Nikki Glaser reveals who booed Kim Kardashian first at Tom Brady's roast, trolls say 'it’s what she deserves' anyway
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nikki Glaser, fresh from her appearance on Netflix's 'The Greatest Roast of All Time', has stepped forward to shed light on the controversy surrounding Kim Kardashian's booing incident at Tom Brady's roast, as reported by E News.
While the jeers were initially attributed to Taylor Swift fans in the audience responding to Kim's ongoing feud with the singer, it has emerged that a single individual, known for stirring trouble, was responsible.
Why Kim Kardashian was booed at Tom Brady's roast
According to Glaser, the booing originated from a lone individual—a "wild guy" within the comedy scene—who impulsively initiated the jeer, likely fueled by alcohol. Dispelling the notion of Swiftie involvement, Glaser asserted that the booing was not orchestrated by Taylor Swift fans but rather by sports enthusiasts seeking a release.
"Apparently, he started the boo as just like a joke," she explained on the May 21 episode of Dear Media's 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast.
"He probably had too many drinks or something. He's not affiliated with Swifties or anything—just felt like saying a boo into the air," she added.
Nikki described the man only as a "wild guy" in the comedy scene. "It just kinda caught wind, but it wasn't Swiftie-meditated. I do have that on good information that it was not based on that."
The star of 'Welcome Home Nikki Glaser' suggested that the audience likely joined in because many of them were "sports fans looking for some outlet to boo." Regarding the heckling, she remarked, "It just gained momentum too quickly."
There won't be a replay of that moment, though. Netflix edited out the boos after the live taping, with the final version of the special transitioning from Kim's introduction straight to her first joke.

Netflix's decision to edit out the booing from the finalized version of the special was met with understanding from the public. Robbie Praw, Netflix's vice president of stand-up and comedy formats, explained that post-production edits are standard practice and contribute to the dynamic experience of watching live events.
"Post edits are standard practice for comedy specials and happen in live broadcasts whether that's subtitles, adding things or removing things that we can't do when it's streaming live," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
"It's part of, quite frankly, the fun of watching it live to not miss those things," Praw added.
While the focus of the roast shifted away from the booing, Tom Brady expressed discomfort with certain jokes about his high-profile divorce from Gisele Bundchen, particularly their impact on his children.
Reflecting on the roast, Brady acknowledged, "I loved when the jokes were about me," Tom said on the May 14 episode of 'The Pivot Podcast'. "I didn't like the way that it affected my kids."
"I'm gonna be a better parent as I go forward because of it," he continued. "If we're not laughing about things, we're crying. And I think we should have more fun."
