Kim Kardashian is reportedly “rattled” following the cruel booing and Taylor Swift chants she endured at Tom Brady’s roast.
Comedians, athletes and TV personalities came together at the Kia Forum on Sunday to roast the former NFL player.
However, the audience’s reaction when Kim Kardashian entered the stage made the Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady special look kind.

The reality star was greeted with loud, cruel boos as she walked on stage and continued to get heckled throughout the first half of her set.
However, the SKIMS founder continued on and eventually won the crowd over with her witty jokes poking fun at herself and the NFL legend.
An insider told the Daily Mail: “Kim expected some jokes to be sent her way, maybe some backlash because there are always haters, but this was way more than she ever expected.”
“She was thrown off her game and it caught her off guard.”
“She tried to take it in stride because it is a roast, but she didn’t like the boos. It made her upset, but a day or two removed from being in the lion’s den, she is OK with it, but Sunday night was brutal and really rattled her.”
Kim appeared taken aback at the booing and attempting to calm the crowd, she shouted: “Alright, alright, alright.”
After the boos ceased to subside, host Kevin jumped in to control the situation and could be heard off-screen saying: “Woah, woah, woah.”
According to another source at the broadcast, the booing was even worse inside, with some audience members shouting “Aimee” throughout her set.
The name chant was a nod to the Taylor Swift song ThanK you aIMee, which is believed to be about her feud with Kim.
“The number of boos that Kim got was even worse inside the building, the telecast didn’t pick up the brunt of it,” the insider said.
“There were chants of Thank You Aimee. There were people that hated that she was there, and every time someone made fun of her, it was easily one of the most well-received jokes on the night.”
A third insider added: “This was live which made it worse. Unlike the reality show, she cannot edit anything out.”
