It was a shocking sight when Kim Kardashian was booed by the crowd Sunday evening at the Kia Forum in her hometown of Los Angeles when she took the podium at the roast of Tom Brady.
The reality star from Los Angeles didn’t see the chilly reception coming at the event, which was broadcast on Netflix as part of the streaming service’s Netflix Is a Joke Fest.
Did Crowd Boo Kim Kardashian at Tom Brady Roast?
She was jeered even before she made a statement, she then paused for a moment after thanking host Kevin Hart, 44.
She tried to make people laugh and said to Hart, ‘I know a lot of people make fun of your height,’ before appearing to do a double take at the outburst from the ‘not impressed’ public.
Kardashian, who sported blonde locks as she held a Champagne glass at the event made effort to get the show back on track, saying, ‘Alright, alright, alright, Kevin,’ who himself appeared to jump in to do damage control as he said, ‘Whoa, whoa’.
Social Media Reacts
A number of people took to social media to share their reactions as she was booed.
‘Kim Kardashian getting booed at the Tom Brady Roast is incredible,’ one user wrote, while another said, THEY JUST BOOED KIM KARDASHIAN BEFORE SHE EVEN SAID A WORD LMFAO.’
Said one user: ‘Bill Belichick gets a standing ovation and Kim Kardashian gets booed. The Tom Brady roast is the best thing Netflix has ever produced.’

Some users said that the booing was reflective of the public’s general exhaustion with the Kardashians and their broadcasting/marketing empire.
‘Guess you should only appear live when you can control the narrative. Otherwise you’ll get booed right off the stage every time,’ the user said, adding ‘Team Yeezy’ to the end of their post.
Said one user: ‘We keep trying to tell “the powers that be” that we don’t want that family in our spaces! Yet, they INSIST on pushing them in our faces, anyway!’
