       Thought Was 'Off Limits'

       Nikki Glaser was surprised by Tom Brady's willingness to go after Kim
       Kardashian during his live Netflix roast.
        
       The event aired live on Sunday night and Kim made a cameo, coming on
       stage to a round of boos. The moment, which Netflix later edited out,
       went viral.
        
       After Kim made several cracks at Tom's expense, he later took to the
       stage and delivered a dig at the reality star, which surprised
       comedian Nikki.
        
       Nikki, who had her own set about Tom during the roast, appeared on
       Tuesday's _Jimmy Kimmel Live_ where she discussed the moment.

       "One of the moments where I went, 'Oh, we can go there!' He did a joke
       about Kim Kardashian, who was there, who I thought was kind of off
       limits, right?" Nikki explained. "She's here. She takes enough of a
       beating. She's not on the stage, but then he had a joke about, 'Are
       you more scared about the jokes or the fact that your kids are with
       Kanye [West] right now?' A great joke. And I was like, 'I didn't even
       know we could really go there.'"
        
       Kim split from ex-husband Kanye West in 2021. They share four kids
       together — North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, almost 5. She
       has been very candid about her concerns surrounding Kanye's various
       scandals impacting their children.
        
       Nikki called the roast an "intimidating thing to walk into,"
       especially as one of the two female comedians on the stage.
        
       She previously spoke on SiriusXM's _The Howard Stern Show_ about the
       kind of joke she skipped telling about Tom due to a joint decision by
       the comedians involved.
        
       "We all collectively decided not to involve his kids too much in
       anything because they didn't ask for this," Nikki said, in reference
       to Tom's three children. "So, I couldn't say, 'Tom, hopefully we make
       out at the after-party -- you can pretend I'm your son.'"
        
       And though Tom's kids weren't discussed, his past relationships with
       ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and ex Bridget Moynahan were considered fair
       game.

       A source previously told ET that "Gisele was upset and hurt by some of
       the jokes about her, her relationship with [boyfriend] Joaquim
       [Valente], and her marriage to Tom during his roast." The source
       added, "Her main concern is always her children and family, and she
       wants to protect them. She found some of the jokes to be distasteful
       and disrespectful."
        
       Nikki spoke with ET ahead of the roast, teasing, "He's going to hear
       his ex-wife's name quite a bit, and he's going to hear what she might
       be up to these days."
