Keeping Up With the Kardashiansrecently ended its record-breaking 20 season run, but the titular family didn’t stay away from the spotlight for long.Streaming giant Hulurecently premieredThe Kardashians, a new reality TV series following the family’s latest exploits. The first episode ofThe Kardashianspremiered on April 14, and it showcased an awkward moment where Kim’s son Saint West discovered something inappropriate inRoblox.
Roblox, for the uninitiated, is a multiplayer creation game where players are able to create their own content and share it with other users.Robloxis massively popular, especially with children, but its online nature has seen it the center of numerous controversies. In this latest incident, aRobloxcreator made an in-game experience that claimed to feature new footage of Kardashian’s 2007 sex tape.

As seen inThe Kardashiansepisode, Saint finds the game and shows it to Kim, who quickly takes the tablet away.Kim Kardashiandiscusses the possibility of legal action, saying, “I have all the time, all the money, and all the resources to burn them all to the f**ing ground.” Kardashian’s threat actually inspired the title of the premiere episode, “Burn Them All to the Fcking Ground.”
Robloxhas since responded to the situation, informing Polygon that the footage never actually existed in the game. TheRobloxexperience in question was removed and the person who made it has been banned. However, it’s unclear if this ban will be effective. After all,RobloxYouTuber Ruben Sim has found their way back on the platformthrough various means despite multiple bans.
This is far from the first controversy thatRobloxhas been a part of, and it’s also not the first time that the Kardashians have been upset about mobile games.Kim Kardashian has criticized mobile game microtransactions(despite the fact thatKim Kardashian: Hollywoodutilizes them), andRobloxhas been at the center of all kinds of problematic situations over the years.
Robloxhas been used to recreate mass shootings, it’s been accused of being unsafe for children, and it’s been sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for music copyright issues. Despite these controversies,Robloxremains incredibly popular, especially with kids, and its Robux virtual currency is even worth more than some real-world currencies at this point. There are signs thatRobloxcould be coming to even more gaming platforms in the near future, so it seems that the game’s popularity isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Robloxis available now for mobile, PC and Xbox One.
