Tom Brady found himself needing to make amends with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen following his Netflix roast.
According to a source speaking with Us Weekly, Bündchen was particularly upset by the jokes made about her and her current relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente during the event.
The couple had previously agreed not to make disparaging remarks about each other publicly, and Bündchen believed her new relationship should have been off-limits during the roast. Brady did reach out to apologize to her afterward, and the two maintain a cordial relationship focused on co-parenting their children.
“Gisele and Tom had a ‘no disparaging remarks’ rule when it came to speaking about each other or their marriage and divorce. She is definitely offended and upset about the comments made at the roast,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
A second insider noted that, typical of roasts, the participants were unaware of the specific jokes in advance, which often target public aspects of their lives. The children, however, were strictly off-limits.
During “The Roast of Tom Brady,” which aired on Netflix, comedians like Kevin Hart, Jeff Ross, and Nikki Glaser poked fun at various aspects of Brady’s life, including his divorce from Bündchen. Jokes ranged from playful jabs about Bündchen’s new partner to more personal comments about their past relationship.
Despite the nature of the roast, Bündchen has had to defend her new relationship publicly, emphasizing in The New York Times that the portrayal of her as unfaithful is unfounded and reflects broader societal attitudes towards women who leave challenging relationships.
Bündchen was not the only one mentioned during the roast; Brady’s past relationship with Bridget Moynahan was also a subject of humor.
The roast, while filled with humor, highlighted the complex dynamics of Brady’s public and personal life, reaffirming that even celebrities must navigate the consequences of their private affairs being thrust into the public eye. The event is now available for streaming on Netflix.
