Why Tom Brady’s ruthless Kim Kardashian roast joke even shocked Nikki Glaser

Everybody loves a good joke about the Kardashians — including Nikki Glaser.

After participating in the Tom Brady roast on Netflix Sunday, Glaser, 39, reacted to the brutal diss that Brady, 46, made about Kim Kardashian right to her face at the event.

“I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight. Not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad,” Brady said about Kardashian, 43, who has four children with her controversial ex, Kanye West.

Glaser appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Tuesday and revealed she was pleasantly surprised that Brady went after the famous reality star.

“One of the moments where I went, ‘Oh, we can go there!’ He did a joke about Kim Kardashian, who was there, who I thought was kind of off limits, right?” the comedian said.

“She’s here. She takes enough of a beating. She’s not on the stage, but then he had a joke about, ‘Are you more scared about the jokes or the fact that your kids are with Kanye right now?’ A great joke,” Glaser continued. “And I was like, ‘I didn’t even know we could really go there.’ “

Glaser ruthlessly roasted Brady during her turn on the Netflix special by mocking his divorce from Gisele Bundchen, and more.

“Tom Brady, five-time Super Bowl MVP, most career wins, most career touchdowns, you have seven rings − well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back,” Glaser said.

However, it was Brady’s joke about Kardashian that left the audience, as well as the viewers at home, completely shook.

After the retired NFL star dissed Kardashian’s ex-husband, the SKIMs founder shook her head and awkwardly smiled.

The crowd, meanwhile, gasped and then started clapping.

Kardashian also got booed by the audience when she came on stage to roast Brady earlier in the night.

She looked both mad and uncomfortable as Kevin Hart tried to compose the crowd.

However, that segment has since been removed from the Netflix special.

The streaming service added in a disclaimer that reads, “edited from a previous livestream.” The boos and Hart’s brief response to the crowd have been cut from the new version.

While roasting Brady after she got booed, Kardashian addressed the rumors that the two stars previously dated.

“I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape,” she joked.

Brady and Kardashian were linked in July 2023 after they both attended Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July white party in the Hamptons.

At the time, Page Six reported that the media mogul and the former quarterback “only talked briefly” at the soiree and are only “friends.”
