Kim Kardashian Booed On Stage During Netflix Tom Brady Roast Special
Recently, Kim faced a challenging evening at Netflix’s live event, “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.”
Despite being introduced by roast master Kevin Hart, she was booed by the audience, and the negative response got louder as she attempted to begin her monologue.
The booing audience comes after Kim found herself embroiled in controversy following Taylor Swift’s alleged diss track, “Thank you aIMee.”
The song’s lyrics, particularly the first verse, appear to reference the mom of four directly, portraying her in a negative light.
Swift previously described Kim as a “bully” in a 2019 ELLE essay, writing, “In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet.”
Is Kim Kardashian’s Popularity Declining?
In January, ELLE highlighted a decline in the Kardashian family’s product sales, noting they no longer sell out on launch days. Critics expressed growing pushback. Evolution also pointed out that Kim’s popularity decline began with her choice to wear a Marilyn Monroe dress at the 2022 Met Gala.
At the time, the reality star was heavily criticized for the crash diet to fit in the gown and for allegations that the delicate fabric was torn, sparking concern among costume professionals about handling historical garments.
Sarah Scaturro, the chief conservator at the Cleveland Museum of Art, expressed, “I’m frustrated because it sets back what is considered a professional treatment for historic costume.”

She highlighted a resolution from the ’80s adding: “In the ’80s, a bunch of costume professionals came together to state a resolution that historic costumes should not be worn. So I worry that colleagues in historic costume collections are now going to be pressured by important people to let them wear garments.”
