Kim Kardashian is still reeling from the negative reception she received at The Roast of Tom Brady. The 43-year-old reality TV star confessed her fear of being booed during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she received a warm welcome from the audience.
“It’s my biggest fear to get booed, so this welcome is, like, so so good!” Kardashian exclaimed, relieved by the positive response.
Host Jimmy Fallon reassured her, saying, “Never! They love you. Come on! We’re New York City, we love ya.”
Kardashian’s remarks were a nod to her guest appearance on The Roast of Tom Brady, where she was met with loud boos from the audience when she attempted to speak. The incident was awkward, to say the least, with Kevin Hart intervening to calm the crowd.

Kardashian ultimately got her chance to tell jokes at the roast, making light of the rumors that she dated Brady, 46, in the spring of 2023. “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 quipped.
She also made a tongue-in-cheek reference to her 2007 sex tape, saying, “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.”

Kardashian went on to joke about why she believed she and Brady would never make it as a couple, likening him to her former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, who transitioned in 2015. “But I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, slinky hair — you remind me too much of my stepdad now.”
Later in the show, Brady threw shade back at Kim, saying, “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight. Not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad.”
