Kim Kardashian is no stranger to public scrutiny, but even she seemed taken aback by the brutal reception she received at Tom Brady’s roast.
The reality star-turned-business mogul was met with boos and harsh insults, including being called a “whore” and “robotic,” as she took the stage. Now, insiders are revealing how she really felt about the humiliating moment.
The roast, meant to be a lighthearted yet savage event celebrating Tom Brady’s career, quickly turned into a rough night for Kardashian.
As she took the mic, the crowd erupted in boos—something rarely seen in her high-profile appearances. The heckling didn’t stop there.
Several jokes from comedians and fellow celebrities took direct aim at her past relationships, s-x tape controversy, and even her business empire. At one point, audience members could be heard shouting slurs like “whore” and “robotic,” mocking both her dating history and her often-perceived emotionless demeanor.
While Kardashian is used to being the center of attention, this level of public hostility seemed to catch her off guard. Sources close to her say she was stunned by the negativity, though she tried to maintain her composure.
“She wasn’t expecting that level of disrespect,” an insider revealed. “Kim has thick skin, but even she was shocked at how harsh the crowd was.”
While Kardashian played it cool on stage, those close to her say she was deeply hurt by the experience. After her segment, she reportedly retreated backstage, where she confided in her team about how blindsided she felt.
“She kept asking, ‘Why did they turn on me like that?’” a source shared. “She thought the audience would at least respect her, even if they didn’t love her.”
Despite years of media scrutiny, Kardashian has worked hard to rebrand herself as a successful businesswoman, lawyer-in-training, and mother.
However, the roast served as a harsh reminder that, for some, she will always be defined by her past.
“She left the event feeling defeated,” another source added. “Kim can take a joke, but that felt more like an attack than comedy.”
As the clips from the event went viral, social media exploded with debates over whether Kardashian deserved the treatment she received. Some fans felt it was uncalled for, arguing that she had every right to be there and should not have been singled out so aggressively.
“She’s literally a billionaire who built an empire. Why are people still stuck on her past?” one Twitter user wrote.
Others, however, believed Kardashian walked into the situation knowing what to expect.
“It’s a roast. What did she think was going to happen? It’s all about tearing people apart,” another user commented.
The backlash wasn’t just from fans—some celebrities also weighed in. A few even called out the audience’s behavior, stating that there’s a difference between roasting and outright disrespect.
“Kim took it like a champ, but those boos were excessive,” one Hollywood insider noted. “People love to hate her, but at what point do we acknowledge that she’s more than just her past?”
Despite the brutal night, Kardashian isn’t one to dwell on negativity for long. Insiders say she’s already shifting her focus back to her businesses and legal advocacy work, determined not to let the incident define her.
“She’s upset, but she won’t let this shake her confidence,” a source confirmed. “Kim has been through worse. She’ll turn this into motivation, like she always does.”
Whether the incident will change her approach to public events remains to be seen. Some speculate she may be more selective about the types of appearances she makes in the future, while others believe she might address the controversy head-on in a future interview.
One thing is clear: Kim Kardashian is not easily broken. While the night may have been a tough one, she has built an empire on resilience, and this latest public humiliation is just another challenge she’ll rise above.
