‘LEARNED A LESSON’: Tom Brady says roast including jokes about ex Gisele Bundchen hurt his kids’ feelings

Article content

Tom Brady’s public roasting was more than a year ago but the jokes are still resonating with him.

The retired NFL quarterback revealed that he had a grand old time filming Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time, but his three children were less impressed by the jokes made against him and, more importantly, Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.

“When people make fun of me, I actually love it because it makes me feel like they’re comfortable enough with me to make fun of myself, and they make fun of me, which gives me permission to make fun of them,” Brady told Kevin Hart at Fanatics Fest in New York City, according to People.

“So the answer is: I had a great time.”

He continued: “The only thing that was hard for me was I have kids that, you know, it hurts their feelings … I didn’t think about those things, and I learned a lesson.”

Brady’s shares son Jack, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan, and son Ben, 15, and 12-year-old daughter Vivian with Bundchen.

Given the timing of the special, which came months after the former NFLer and supermodel divorced in 2022, some of the jokes referenced their split.

Hart, who took part in the roast, went after Brady over the divorce and the athlete’s decision to “unretire” and play one final, unsuccessful season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“Gisele gave you an ultimatum. She said you retire or we’re done,” Hart declared in the special.

“When you got a chance to go 8-9 and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.”

Hart also poked fun of Bundchen’s rumoured boyfriend at the time — and now-official boyfriend — Joaquim Valente.

Bundchen announced her pregnancy last October and the couple welcomed their son in February.

The Fox Sports announcer previously spoke about the regrets he had over taking part in the roast — again, noting how it messed with his children.

“I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun,” he told The Pivot podcast shortly after it aired. “I didn’t like the way that it affected my kids.”

He added: “I wouldn’t do that again because of the way it affected actually the people I care about the most in the world.”
