An awkward moment from Tom Brady’s roast during which Kim Kardashian was heavily booed by the crowd has been edited out from the newly released Netflix special.
“The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady,” which aired live on the streamer Sunday, featured plenty of embarrassing moments for the stars in attendance who hurled insults at one another, but Kardashian’s arrival at the podium proved too much for Netflix decision-makers.
The audible boos were heard during the live broadcast, as Kardashian stood staring at the audience, waiting for them to quiet down.
“Alright, alright,” she says to the crowd, as another voice onstage can be heard saying “Woah woah woah,” trying to get the crowd to calm down.
One source close to the production told The Hollywood Reporter that Netflix edited out only the boos, but kept the rest of Kardashian’s speech.
After the crowd quieted, Kardashian went ahead with her scripted jokes.
“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,” she said. “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape. … I’ll give you the same advice I give all of my exes: good luck knowing the best is behind you.”
While Netflix decided to cut the boos, they left in many jaw-dropping jokes, including one that took aim at Kardashian.
Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian known for his insult humor, is facing backlash online for one moment in which he discussed the film “Anchorman,” and said, “A whale’s vagina, which reminds me, Kim Kardashian’s here. She’s had a lot of Black men celebrating her end zone. Kim, word of advice, close your legs. You have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”
