Tom Brady recently appeared on “The Pivot Podcast” and admitted that his decision to participate in a roast had unintended consequences on his children and loved ones. Brady, who enjoyed the jokes directed at him, revealed that his kids – Benjamin, Jack, and Vivian – were negatively affected by the content of the comedians and former teammates’ roasts. Despite finding humor in the jokes aimed at him, Brady expressed regret over the impact it had on those closest to him and stated that he would not participate in another roast for this reason.
During the roast, one particular topic that was heavily focused on was Brady’s failed marriage to Gisele Bündchen, who was reportedly upset and hurt by some of the jokes made about her. The source reported that she found some of the jokes to be distasteful and disrespectful, particularly those related to her new relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. Soccer star David Beckham even reached out to Brady to check on him after the roast, indicating that he was not alone in feeling that the jokes went too far.
Despite the negative repercussions, Brady reflected on the importance of humor during difficult times, such as the “Deflategate” scandal in 2015-16. He expressed that comedy helped him cope with the situation, leading him to participate in the roast. However, Brady acknowledged that the experience taught him a valuable lesson about the impact of jokes on his family and loved ones. He emphasized the importance of laughter and celebrating others’ success, suggesting that humor can bring people together and provide hope.
Brady concluded that, while he enjoyed the roast overall, he would not want to subject himself to similar scrutiny in the future. He emphasized the need for more laughter and camaraderie, as he believes that humor can uplift spirits and foster positive relationships. Moving forward, Brady expressed his intention to be a better parent and to prioritize his family’s well-being over his own desire for comedic relief. Despite the challenges he faced, Brady remained optimistic about the experience, noting that it provided an opportunity for personal growth and reflection.
In light of the impact on his children and loved ones, Brady made the decision not to participate in another roast in the future. While he appreciated the humor and camaraderie that the event brought, he recognized the need to prioritize the well-being of his family and avoid exposing them to potentially hurtful jokes. Brady’s experience with the roast served as a valuable lesson in balancing personal enjoyment with the potential consequences on those closest to him, ultimately leading him to reconsider his involvement in similar events going forward.
