When things get dicey, the Kardashian-Jenner family's go-to PR strategy is to remain silent. Don't dignify rumors with comments. Don't offer a defense for bad behavior. Yes, there are exceptions when they clap back. But generally, Kim Kardashian and her siblings let the haters hate and avoid weighing in on the endless commentary.

Recently, however, the Skims founder finally addressed the Tom Brady dating rumors. Kim was among the celebrities, athletes, and comedians to roast the retired NFL quarterback during Netflix's The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady on May 5. And Brady even shot back a zinger of his own.
Kim was booed as she took the stage.
On Sunday, May 5, Kim took the stage at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, to take her turn roasting Tom. The reality star began with a joke about host Kevin Hart's height. However, she was interrupted by the loud boos of the crowd, perhaps partially as a result of Taylor Swift's recent diss track about her.
After that, she led with a dirty joke about Tom.
After the boos died down, Kim started her Tom roast with a sexual joke about the GOAT. "I'm really here tonight for Tom," the mom of four said. "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."
Kim then addressed the Tom Brady dating rumors.
Next, Kim cracked a joke about her notorious sex tape scandal in 2007. "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," she said before pausing for a beat. "I'd just release the tape."
She squeezed in a joke about Caitlyn Jenner.
No Kim K stand-up routine is complete without a dig at her mother Kris Jenner's former spouse, Caitlyn Jenner. "I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair, you remind me too much of my stepdad now," Kim cracked. "Part of me thinks you would want to undress me, just to try on my clothes."
Of course, Kim referenced her dad and O.J. Simpson.
Wrapping up her portion of the Tom Brady roast, Kim brought up her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who famously worked as O.J. Simpson's attorney during his 1994 murder trial. "Honestly, it's hard for me to watch people roast you," she said to Tom. "But I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players."
Tom also had a zinger of his own for Kim.
When Tom finally took the stage to do some roasting of his own, the seven-time Super Bowl champ directly addressed Kim. "I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight," he said to the crowd. "Not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad."
