Netflix Denies Kevin Hart Asked To Cut Boos For Kim Kardashian In Tom Brady Roast
Kim Kardashian received boos when she took the stage at "The Roast of Tom Brady," but it got cut when the show streamed, and Kevin Hart had nothing to do with it, according to the streaming giant.
Kardashian was among the celebrities who joined the stage to roast Brady, and there were noticeable boos directed at her during the live program, but they got removed when the show hit the streaming service. Rumors quickly swirled that Hart probably asked Netflix to cut the boos because he was friends with the "Kardashians" star, but the streaming platform denied it.
"No talent was involved in post-production edits," Netflix's spokesperson told Page Six.
Kardashian took the stage at the Kia Forum in L.A. on Sunday after Hart called her to make a toast.
"I know a lot of people make fun of your height," the Skim founder began her set.
However, she wasn't able to finish her line because the crowd erupted in boos. "Whoa, whoa, whoa," Hart said in her defense.

During Kardashian's speech, she poked fun at the dating rumors involving her and the former NFL superstar.
"I wasn't going to come tonight," she quipped, "but since I'm not here as Tom's date, there's still a good chance I might."
"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 added, joking about her 2007 sex tape.
Kardashian reportedly needed to catch a flight from Los Angeles to New York for the Met Gala. However, she stayed until the end of the program.
"She was happy to be there and support," a source said.
Meanwhile, David Portnoy, the founder and owner of sports and popular culture company Barstool Sports, made fun of Kardashian after she got booed. He also criticized the reality star for reading the teleprompter like a "robot."
"Kardashian got booed like Goodell after the Pats won the Superbowl. Kevin Hart had to legit tell people to stop. I f*****g love it. She also sucked and read the teleprompter like a robot," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
An unnamed source told Page Six in a separate report that those who booed Kardashian were sports fans who were also fans of Portnoy.
"[Kardashian] gets an obsessive amount of hate online from 'bro' culture, so her team always knew there'd be a chance they'd be disruptive [at an event honoring an athlete]," the source said. "She took it all with grace."
Portnoy has been open about his disdain for Kardashian. When he heard the rumors that Brady and Kardashian were dating, he trashed the celebrity mom of four.
"It makes me want to puke," said Portnoy. "Tom Brady can't date Kim Kardashian. Listen, she's hot, she's a bazillionaire, but she's a paparazzi girl,... she f**ked on camera... she ruins every man's life she touches. She's a Daily News, a Page Six, a reality TV girl."
Interestingly, Portnoy also reacted to the report crediting him for the boos that Kardashian received on X.
"Holy s**t! I'm getting credit for the Kardashian boos? Ego fully back to a hundred million trillion!!!!!!" he wrote.
