Kim Kardashian has thick skin, but Netflix’s Tom Brady roast was a reminder for the reality star that not everyone has embraced her and her famous family — especially sports fans.
On Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians, the Skims founder opened up about the headline-making event and it was clear she went into the evening underprepared.
“I’m here for Tom Brady’s roast, and let me say this … I had no idea it was sold out. I thought it was a private taping, so when I walk in, I was like, ‘Huh! There’s a lot of people here,'” Kardashian laughed.

“My thoughts on the roast is I would never do a roast again. It’s not good for the soul. I could’ve never imagined that I would be booed, but you can’t f***ing win,” Kardashian said, adding how football fans “f***ing hate the Kardashians.”
“I thought I was going to get up and give a toast and leave. That was the whole plan. Then I was like — I can’t leave because then I was going to look like a poor sport, that I couldn’t handle anything,” she recalled.
Kardashian was heavily booed by the crowd at the live event in May, which Netflix edited out when it landed on the streamer. However, she maintained that it wasn’t at her request.
“I could care less,” Kardashian said. “Let me live my life, it happened. I don’t erase what happened.”
Kardashian then slammed the unoriginal jokes made at her expense onstage.
“Listen, I’m the best sport. I can handle it, but it just wasn’t new. All they do is call the girls whores,” Kardashian lamented. “It was just the same thing. But I thought Nikki Glaser killed it. I really did.”
Although Kardashian didn’t name names, it would seem as if she’s referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made a crude comment about the reality star’s dating record during the event. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because Hinchcliffe captured headlines in October for insulting Puerto Rico at President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden.
Kardashian conceded that there were “so many funny moments” from the evening.
“I’m not going to sit here and literally be the victim — it wasn’t about me. It was fun to be a part of it. I did it and I never have to do it again,” she said.
The Met Gala took place the following night in New York City and cameras were up and rolling.
“Thank God I’m here at the Met because now people can complain about my f***ing corset instead of me getting booed,” Kardashian quipped while getting ready.
It was clear people close to Kardashian were concerned that the jokes went too far. While she was talking to BFF LaLa Anthony, she remarked how “Usher came up to me and he’s like, ‘I felt so bad for you on that roast.'” Anthony said she was “upset.”
“Why do I put myself in these situations to feel shitty?” Kardashian asked Anthony. “It really bothered me too.”
Following the roast, Comedian and Brady-roaster Andrew Schulz talked on his podcast about how Kardashian looked robotic and “completely detached” in the audience. Kardashian gave her final comment on the matter.
“What would you think from someone sitting there hearing horrible things about themselves? Am I supposed to sit there and be like, ‘How innovative, you called me a whore!’ You know? Of course, you’re going to freeze,” Kardashian said. “You’re gonna just f***ing freeze. … If I had gotten up to leave, they would have said, ‘Oh, Kim’s mad, she’s such a bad sport.’ When I’m like, ‘No, I have a flight to catch because I have like the f***ing Met ball and all this other stuff to do.’ But I will never, ever do a roast again.”
