Kim Kardashian made headlines for getting brutally booed during her appearance at Netflix s Roast of Tom Brady over the weekend but you wouldnt know it unless you got to see the original footage.
The roast of the former quarterback, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, originally aired live on the streaming platform on Sunday.
At one point in the program, Hart introduced Kardashian to the stage. The reality star was met with loud boos when she tried to speak, but you wont find that in the version currently streaming on Netflix.
In the original, unedited version, Kardashian is introduced to a mix of applause and scattered boos. Thank you so much, Kevin, she says. I know a lot of people make fun of your height At this point, the booing and jeering become so loud that they almost drown Kardashian out.
All right, all right, the Skims founder says with a smile, in an attempt to settle the crowd. Off-camera, it sounds like Hart says Whoa, whoa, whoa in response to the boos.
But the edited version skips right over those few seconds of loud booing, and goes straight to Kardashian saying: I know a lot of people make fun of your height, but what people dont know is youre also pretty mean, which makes you the smallest Black dick Ive ever seen.
Watch the original footage captured by Page Six below:
Netflix acknowledged that it took out parts of the original broadcast. The current version on the platform includes a disclaimer that it is edited from a previous livestream.
According to Robbie Praw, the vice president of stand-up and comedy formats at Netflix, Kardashian didnt ask for the boos to be removed.
Post edits are standard practice for comedy specials and happen in live broadcasts, whether thats subtitles, adding things or removing things that we cant do when its streaming live, he told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday. Its part of, quite frankly, the fun of watching it live to not miss those things. But I will just say this, in addition to that, that no talent were consulted as part of that.
Kardashian, for her part, recovered from the boos and got in a few good zings at Brady.
I wasnt gonna come tonight, but since Im not here as Toms date theres still a good chance I might, she quipped.
She also offered a deadpan joke about her own 2007 sex tape scandal.
Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, Kardashian said. And Id never say if we did or not. Id just release the tape.
