It seems Kim Kardashian might still be a bit shell-shocked after getting brutally booed at Tom Brady’s roast earlier this year.
While stopping by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, the reality star appeared surprised to be greeted by a heckler-free crowd.
“It’s my biggest fear in life to get booed, so this welcome is, like, so so good!” Kardashian explained to Fallon as she reacted to the audience cheering her on.
The star’s shocked response prompted an encouraging reply from Fallon. “Never! They love you. Come on! We’re New York City, we love you,” he told Kardashian.
In May, the Skims mogul came face-to-face with her fear after being publicly mocked by a star-studded crowd at Brady’s Netflix roast.
Kardashian was invited as a special guest to take digs at Brady during the May 5 live-streamed “The Roast of Tom Brady” event, but it quickly turned into a roast of her.
After host Kevin Hart introduced the mom-of-four to the stage, the audience’s cheers almost immediately turned into boos, prompting Kardashian to tell the crowd, “All right, all right, all right.”
To seemingly settle down the audience, someone off-camera could be heard saying, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”
Netflix ultimately edited out the boos on its service after the live taping. The final version cuts straight from the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum’s introduction to her first joke.
Comedian Nikki Glaser, who also participated in the special, said on Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds’ “We’re Here to Help” podcast that Kardashian called the roast “abuse” after reaching out to her on Instagram following the embarrassing moment.
“She said, ‘You killed it on the roast,’ pretty much,” Glaser said of Kardashian’s alleged DM to her during the May 13 episode. “I wrote back, ‘Kim, oh, my God. I was trying to make eye contact with you every chance I could to mouth to you. You fucking killed, girl.’”
Glaser then claimed “The Kardashians” leading lady replied, “Aww, thanks! And you killed it. I don’t know how you do this — it’s abuse, lol.”
