Tom Brady's Netflix roast was, by all accounts, a great one.
Various personalities, from his former New England Patriots cohorts Bill Belichick, Drew Bledsoe, Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, and Julian Edelman, to comedians Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross, had plenty of funny things to say about the legendary quarterback. They were met with thunderous laughs and applause.
Not all guests were treated similarly, however. One person who got the opposite treatment was Kim Kardashian. When it was the socialite's turn to take the stage, boos could be heard in the distance to the point that Hart had to try to pacify them as she tried to get her thoughts together:
So what happened?
Kardashian already has a sizable hatedom outside the NFL. Within the NFL, meanwhile, some resent her relationship with former Heisman winner Reggie Bush, which fans believe overshadowed his playing career. Sections of the NFL community were also upset with the Tom Brady dating rumors that ultimately amounted to nothing.
As for the roast itself, some fans pointed to robotic delivery that lacked genuine humor.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy compared it to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell when the Patriots won the Super Bowl.
What did Kim Kardashian say during Tom Brady's roast?
First, she addressed the dating rumors pertaining to Tom Brady:
“I’m really here tonight for Tom. 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.”
Then she compared Brady to her stepparent Caitlyn:
“An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair… You remind me too much of my stepdad now.”
Soon, a meme titled “the evolution of Tom Brady” appeared, to which she said:
“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 Republica, or even a strong, confident woman.”
The segment closed with an allusion to the late OJ Simpson and his legal troubles (Kardashian’s father Robert was the Hall of Famer’s defense attorney during his murder trial).
