A Celebrity Roast Marked by Controversy
The American television tradition of the roast, where celebrities willingly allow comedians to ridicule aspects of their personal and professional lives, has recently added a new name to its roster. NFL star Tom Brady, known for his impressive career and high-profile personal life, was the latest to take center stage. His roast was led by renowned comedians Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross.
The Brady-Bündchen Love Story
First spotted together in 2006, Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen soon became one of the entertainment world’s most talked-about couples. They announced their engagement in a short span of time and were married in 2009. However, 2022 saw the end of their 13-year marriage, reportedly due to Brady’s relentless focus on his career.
It was inevitable that this part of Brady’s life would be part of the roast. Not surprisingly, the roasters made light of the underlying issues in Brady and Bündchen’s marriage amid jokes about various controversies surrounding Brady’s career.
Highlights of the Brady Roast
The roast, titled The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, aired on Netflix and was hosted in Inglewood, California. Notable participants included Julian Edelman, Kim Kardashian, Rob Gronkowski, Nikki Glaser, Drew Bledsoe, and Randy Moss, alongside Hart and Ross.
A significant moment occurred when Ross referenced the scandal involving New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. When Brady objected to Ross’s joke, it highlighted the dynamics at play. However, when his failed marriage with Bündchen was made a target, Brady seemed less bothered. A quip from Brady himself saying he missed ‘the love of his life…football’ further ignited the controversy.
Bündchen’s Reaction to the Roast
People magazine cited a source saying that Bündchen felt deeply disrespected by the portrayal of their family. Public reports also suggest that she viewed Brady’s reaction at the roast as further evidence of his career taking precedence over their relationship. Currently, Bündchen is focusing on supporting their children.
Following their separation, Brady and Bündchen continue to co-parent their children, Benjamin and Vivian. Additionally, Brady has another son, John “Jack” Edward, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
