Antonio Brown didn’t shy away from expressing his reaction to Kevin Hart’s use of his name to roast Tom Brady during the quarterback’s Netflix special on Sunday.
In “The Roast of Tom Brady,” Hart quipped about Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, jokingly suggesting she was attending the event as Brown’s guest.
“Gisele is actually here supporting you tonight, but just full transparency – she came as Antonio Brown’s plus 1,” Hart quipped, prompting a reaction from the audience and a somewhat awkward smile from Brady.
Shortly after, Brown shared a video clip of the moment on social media, captioning it with, “‘In the crowd as Giselle’s +1’ ?.”
Brady and Bundchen’s 16-year marriage came to an end in 2022, following a tumultuous period that saw Brady un-retire and return to the NFL, sparking rumors about their relationship. Despite the challenges, Bundchen expressed gratitude for their time together and wished Brady well in a statement following their divorce.
Brown, who briefly played alongside Brady in New England and Tampa Bay, was instrumental in the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory in 2021. However, his NFL career was marred by numerous controversies, including allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Following his departure from Tampa Bay in 2021, Brown’s football journey took unexpected turns, including a brief stint with the Albany Empire before ultimately announcing his retirement in April 2024.
