Tom Brady’s Netflix roast, “Greatest Roast of All Time,” aired on a prime Sunday night, drawing a huge audience and a barrage of jokes aimed at the legendary quarterback. No subject was off-limits, including his broken marriage with Gisele Bündchen. A source close to Bündchen expressed her “deep disappointment” to PEOPLE magazine, criticizing the show’s disrespectful portrayal of her family. The source emphasized that Gisele’s “priority is to support her children who were affected by the irresponsible content that was broadcasted.”

Many fans voiced support for the former Victoria’s Secret model, expressing concern over the vulgar jokes made at her expense. However, sports commentator Rich Eisen delivered a harsh response, questioning the sensitivity of those reactions.

On his show, Rich Eisen enthusiastically praised the Tom Brady Roast, giving it an “A+++” for exceeding expectations.

He further explained that roasts are designed to be brutal and that Brady very well knew that his life was to be dissected for laughs. “Then he shouldn’t have sat for a roast,” Eisen stated bluntly. “I just needed to kind of remind everybody it’s a comedy event where anything goes and if that’s not your cup of tea then don’t watch” he added. The show ended with a sharp criticism of those supporting Gisele — “Don’t chime in because you don’t get it.”

The Tom Brady roast seemed to target Gisele Bündchen more than the quarterback himself. Her post-divorce relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente became a recurring source of jokes, and even her past relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio was dragged into the mix. However, it seems Gisele didn’t watch the roast live. A source close to her revealed that she was focused on aiding flood victims in her home state of Brazil and “so to hear her life being joked about was very disappointing” at that moment. 

Her absence from the 2024 Met Gala further fueled speculation pointing to the roast, but an insider clarified that helping flood victims has been her priority. The insider also revealed Gisele’s genuine disappointment stating, “The jokes hit below the belt and they made it look like Gisele cheated, which she’s been desperately trying to deny.” It appears that Gisele’s frustration stems from the stigma often faced by women who leave unhealthy relationships to be unfaithful.
