Nikki Glaser is spilling the tea about what led to Kim Kardashian getting booed at Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady earlier this month.
During her appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Glaser said a fellow comedian had initiated the public gesture. However, she wasn’t able to find out who the comedian was. She was just told it was some “wild guy who’s a comedian” with a “reputation for just, like, starting s—.”
“Apparently, he started the boo as just, like, a joke,” Nikki Glaser said about the situation. “He just had too many drinks or something, and he’s not affiliated with Swifties or anything [and] just felt like saying a boo into the air, and apparently everyone was so riled up.”
Nikki Glaser also said that the targeted audience for the Tom Brady roast was “sports fans” who may not follow Kim Kardashian and her family. She clarified the booing had nothing to do with Kim’s rivalry with Taylor Swift.
“It just kinda caught wind, but it wasn’t Swiftie-meditated,” Glaser shared. “I do have that on good information that it was not based on that. Because I was like, this doesn’t feel like a huge Swiftie crowd, but it didn’t feel like that was the vibe in the room.”
Nikki Glaser claimed that the majority of those booing at Kim Kardashian were sports fans who wanted to have a reason to boo. “The guy started it started it as a joke, and it caught on too much. But I was so glad to learn it was not Swiftie-meditated,” she reiterated.
Nikki Glaser Says Taylor Swift’s Fans Are Not the Only People With ‘Beef’ Towards Kim Kardashian
She repeatedly said that the booing at Tom Brady’s roast was not because of Taylor Swift. However, Nikki Glaser did point out the Swifties are not the only people who have beef with Kim Kardashian.
Glaser said that many people believe that Kardashian and her family have “no talent” and are “famous for nothing.”
“I don’t want to hear that anymore that they’re not talented,” Nikki Glaser said about Kim Kardashian and her family. “They clearly are! They’ve achieved something consistently for 20 years now. They’re talented! It just doesn’t look like the talent you define.”
While on stage roasting Brady, Kardashian was loudly booed by the live audience. In an attempt to keep her cool, the reality TV star loudly stated, ‘All right, all right, all right.”
Even the event’s host, Kevin Hart, stepped in to quiet the critics. “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” he said.
Netflix later edited out the scene from the special.
