Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the spotlight, but recently, she’s been facing a wave of criticism that has many wondering if she’s in her “flop era.” From her cringeworthy appearance at Tom Brady’s comedy roast to a less-than-impressive Met Gala look, it seems that Kim’s attempts to stay in the limelight might not be working in her favor. Let’s break down what happened.

The Tom Brady Comedy Roast Disaster

Kim Kardashian was among the celebrities invited to roast Tom Brady for a Netflix special, but her performance didn’t go as planned. As soon as Kim stepped on stage, she was greeted with loud boos from the audience. It was an uncomfortable moment that everyone watching at home saw, as the live taping was unedited. Kim tried to push through the awkwardness, saying, “I know a lot of people make fun of your height,” but the crowd’s negative response kept growing.

Despite her efforts to power through the moment, Kim ended up saying, “Alright, alright, alright,” trying to regain some control over the situation. It was a cringe-worthy attempt, and many felt it was a sign that her comedic chops weren’t quite up to par for this kind of roast.

Netflix later edited the footage, cutting out the loud boos to protect her image. While they did include a disclaimer about the edits, the moment still caused a stir online. Some fans speculated that Kris Jenner, known for managing the family’s public image, may have pushed for the edit to protect Kim from more embarrassment.

Kim’s jokes, including a cheeky reference to her infamous sex tape with Ray J and her “relationship” rumors with Tom Brady, didn’t land as well as expected. Her attempt at humor about her father, Robert Kardashian, defending former football players like O.J. Simpson, felt forced and awkward.

The Met Gala Wardrobe Malfunction

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala look this year also had people talking, but for all the wrong reasons. Known for her bold, eye-catching outfits, Kim’s appearance this year was a disappointment for many fashion critics. Kim wore a tight corset that caused a stir on social media, with many commenting that it was so tight she could barely breathe. Some fans even claimed that her lips appeared blue, hinting at how uncomfortable she must have been in the outfit.

The controversy wasn’t just about the corset—Kim’s choice of a gray shawl draped over her shoulders was widely mocked. People on social media compared it to something a “kindergarten teacher” might wear, and the shawl seemed to clash with the otherwise sleek and stylish look. Many fans speculated that the shawl was a last-minute fix for a wardrobe malfunction, with some even suggesting it was meant to hide imperfections in the dress.

Kim, in true Kardashian fashion, defended her look, explaining in an interview that she was “running out of time” and grabbed her boyfriend’s sweater as a quick solution. But the damage was done. The internet had already made up its mind about her outfit, and the commentary wasn’t flattering.

Is Kim Kardashian in Her “Flop Era”?

With both the failed roast and the Met Gala backlash, it’s easy to see why many are questioning whether Kim Kardashian is in her “flop era.” While she’s built an empire on being in the spotlight, it seems that her recent attempts to remain relevant may not be paying off.

The Kardashian family, once a dominant force in pop culture, seems to be facing their own challenges. Kim’s younger sister, Kendall Jenner, has faded into the background, and Kylie Jenner’s public interest has waned following her breakup rumors. Kim has always been the center of the Kardashian universe, but if she’s struggling, what does that mean for the family brand?

Though Kim Kardashian has faced criticism before and bounced back stronger, her recent public failures suggest that the Kardashian empire might be on shaky ground. Whether it’s the failed comedy roast or the questionable Met Gala look, Kim is no longer the surefire celebrity that dominates headlines.
