KIM KARDASHIAN JOINS THE ROAST
The reality star, known for her polarizing presence, seemed taken aback by the chilly reception from the hometown crowd, according to Daily Mail.
Sporting blonde locks and clutching a Champagne glass, Kardashian attempted to regain control of the room. She quipped, “Alright, alright, alright,” as she faced the jeers.
Host Kevin Hart stepped in, attempting to diffuse the tension with a quick “Whoa, whoa.”
KIM KARDASHIAN’S JOKES
In her roast, Kardashian teased about past rumours of a romance with Brady. She humorously remarked, “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 even referenced her infamous 2007 sex tape, saying, “I’d never say if we did or not – I’d just release a tape.”
However, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe added to the awkwardness with barbs aimed at Kardashian, according to Deadline.
Tony suggested, “Kim, word of advice, close your legs, you have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”

The audience reaction was swift and intense, with social media buzzing about the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Even Brady himself joined in on the roast, poking fun at Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West.
“I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight…not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad,” Brady joked.
This earned both laughs and raised eyebrows, according to The News.
DISCOMFORT IN COMEDY
