Netflix forced to edit out Kim Kardashian getting savagely booed in Tom Brady roast
Netflix have edited out Kim Kardashian getting savagely booed during the Tom Brady roast.
The reality TV star was one of the celebrities in attendance for the comedy special, where they roasted the NFL legend.
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady was hosted by Kevin Hart and also featured appearances from the ‘roastmaster general’ Jeff Ross, Ben Affleck, Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy.
Also in the audience were the likes of Jimmy Carr, Chelsea Handler and Seth Green.

But before Kardashian even started her routine to roast Brady, the crowd booed her as she took to the stage with their applause seeming to turn into some real hostility.
The 43-year-old thanked Hart as she took to the podium and made a quick quip about his height. As the audience’s cheers turned to boos, she said: “Alright, alright, alright.”
Netflix’s special was aired live on the streaming site as part of the 'Netflix Is A Joke' Fest in Los Angeles, with the streaming giant saying: “This is the first ever roast that will be telecast live, unedited.”
And in that original live stream, it reportedly featured the crowd booing for over 10 seconds after Hart introduced Kardashian.
“I know a lot of people make fun of your height…” she began before the boos came and both she and the host attempted to calm down the crowd.
But in the edited version now on Netflix following the live stream, the business mogul takes the stage and thanks Hart for introducing her before it cuts to a wide shot where she starts her bit.
According to The Independent, there is a disclaimer that claims the show was 'edited from a previous livestream'.
Of course, most of Kardashian’s jokes were focused on Brady – who she was previously rumoured to be dating.
She said: “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.”
The star went on to liken the sports star’s appearance to her stepdad, Caitlyn Jenner.
Kardashian joked about a relationship with Brady, saying: “I do know it would’ve never worked out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair. … You remind me too much of my stepdad now.”
Some users on X said Netflix were right to edit out the booing as it ‘was so nasty and disrespectful’, whereas others said it was ‘too little too late, everybody’s seen it’.
LADbible has contacted Netflix for comment.
