The children’s platform, Roblox, made an unpleasant appearance in the premier of Hulu’s reality television series, The Kardashians. In the episode, which aired April 14, Kim Kardashian’s six-year-old son, Saint West, finds an ad for a Roblox game while playing on the platform. Kim then says the advertised game claimed to have additional unreleased footage of her 2007 sex tape in it. On Friday, a spokesperson from Roblox confirmed the existence of the game, but noted the “referenced video was never available on our platform,” and banned the community developer “involved with the incident.”

The full statement from the Roblox spokesperson reads:

We also swiftly took down the associated experience and banned the community developer involved with the incident.

In the episode, Saint West runs up to his mom and shows her the advertisement on his iPad. Saint is giggling, but Kim Kardashian becomes distressed and tells viewers more about what happened.
