How ‘terrified’ Kim Kardashian reacted to Tom Brady’s brutal joke about Kanye West
If Kanye West isn’t starting the drama, he’s being dragged into it.
The rapper, 46, caught a stray during Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” that Kim Kardashian attended Sunday.
Tom Brady was onstage dissing some of the celebrity presenters when he threw West and his parenting skills under the bus.
“I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight,” Brady, 46, said about Kardashian, 43. “Not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad.”
The camera showed Kim shaking her head and smiling after the joke was made.
The rest of the audience, meanwhile, gasped and then started clapping.
Earlier in the night, Kardashian was briefly booed by the crowd when she got onstage to roast Brady. She also addressed rumors that she and Brady dated in the past.
“Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape,” she joked.
Kardashian and West, meanwhile, have four children: North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 4.
The exes were married from 2014 to 2022. Their split turned nasty due to West’s public outbursts in 2020, where he divulged deeply personal details about his family.
During an interview on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast in December 2022, Kardashian started crying as she admitted that co-parenting with West is “really f—ing hard.”
The “American Horror Story” actress also explained that she tries to protect her kids from the headlines about their controversial father.
“If they don’t know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them?” she said. “That is real, heavy, grownup s–t that they are not ready to deal with. When they are, we will have those conversations.
“One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad,” the reality star added.
Kardashian told Vogue after the exes split that she is West’s “biggest cheerleader” in front of their children.
“You could be so hurt or angry at your ex, but I think in front of the kids, it always has to be ‘Your dad’s the best,’ ” she said in the February 2022 interview. “Make sure you are your co-parent’s biggest cheerleader, no matter what you’re personally going through.”
Kardashian dated comedian Pete Davidson for nine months after ending her marriage to West. She was most recently linked to NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.
West, meanwhile, married Australian model Bianca Censori, 29, in December 2022.
It’s unclear when the couple began dating, but Censori joined West’s Yeezy organization in November 2020, and nearly two years later the “Praise God” rapper released a song titled “Censori Overload” in a nod to his new partner.
It’s been pointed out online that Censori sometimes dresses like Kardashian.
