At the highly anticipated roast of NFL legend Tom Brady, hosted at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Kim Kardashian encountered a surprisingly hostile reception from the crowd.
The event, part of Netflix’s ‘Netflix Is a Joke Fest,’ saw the reality star and entrepreneur take the stage, only to be greeted with a chorus of boos as she began her comedic bit.
A Frosty Welcome in Her Hometown
As a Los Angeles native, Kardashian might have expected a warmer welcome, but the audience’s reaction was chilly from the moment she appeared. Introduced by comedian Kevin Hart, the 43-year-old briefly faltered, pausing after the initial jeers.
Attempting to deliver her lines, she commented on Hart’s height, which was met with an intensified wave of disapproval from the audience.
Kardashian playfully addressed Hart with a calm “Alright, alright, alright,” echoing Matthew McConaughey’s famous catchphrase to regain control and lighten the mood. Still, the attempt did little to sway the crowd’s mood.

Celebrities and Comics Share the Stage
The roast featured a lineup of renowned comics, including Jeffrey Ross, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schulz, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Sam Jay, all ready to take their jabs at Brady.
The event also boasted appearances by Brady’s former teammates like Rob Gronkowski, Randy Moss, and Julian Edelman, adding humor and nostalgia to the proceedings.
Kardashian’s Controversial Jokes
Undeterred by the reception, Kardashian launched into a series of jokes that played on her personal life and public persona. She poked fun at Brady’s looks, comparing him to her stepdad, Caitlyn Jenner.
The comparison was highlighted with a funny meme showing Brady’s physical transformation over the years, ending with a photo resembling Jenner.

Concluding with a Controversial Toast
Kardashian wrapped up her segment with a nod to her family’s infamous connection to O.J. Simpson, remarking on the difficulty of watching Brady being roasted, given her family’s history with defending former football players. This final joke echoed through the venue, leaving a lasting impression as she exited the stage.
Later in the event, Tom Brady took a playful jab at Kim Kardashian, hinting at her nervousness about the evening. This remark added another layer of celebrity banter to the spirited roast.
