Tom Brady’s Netflix Roast Hangover: Is the GOAT Still Clueless on Why They Dragged Him?

Added on May 7, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards

So, here we are—a whole year since Tom Brady, the gridiron great-turned-roast victim, let a parade of Hollywood heavyweights take verbal swings at him on Netflix. You’d think after all those jokes, he’d be chuckling along in the background, right? Well, plot twist! Turns out, the whole roast act wasn’t just harmless fun; it left the Brady family feeling pretty bruised. Now, with Mercury still doing its little retrograde dance that loves stirring up past regrets and misunderstandings, Tom’s opening up about why he’d never step into that comedic ring again. After all, when your kids start asking, “Dad, what was the point of that?”, you know you’ve crossed a line somewhere between punchlines and painful. And let’s not forget the other star of the show—Gisele Bündchen—who was reportedly “deeply disappointed” by how the jokes trampled on her and her new life chapter. It begs the question: is there a cosmic reason why some humor just doesn’t land without collateral damage? Or maybe some roasts are better left unburnt. Either way, Brady’s roast saga is a sharp reminder that even legends—whether of football or fabulousness—can have moments they’d love to do over. LEARN MORE.

It has been a year since Tom Brady allowed A-listers to roast him for a Netflix special; however, his regrets are not over. The retired athlete recently addressed why he would never participate in another comedy roast, claiming his family suffered significantly from his first and last involvement.

“The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady” aired last May, featuring several jabs about his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. Last year, sources claimed the Brazilian supermodel was “deeply disappointed” that her ex-husband allowed their family and her new relationship to be diminished for laughs.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen were married for over a decade before ending things in 2022, years after welcoming two children.

During a recent appearance on “Impaulsive,” Brady shared his regrets about the Netflix roast with host Logan Paul. The YouTube clip captured him recounting how his family’s reaction to the comedy special ruined his experience.

Brady confessed that he was initially happy about the roast, as he never took the jabs seriously until his children burst his bubble. “We got done, we were — everybody was on Cloud Nine. And I think that moment, I’ll never forget, you know?” he told the host, adding:

“And I’ll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day, and I was, like, I felt like, you know, a stake through the heart.”

Gisele Bündchen Was ‘Deeply Disappointed’ By Her Ex-Husband’s Netflix Special

Brady labeled the roast a parent “f-ck up” moment, describing it as one of the experiences where people don’t realize their mistake until it’s too late. His recent comments mark one of the several instances he has been vocal about how much he regrets hurting his family with the Netflix special.

The Roast Happened At A Difficult Time In Brazil

According to the insider, Brady’s roast could not have occurred at a worse time, as a terrible flood was plaguing Brazil.

“This past week, Gisele has been tirelessly dedicated to aiding those in need in her home state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which is grappling with the worst flooding in its history,” they explained.

“She was concerned about families affected by the devastating floods, so to hear her life being joked about was very disappointing,” the source added. During the roast, stars like Nikki Glaser, Kevin Hart, Julian Edelman, Kim Kardashian, and more threw jabs at Brady and his broken relationship with Bündchen.

Glaser, especially, had plenty to say about the duo’s failed marriage and did not hold back. In one of her jokes she referenced Bündchen’s Jiu-Jitsu beau, saying: “How much would it suck for Tom… omg, just knowing your ex-wife’s new boyfriend could beat your a-s while eating hers.”

Another jab saw Glaser joking about how “the only thing dumber” than Brady  agreeing to the roast was when he said, “‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu.'” She also noted he had seven rings from his championship wins, adding: “Well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back.”

Two months before Brady shared his roast regrets, The Blast reported the former athlete had not given up on marriage. A source shared the claim in March, alleging NFL fans could see their beloved star walk down the aisle a second time.

“Tom is not completely closed off to the idea of getting married again, but isn’t sure what the future holds,” the informant said. They noted he had been “casually dating” and “doing great” while prioritizing his children and career.

Brady was romantically linked to supermodel Irina Shayk in 2023, and they reportedly had an on-and-off-again relationship. “Tom and Irina have started dating each other again and are open to seeing where things go,” a source said at the time. However, their alleged romance ended in October 2023.

One of the reasons things between Brady and Shayk didn’t work out might be linked to the media personality’s divorce. A source alleged he had difficulty moving on from his relationship with Bündchen, especially since she easily found love again and welcomed her third child with her Jiu-Jitsu lover.

“Tom would love to date more, but he is busy and very focused on his first year of being a commentator. It is easier to be single right now,” the insider shared, adding, “At first, everything stings. Her getting pregnant, her hanging out with Joaquim, her moving on.”

“But then he snaps out of it and remains busy, knows that his life is pretty good, and to worry about things he can’t control is a waste of time,” the source continued. They stressed that Brady would “be fine” as he finally realized it was too late to complain about how things ended with Bündchen.
