Tom Brady on Netflix Roast: 'I wouldn't do that again'

Tom Brady just did some Monday Morning quarterbacking of his Netflix Roast — and he clearly wasn't completely happy with all that went down.

The NFL legend hopped on "The Pivot Podcast" posted on Tuesday, May 14 and gave a candid response in the aftermath of Netflix's (NFLX) "The Roast of Tom Brady" from Sunday, May 5.

"I loved when the jokes were about me — I thought they were so fun," Brady said. "I didn't like the way it affected my kids."

Brady's kids were not directly targeted by any of the jokes, and Drew Bledsoe confirmed that guests on the broadcast were explicitly told not to target them. But there were jokes directed toward Brady's family, particularly at his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Many of the jokes at the expense of Bündchen were focused on her extra marital affair with her now partner Joaquim Valente. Bündchen was reportedly "disappointed" in the jokes during the Roast, and Brady even reached out to apologize to her, according to Us Weekly.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was also not supposed to be joked about, particularly regarding a 2019 report by Vanity Fair that alleged that he had sexual escapades at massage parlors, according to Bledsoe. But Jeff Ross made a joke early on in the roast about Kraft and massages, which caused Brady to get up from his chair and tell off the comedian on the live microphone.

"Don't say that sh— again," Brady said to Ross.

These live roast often included shots against the people in attendance or within the life of the main character, but it seems like Brady didn't account for how much that part of it would affect him.

"It's the bittersweet aspect of — when you do something and you think it's one way then all of a sudden you realize, 'I wouldn't do that do that again because of the way that it affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world,'" Brady said.

Brady explained that he loves comedy — saying that it was one of the the main things he watched when the media was on his tail about the Deflategate scandal in 2015. He also said he loves when he and his teammates would poke fun at one another in the locker room.

But given his status as a parent nowadays, he realized that the Roast was a little different because of the way it affected everyone else around him.

"For me as a parent, I'm going to be a better parent as I go forward because of it and at the same time I'm happy everybody who was there had a lot of fun," Brady said.
