“Saturday Night Live” is known for drawing big, international celebrities into its humor universe.
Every Saturday, a famous face hosts the program, and people like businessman Elon Musk (50), actor Tom Hanks (65) and former president Donald Trump (75) have been watching the show.
This time it was none other than reality star Kim Kardashian West (40) who took on the role of host. The show often revolves around the evening’s star, and she appeared in several of the program’s sketches.
The 40-year-old also did not skimp on gunpowder, and made fun of almost all family members, in addition to himself. Among other things, she joked about the sex video she first became known for.
– I have not had a film premiere in a long time. I mean, I only played in one movie that came out, and then no one even told me it premiered, she said in the opening monologue.

Joking about the stabbings
Although Kardashian’s performance is applauded by many, not everyone is equally impressed. She is known to be the daughter of one of athlete OJ Simpsons defenders, the late lawyer Robert Kardashian. She also touches on this at the start of the program.
It was through him that I met my first black man. Do you want to take a “staff in the dark” on who it was? I know it’s weird to remember the first black man you saw, but OJ leaves a mark. Or more. Or not at all. I still do not know, she says, with clear reference to the fact that his ex-wife and her friend were stabbed several times.

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found killed on June 12, 1994. She was stabbed seven times and nearly beheaded. Ex-husband OJ Simpson quickly became the main police suspect, and then tried to run away from the police.
In the trial, however, he was acquitted. To this day, people still believe that he committed the killings, as several pieces of evidence pointed to him. Nor has an alternative perpetrator been presented by the police.
Life was turned upside down when the mother was killed
– Inappropriate and insensitive
The brutal murder case was thus joked by Kardashian, and given that it is far back in time, and that the ceiling height on SNL is high, she is probably forgiven by most.

But Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister, Tanya Brown, does not think the joke was inside at all, calling it “tasteless” to the celebrity website TMZ.
– The jokes were very inappropriate and insensitive, she says.

Brown questions whether Kardashian cared about Nicole at all, even though her mother Kris Jenner (65) was a close friend of hers. She also responds that Kardashian accepted the script, which she assumes writers at the program stand for.
Others have also reacted to the jokes.
Tried to get OJ Simpson to “confess” to murder with a hidden camera
“Can the press that praised Kim Kardashian’s SNL monologue, which ridiculed Nicole Brown’s repeated violence from OJ Simpson and her cruel and violent death (she joked about both), take a break and publish photos of Nicole’s injuries. It’s not fucking funny “, writes author Don Winslow on Twitter.
There are mixed reactions from those who have commented on the post. Some believe that the criticism is in place, while others point out that Kardashian would not have been known had it not been for the trial.
