Almost exactly a year after the fact, Tom Brady still has stuff to say about his massively successful Netflix roast. Now, he says that it made him feel like a bad parent. The retired NFL star was on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast on Tuesday, where he explained that if he has any regrets from his roast, it’s that his kids didn’t enjoy watching Nikki Glaser tear into him and their mom, Gisele Bündchen. (One illustrative joke: “How much must that suck to know that your ex-wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ass while eating hers?”)
Brady’s roast dominated the cultural conversation for days following its release. In the first week of its release, nearly 14 million people watched it on Netflix. Clips from the evening went massively viral, including one in which Brady told comic Jeff Ross, “Don’t say that shit again,” after a joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s arrest for soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor. Brady did not, however, interfere during the endless parade of jokes about Bündchen and her relationship with her jiujitsu instructor.
“It was tough on my kids, for sure,” Brady told Paul. “There’s some things as a parent you fuck up, and you don’t realize until after. We’re not perfect parents. You’ll see as you grow up, there’s no perfect manual for it.”
The former Patriots quarterback said that he felt like he was on “cloud nine” following the “electric” roast but came crashing down the next day after talking to his children. “I felt like a stake through the heart, understandably,” Brady said of his kids’ reactions. Brady shares two kids, Benjamin and Vivian, with Bündchen and has an older son, Jack, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
Brady recalled that they asked him, “What was the point of that? Why did you do that?”
“They’re protective of their mom, of their dad — of everybody,” Brady explained.
A few days after the roast, Bündchen was reportedly “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening’s roast show.” A week later, Brady went on the Pivot podcast and said that he was going to “be a better parent” moving forward. Has he stuck to that promise? He’s still bringing up his kids when people ask about the roast, which I’m not sure they’d love. Other than that, he hasn’t put himself or his ex-wife in a position to get ripped apart by professional insulters recently, which does actually count as a parenting win for him.
