Roblox, a children’s game, made an unflattering appearance at the premiere of Hulu’s reality show The Kardashians. Saint West, Kim Kardashian’s six-year-old son, discovers an ad for a Roblox game while playing on the platform in the April 14 episode. Roblox recently claimed that they have banned the developer behind the game claiming to have Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.
According to Polygon, on Friday, a Roblox spokesperson confirmed the game’s existence but stated that the “referenced video was never available on our platform,” and that the community developer “involved with the incident” has been banned.
“The referenced video was never available on our platform—we have strict moderation and policies to protect our community, including zero tolerance for sexual content of any kind which violates our Community Rules. The text reference to the tape that got around our filters was quickly taken down and fortunately visible only to an extremely small number of people on the platform. We also swiftly took down the associated experience and banned the community developer involved with the incident.”
Saint West ran up to his mother in the episode and shows her the advertisement on his iPad. Kim becomes upset and tells viewers what happened.
“This all started earlier at the barbecue. It was clickbait insinuating that if you click on it, there was gonna be a new sex tape coming out. Had my son been a bit older and been able to read, like, I would’ve been mortified, but I […] died inside.”
Kim Kardashian also called her ex-husband Kanye West in the episode to tell him what happened. “Saint was on Roblox yesterday and a f*cking thing popped up and he started laughing and was like ‘mommy look’ and it was a picture of my cry face,” Kim Kardashian said, through tears. “And it was a game that someone made of Roblox and it said ‘Kim’s New Sex Tape’ when you clicked on it.’”
Despite her frustrations, Kardashian ended the episode on a determined note, “I have all the time, all the money, and all of the resources to burn them all to the f*cking ground.”
The full episode, “Burn Them All to the f*cking ground,” is available to stream on Hulu now. To get the latest updates, keep an eye on Thirsty.
