Tom Brady was the subject of a Netflix roast on Sunday night, featuring guests including Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Bill Belichick, Kim Kardashian, and others. The event, held at the Kia Forum, saw the seven-time Super Bowl winner endure jokes about his divorce from Gisele Bündchen, her new boyfriend Joaquim Valente, and other aspects of his personal and professional life.
Jason Kelce expressed his confusion about Brady’s decision to participate in the roast during an episode of his podcast with brother Travis. While Travis praised Brady for being a “good sport,” Jason admitted he “doesn’t get” why people subject themselves to such events, though he humorously conceded he might consider it for the right price if his wife, Kylie, was excluded.
Gisele Bündchen reportedly felt “disrespected” by the roast, particularly by jokes about her new relationship. Comedian Nikki Glaser defended her humor, emphasizing that it was all part of the roast’s nature. The event also touched on sensitive topics like the Patriots’ Deflategate scandal and Aaron Hernandez, the Patriots player who died by suicide in prison.
During the roast, Brady drew the line at a joke involving New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, telling comedian Jeff Ross not to repeat it. The only subject deemed off-limits was Brady’s children, whom roasters agreed not to target.
At the end of the evening, host Kevin Hart presented Brady with an $40,000 ring from Jason of Beverly Hills as a gesture of admiration. The roast, later edited for Netflix, saw some controversial moments, including boos directed at Kim Kardashian, reportedly from fans of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
