After being savagely roasted, Tom Brady got support from his famous neighbor in Miami
Tom Brady took more of a beating Sunday night than he ever likely experienced on any football field.
During Netflix’s “GROAT: The Greatest Roast Of All Time,” everyone from the legendary quarterback’s former teammates to veteran comedians popped off.
No topic was off limits (except for his kids, phew).
Brady’s 2022 divorce from Gisele Bundchen was brought up a few times, naturally.
“She f---ed that karate man,” host Kevin Hart said of Bundchen’s current boyfriend, local jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. “Eight karate classes a day, and she’s still a white belt?!”
And this from sharp-tongued comic Nikki Glaser: “You have seven rings ... well, eight, now that Gisele gave hers back.”
The supermodel reportedly wasn’t happy with being the butt of jokes on the ribald show, filmed at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
A source told People magazine that the native Brazilian is “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family.”
At least one person was concerned about the main victim of the evening. That would be fellow GOAT David Beckham.
Toward the end of his appearance (at around the 12:20 mark) on Wednesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the soccer icon said that after the roast, he reached out to the retired NFL star.
The two men are quasi neighbors; both have homes in the Miami area. Beckham and fam are at Museum Tower downtown, and Brady is a resident of Indian Creek Village, aka Billionaire Bunker, a few miles north.
“The whole concept is quite funny; it was very funny,” said the famed footballer. “But I know Tom well, and I must admit, I did fire him a message just to check he was OK.”
Kimmel then inquired how Brady was doing.
“He’s more than OK!” Beckham said, adding he personally would never subject himself to that type of abuse. “But yeah, it was hard to watch.”
