During a recent appearance on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, comedian Nikki Glaser addressed the controversy surrounding Kim Kardashian being booed at Tom Brady’s roast. The 39-year-old comic clarified the origins of the incident, dispelling the rumor that Taylor Swift’s fans were behind the unfavorable reaction.
Glaser shared insights into the booing episode, explaining that it was not a targeted attack by fans of Taylor Swift, as some might have speculated. “The guy who started it started it as a joke, and it caught on too much, but I was so glad to learn it was not Swiftie-meditated,” she explained on the podcast. This comment came as a relief to those who thought the incident might have stemmed from long-standing public feuds or fan rivalries.
In fact, Kim was booed by a “wild guy who’s a comedian” with a “reputation for just, like, starting s**t’ pushed the crowd to do it.” She explained, “Apparently, he started the boo as just, like, a joke. He just had too many drinks or something, and he’s not affiliated with Swifties or anything [and] just felt like saying a boo into the air, and apparently everyone was so riled up.”
Nikki, who also performed at the roast, added, “It just kinda caught wind, but it wasn’t Swiftie-meditated. I do have good information that it was not based on that. Because I was like, this doesn’t feel like a huge Swiftie crowd, but it didn’t feel like that was the vibe in the room.”
Instead, Glaser suggested that the booing was more spontaneous and driven by the crowd’s mood at the event. She remarked that the individuals who booed Kardashian were likely “sports fans wanting to have some sort of release to boo.” This paints a picture of a moment driven more by the nature of the event—a roast known for its raucous and unpredictable atmosphere—rather than any premeditated animosity towards Kardashian.
The clarification by Glaser sheds light on the dynamics of celebrity events where emotions can run high, and actions in the audience can sometimes be misinterpreted. Her commentary helps to defuse any narratives suggesting a planned backlash by Swift’s fans, highlighting instead the spontaneous nature of audience reactions in high-energy settings.
This explanation will likely ease tensions among fans and observers who may have been concerned about potential conflicts between fanbases. It underscores the importance of understanding the context of events before jumping to conclusions about the motivations behind public reactions. Glaser’s insight into the incident at Tom Brady’s roast offers a more nuanced view of how celebrity interactions can sometimes unfold in unexpected ways, driven by the spirit of the moment rather than by organized fan actions.
