Tom Brady might be sweating after his roast on Netflix on Sunday, but it might not be from the jokes made at his expense. Not only was his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan reportedly upset about the live event, but it seems that the former NFL star’s ex-wife also didn’t enjoy the TV special.
The 43-year-old supermodel was “deeply disappointed” that their marriage was heavily covered during the comedic show, according to People. Bündchen felt that it was a “disrespectful portrayal of her family” and her “priority is to support her children who were affected by the irresponsible content that was broadcasted.” Anyone who has ever watched a roast knows that it’s an evening of insults hurled at the honoree, but also at anyone in the guest’s orbit — which means that the fashion icon and Moynahan were prime targets.
Host Kevin Hart teased Brady about Bündchen leaving him for jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and comedian Nikki Glaser had the most piercing jokes of the night. “You have seven rings,” Glaser quipped, referencing Brady’s Super Bowl wins. “Well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back.” A roast is done all in the name of comedy, but it might have been the wrong timing for Brady. He’s less than two years out from his divorce from Bündchen, plus his three children, son Jack, 16, with Moynahan, and son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10, with the supermodel, are still young. They won’t have the same perception of the jokes as an adult.
There might have been a lack of consideration on Brady’s part considering that he stood up for New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft after comedian Jeffrey Ross made a massage parlor joke, but he didn’t offer the same courtesy to his exes. It reminds us of Bündchen’s 2022 ELLE interview, ahead of their divorce, where she expressed her frustrations of the football star prioritizing his career over their family.
“I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom]. I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams,” she told the magazine. “I have a huge list of things that I have to do, that I want to do. At 42, I feel more connected with my purpose.” That one quote gives fans a small glimpse into their union and why it didn’t work, and that same issue was also on display on Sunday night for the entire world to see.
