Kim Kardashian was blindsided by the ‘brutal’ reception she received while roasting Tom Brady live on Netflix, with the reality star left upset at the sheer number of boos, insiders have claimed.

Kim, 43, was skewered by the audience as she took to the podium at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Sunday night, to roast the NFL champ for The Greatest Roast of All Time, which was broadcast live on the streaming platform on Sunday night.

Kim attempted to crack a joke about host Kevin Hart‘s height as she addressed the audience with a glass of champagne in hand, but she was booed heavily, with the comedian appearing to step in to help ease the tension.

‘Kim expected some jokes to be sent her way, maybe some backlash because there are always haters, but this was way more than she ever expected,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She was thrown off her game and it caught her off guard.

She tried to take it in stride because it is a roast, but she didn’t like the boos. It made her upset, but a day or two removed from being in the lions den, she is OK with it, but Sunday night was brutal and really rattled her.’

Her frosty reception came seconds after she took to the stage while launching into a joke, telling Kevin: ‘I know a lot of people make fun of your height.’

Kim appeared to double take at the reaction before attempting to claw back the crowd, shouting: ‘Alright, alright, alright.’

With the boos unrelenting, Kevin appeared to jump in to damage control the situation and could be heard off screen saying: ‘Woah, woah, woah.’

According to another source at the telecast, the booing was even more vigorous inside, with some audience members shouting ‘Aimee’ throughout her set in a nod to the Taylor Swift song ThanK you aIMee, which is believed to be about her feud with Kim.

‘The number of boos that Kim got was even worse inside the building, the telecast didn’t pick up the brunt of it,’ the insider said.

‘There were chants of Thank You Aimee. There were people that hated that she was there, and every time someone made fun of her, it was easily one of the most well-received jokes on the night.’

A third insider added: ‘This was live which made it worse. Unlike the reality show, she cannot edit anything out.’

Videos from inside the venue were shared on TikTok, while viewers were quick to voice their reactions online.

‘Kim Kardashian getting booed at the Tom Brady Roast is incredible,’ wrote on user.

Another said: ‘THEY JUST BOOED KIM KARDASHIAN BEFORE SHE EVEN SAID A WORD LMFAO.’

A third commented: ‘Bill Belichick gets a standing ovation and Kim Kardashian gets booed. The Tom Brady roast is the best thing Netflix has ever produced.’

Another source close to Kim insisted that ‘she wasn’t allowing herself to be fazed.’

Despite the heckles, Kim, who appeared to shrug off the reaction at Monday night’s Met Gala, was also applauded for her ‘funny’ speech which saw her allude to rumors she had enjoyed a romance with Tom.

‘I’m really here tonight for Tom,’ she said. ‘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.’

Kim, who was recently linked to NFL player Odell Beckham Jr, referenced her 2007 sex tape with Ray-J as she continued: ‘I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not – I’d just release a tape.’

She also included a reference to Caitlyn Jenner, who used to be married to her mother Kris Jenner.

‘I do know it would’ve never worked out,’ Kim said. ‘An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair … you remind me too much of my stepdad now.’

She added: ‘Part of me thinks you would want to entrust me just to try on my clothes. I know the transition from the NFL must’ve been really hard, but I think my stepdad is a great example for you.

Kim made a reference to her late father Robert Kardashian’s work on the late O.J. Simpson’s ‘Dream Team’ of attorneys, to wrap up her set.

‘Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you,’ she said. ‘But I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players.

‘So I’m just here tonight to support you and celebrate you – I’ll give you the same advice I give all of my exes, good luck knowing the best is behind you… cheers, everyone, to Tom Brady!’

As well as roasting Tom, she also found herself the butt of jokes by other comedians, including Tony Hinchcliffe, who advised her to ‘close your legs.’

Tony, 39, made reference to Will Ferrell’s cameo as Ron Burgundy at the comedy show, who in the 2004 film Anchorman said: ‘Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means ‘a whale’s vagina’.’

Tony said: ‘A whales vagina, which reminds me. Kim Kardashian’s here she’s had a lot of black men celebrating her end zone.

‘Kim word of advice: close your legs you have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.’

Tom also joined in on the roasting during his response, making a dig at Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West and her four children.

‘I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight,’ he said. ‘Not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad.’

Kim – who shares daughters North, 10, and Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, four, with the rapper – was seen shaking her head at the comment and struggling to smile as the audience erupted in cheer around her.
