Metro

Kim Kardashian found herself at the butt of the jokes at Tom Brady’s comedy roast after she was relentlessly booed by the crowd.
The reality TV star, 43, took to the podium at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum for the live event as part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest, but appeared shocked by the jeering reception she received.
The socialite was heavily booed by the crowd as she took to the stage, which only ceased when comedian Kevin Hart asked the audience to stop.
She began her routine by attempting to roast Hart himself but cut herself off as she did a double take of the raucous crowd – for all the wrong reasons.
‘I know a lot of people make fun of your height,’ she began, before stopping to take in the less-than-impressed crowd.
Despite the passionately negative reaction, Kim ploughed on with her set alluding to rumours that she had previously dated former NFL player Brady.

‘I’m really here tonight for Tom,’ she began. ‘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 also poked fun of her infamous 2007 sex tape with Ray-J, continuing ‘I know there were some rumours that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not – I’d just release a tape.’
Kim even pulled her mother Kris Jenner into the mix and her former spouse Caitlyn Jenner, saying: ‘I do know it would’ve never worked out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair. You remind me too much of my stepdad now.
‘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.’
Ending her set, she mentioned the work of her late father Robert Kardashian, who was famously part of OJ Simpson’s legal team for his 1995 murder trial.

‘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 continued.
‘So I’m just here tonight to support you and celebrate you – I’ll give you the same advice I give all of my exes, good luck knowing the best is behind you … cheers, everyone, to Tom Brady.’
Kim also found herself at the receiving end of some pretty vicious jokes on the night, with Brady himself firing shots at Kim’s ex-husband and controversial rapper Kanye West, with whom she shares children North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four.
Brady quipped: ‘I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight…not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad.’
Comedian Tom Hinchcliffe also had some savage barbs up his sleeve for the Skims owner in a bizarre reference to Will Ferrell’s much-loved comedy flick Anchorman and one of its most famous quotes.
‘Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means “a whale’s vagina.”‘ he began.

‘A whale’s vagina, which reminds me, Kim Kardashian’s here – she’s had a lot of Black Men celebrate in her end zone. Kim, word of advice, close your legs, you have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.’
Viewers of The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady were quick to share their opinions over the brutal takedown of Kim, with many branding it the ‘highlight’ of the roast.
‘Kim Kardashian being boo’d restores my faith in America,’ Littleman1229 wrote on X.
MissSassbox added: ‘OMG, they booed Kim Kardashian so bad. That was embarrassing. Audience only stopped because Kevin asked them to stop.’
TheWakeninq joked: ‘Kim Kardashian just got reality checked at the roast of Tom Brady lmao 🤣.’
Netflix Is a Joke Fest, which will take place from May 2 to 12, features live performances from the likes of Ali Wong, Gabriel Iglesias, Sarah Silverman, Fortune Feimster, Kevin Hart, and many more.
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady is available to stream on Netflix now.
