Nikki Glaser and Kim Kardashian have indeed connected through Instagram direct messages. During an episode of the “Here to Help” podcast on Monday, May 13, Glaser, 39, revealed that Kardashian, 43, reached out to her after the Tom Brady roast on Netflix.
The recent special showcased Glaser and Kardashian, among other notable figures, delivering humorous speeches.
“She said you killed it on the roast,” Glaser recounted on the podcast, adding that she responded to Kardashian’s message by effusively giving her a thumbs up right back.
She continued:
“I wrote back, ‘Kim, OMG, I was trying to make eye contact with you every chance I could to mouth to you, ‘You f—king killed it, girl,’ which was no surprise after yourSNL monologue, which was elite. You are so talented. Thank you so much for writing to me.’”
The lovefest continued when Kardashian replied,
“Aww thanks, and you killed it, I don’t know how you do this; it’s abuse, lol.”
Glaser had previously defended Kardashian during the roast, as the reality star faced her own share of teasing.
Kardashian was met with boos as she took the stage, and even Brady, 46, didn’t hold back, using his speech to poke fun at Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West.
“I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight,” the former NFL player said. “Not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad.”
After the roast, Glaser challenged a joke made about Kardashian while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Reflecting on the event, Glaser expressed surprise at the direction some jokes took, particularly one aimed at Kardashian. Glaser believed Kardashian was off-limits for jokes since she wasn’t onstage and already faced scrutiny elsewhere.
“I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might,” Kardashian quipped.
She continued by making fun of her infamous 2007 sex tape:
“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.”
Despite facing a chilly reception during her stage appearance, Kardashian’s moment was salvaged in the Netflix version of the roast.
A note displayed at the bottom of the screen clarifies that the footage is edited from a previous livestream, with the booing removed.
