A bizarre incident went down at the Netflix is a Joke festival last Sunday, where comedian Kevin Hart took the stage to roast some big names, but ended up getting the boot himself after he went after NFL star Tom Brady.
According to sources, Brady was in attendance at the Kia Forum in L.A. to poke fun at his fellow celebrities. But when Kevin Hart took the stage, things didn’t exactly go according to plan.
In a bizarre attempt to “roast” the NFL legend, Hart allegedly made some off-color remarks about Tom Brady‘s personal life. Insiders claim that Brady’s reaction was calm, but firm, and he eventually got up and walked out of the event in response to Hart’s jokes.
Not one to miss an opportunity, Kevin Hart continued to take shots at the absent Tom Brady, but his jokes quickly fell flat with the audience. Hart’s co-roaster, Chris Rock, allegedly tried to salvage the situation by jumping in and defending his friend, but even that couldn’t save the evening from complete disaster.
Brady’s Team Reacts
Representatives for Brady have refused to comment on the incident, but sources close to the quarterback say that he’s “not bothered” by Hart’s jokes, and that he’s simply moving on from the whole ordeal.
Meanwhile, Hart’s camp is claiming that the whole thing was a setup for a joke that went awry. According to Kevin Hart‘s representatives, the incident was intended to be a “bit” rather than a genuine shot at Brady, but it clearly didn’t land well with the audience or with Brady himself.
The Fate of Hart’s Career
The incident has left many wondering if this is the end of Kevin Hart‘s comedy career. Insiders claim that Hart’s management team is “freaking out” about the backlash, and that he may need to make some serious apologies in order to salvage his reputation.
One thing’s for sure: Sunday’s Netflix is a Joke festival won’t be remembered for Hart’s jokes anytime soon. And who knows – maybe this is the end of an era for the comedian.
