Kim Kardashian Reflects on Controversial Roast Experience

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Kim Kardashian is still grappling with the fallout from her appearance at a recent celebrity roast. Following Thursday’s (Feb. 6) broadcast of the event on a popular streaming platform, a preview of next week’s episode shows Kardashian expressing her discomfort with the experience, declaring, “I will never, ever do a roast again.”

In a clip shared from the upcoming episode, Kardashian is seen reacting to a friend’s comment, saying, “This is so fucked up,” to which she replies, “It’s just like, the easiest joke, they would have said it about anyone.” During a confessional segment, she elaborates, “Am I supposed to sit there and be like, ‘How innovative! You called me a whore?’”

The roast, which aired as part of a May 2024 special, featured jokes that clearly targeted Kardashian, including one that said, “She’s had a lot of Black men celebrating her end-zone. Kim, word of advice: Close your legs. You have more public beef than [redacted].” Despite the backlash, Kardashian did not identify herself as the target of the jokes during the event.

In a preview for Season 6 of the series, Kardashian addresses the audience’s negative reaction, stating, “I could’ve never imagined that I would be booed.” The special, which was released on the streamer following its initial livestream on Netflix, sparked widespread discussion about the boundaries of comedy and public figures.

A producer in the Season 6 teaser brings up the narrative that Kardashian “asked them to remove all the booing,” a claim she begins to address before the clip cuts away. Kardashian previously opened up about her fears during an August 2024 appearance on a talk show, admitting that public embarrassment is her “biggest fear in life.”
