Tom Brady may have been able to take a lot during his celebrity roast on Netflix, but it looks like there was one moment that crossed the line for the NFL star
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady special on Netflix proved to be an outstanding success. From Kevin Hart to Tony Hinchcliffe, some of the great comedian’s in the US took to the stage to make the 46-year-old former quarterback sweat and squirm in his seat.
…And Kim Kardashian was there.
However, among all the jokes and laughs from the evening, there was one moment that saw Brady leave his seat, leaving viewers to believe that a line had been crossed. Check it out below:
The joke in question saw comedian Jeff Ross poke fun at a then-rookie Brady being picked 199th overall in the NFL Draft, adding that the quarterback then walked into the officer of Patriots owner Robert Kraft and told him: “I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.”
However, after the audience erupted into applause, Ross then delivered the punchline: “Would you like a massage?”
This was a reference to Kraft’s 2019 arrest for soliciting prostitution in a Florida massage parlor. Despite the charges eventually being dropped the following year, the controversy made headlines around the world.
After delivering the joke, Brady left his seat and approached Ross at the podium, where he could be heard saying: "Don't say that s**t again." Now, Brady did have a smile on his face as he said this, so he was probably just going along with the joke.
However, viewers had mixed feelings over the moment, as they took to X to share their thoughts.
“Tom Brady was NOT happy about Jeff Ross’s massage joke,” one person tweeted.
A second added: “2 min in, Jeff Ross made Tom Brady try to stop jeffs jokes on Robert Kraft. He Broke the 1st rule of Roasting. Don’t be a pussy and cry after the joke.”
“Tom Brady wasn't a fan of this Robert Kraft joke,” a third tweeted. “Felt like a near Will Smith moment.”
And this viewer agreed, writing: “Tom Brady was NOT happy about Jeff Ross’s massage joke referring to Robert Kraft. We almost had a Will Smith Moment.”
A fifth wrote: “Tom Brady is P***ED OFF after roaster Jeff Ross made a massage joke regarding owner Robert Kraft.”
What did you think of Ross' joke? Too harsh for a roast or did Brady just need to relax a little?
The Roast of Tom Brady is now available to stream on Netflix.
