Insiders believe that Kim Kardashian was taken aback by the “brutal” reaction she got when she publicly ridiculed Tom Brady on Netflix. The reality star was offended by the volume of jeers she encountered.
When Kim, 43, entered the stage at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Sunday night to roast the NFL champion for The Greatest Roast of All Time, which aired live on the streaming service, she was heckled by the crowd.
As she addressed the crowd while holding a glass of champagne, Kim tried to make a joke about presenter Kevin Hart’s height, but she was loudly jeered, and the comic seemed to intervene to defuse the situation.
An insider exclusively told DailyMail.com, “Kim expected some jokes to be sent her way, maybe some backlash because there are always haters, but this was way more than she ever expected.” It took her by surprise and knocked her out of her game.
She made an effort to accept it since it’s a roast, but she wasn’t fond of the boos. Although it upset her, she is now fine with it after spending a day or two in the lion’s den. However, Sunday night was particularly harsh and greatly unnerved her.
She joked with Kevin as she took the stage, saying, “I know a lot of people make fun of your height,” and received a chilly reaction shortly after.
Kim gave the response a second look before shoving the crowd back and yelling, “Alright, alright, alright.”
Kevin seemed to intervene to defuse the situation as the jeers continued, and he was heard shouting, “Woah, woah, woah,” off-screen.
Another source from the telecast said that there was even more booing inside, with some fans yelling “Aimee” during her performance as a reference to Taylor Swift’s song ThanK you aIMee, which is rumored to be about her breakup with Kim.
The insider claimed that Kim received even more jeers inside the building, with the telecast missing the worst of it.
“Thank you, Aimee,” were chanted. Many found it оffensive that she was present, and her ridicule was consistently one of the night’s most well-received jokes.
“This was live, which made it worse,” a third insider continued. In contrast to the reality show, she is unable to remove anything.
TikTоk users submitted videos taken inside the event, and people quickly commented on the videos with their thoughts.
“It’s unbelievable that Kim Kardashian was heckled at the Tom Brady Roast,” one user commented.
They just booed Kim Kardashian before she could even sаy a word, according to another.
“Bill Belichick receives a standing ovation while Kim Kardashian is jeered,” remarked a third person. “The greatest thing Netflix has ever produced is the Tom Brady roast.”
‘She wasn’t allowing herself to be fazed,’ according to a second, reliable person close to Kim.
At Monday night’s Met Gala, Kim seemed to brush off the criticism, but she was also praised for her “funny” speech in which she hinted at reports that she had had a romantic relationship with Tom.
“Tom is the reason I’m here tonight,” she stated. “I wasn’t planning to come tonight, but there’s a good chance I might since I’m not here as Tom’s date.”
