The latest roast of Kevin Hart turned into one of the most talked-about comedy events of the year, as celebrities and comedians pushed past traditional roast boundaries with brutally personal jokes, unresolved feuds, and controversial references that left audiences laughing, shocked, and at times visibly uncomfortable.

Streaming live on [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) on May 10, the event featured appearances from stars including Tom Brady, Shane Gillis, Chelsea Handler, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Pete Davidson.

Brady opened the night by roasting Hart over his height, movie career, and loyalty to the Philadelphia Eagles before taking things further with jokes referencing Hart’s widely publicized 2017 cheating scandal involving allegations of infidelity during his wife Eniko Hart’s pregnancy. The former NFL star jokingly acknowledged he may have crossed a line by bringing up “affairs in Las Vegas,” drawing loud reactions from the crowd.

The evening also reignited speculation surrounding Hart’s complicated relationship with fellow comedian Katt Williams. While the two appeared friendly during the roast, Williams later suggested the reconciliation was merely for show, leaving fans questioning whether their long-running feud is truly over.

One of the night’s most controversial exchanges involved Gillis and Handler. Gillis targeted Handler with jokes involving Zionism, abortion references, and allegations tied to a past dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s residence that reportedly included Prince Andrew and filmmaker Woody Allen. Handler fired back by revisiting Gillis’s past anti-Asian remarks that led to his dismissal from Saturday Night Live in 2019, although Gillis has since returned to host the show twice.

Meanwhile, Hinchcliffe drew criticism after making a harsh joke about former *The Talk* co-host Sheryl Underwood and her late husband’s suicide, a moment many viewers described as one of the darkest jokes of the night.

Davidson also sparked backlash after joking about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and comparing Hinchcliffe to Kanye West. The joke referenced Davidson’s public history with West following Davidson’s relationship with Kim Kardashian, which led to months of public criticism from the rapper.

Unlike many celebrity roasts that stay rooted in playful insults, this event leaned heavily into real-life scandals, celebrity controversies, and unresolved tensions. Audience reactions ranged from roaring laughter to audible groans, highlighting the increasingly divisive nature of modern roast comedy.

The roast ultimately became less about lighthearted entertainment and more about how far comedians are willing to go when personal history, public scandal, and celebrity conflict become part of the punchline.
