Gisele Bündchen expressed feeling hurt when her ex-husband, Tom Brady, put football before their family once again during his comedy roast. Their marriage had previously been strained due to Bündchen feeling that Brady prioritized his football career over their home life, leading to their divorce in October 2022. The wound was reopened for Bündchen when Brady’s roast, hosted by Kevin Hart, streamed live on Netflix.
During the roast, Brady faced a barrage of jokes about his split from Bündchen but remained composed and laughed at the jokes. However, things took a turn when roast host Jeff Ross made a joke about the massage parlor scandal involving New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Ross joked about a rookie player offering Kraft a massage, referencing the scandal Kraft was involved in. Brady, for the first and only time during the event, approached Ross and asked him not to make that joke again, defending Kraft in the process.
Throughout the roast, jokes were made about the end of Brady’s marriage and Bündchen’s relationship with her jujitsu coach. Brady’s defense of Kraft during the roast while allowing other comics to make jokes about his personal life left Bündchen feeling that he still prioritized the football world over his personal life. Despite this, sources close to the Netflix production indicated that all jokes were made in good fun, and the comedians had agreed not to involve the couple’s children in their jokes. Brady was also unaware of the jokes in advance.
Overall, Bündchen’s hurt was reignited during Brady’s comedy roast when he seemingly prioritized football over his family once again. The jokes about his divorce and personal life stirred up old wounds, especially when Kraft was involved. While Brady defended Kraft during the roast, it left Bündchen feeling like he still cared more about the football world than his personal relationships. Despite the tensions, sources indicated that the jokes were intended to be lighthearted and agreed upon by the comedians, with no malicious intent toward Brady or Bündchen.
