The NFL legend Tom Brady was the target of a shocking backlash when reality TV actress and businesswoman Kim Kardashian took the stage to roast him during the Netflix event “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.”
Before Kardashian could even begin her routine, the live audience started jeering her as host Kevin Hart introduced her. After more than ten seconds of jeers, Kardashian paused to accept the audience’s disapproval.
Kardashian continued with her roast despite the initial backlash, making jokes about the reports that she was dating Brady and bringing up her notorious 2007 sex tape. She went so far as to compare Brady’s look to that of Caitlyn Jenner, her stepfather.
It’s interesting to note that Netflix decided to remove the jeers from the audience from the final cut of the roast, which is currently accessible on the streaming service. This choice has caused considerable criticism because some viewers are upset that this important moment was removed.
The edited version of the video still includes a contentious joke by comic Tony Hinchcliffe that made misogynistic statements about Kim Kardashian. The joke is violent in nature. There have also been some Netflix users who have criticized this.
Fans have praised the roast despite the changes, with many praising the performances of other comedians including Nikki Glaser, who made scathing remarks about Brady’s age and his multiple retirements.
The event took an exciting turn when the audience responded unexpectedly well to Kim Kardashian’s entrance. However, the streaming platform’s handling of sensitive content has been under scrutiny after the decision to remove the booing was made. It’s unclear how viewers will react to the finished product as the roast continues to spark debate.
