Tom Brady voluntarily signed up for a roast and the ‘Roastmaster General’ of the United States, Jeff Ross, made a throw to which the quarterback took exception.
In Netflix’s live production of the ‘Greatest Roast of All Time,’ Ross uttered a phrase that referenced when Brady introduced himself to Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
“Tom became a Patriot, moved to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that skinny rookie walked into owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, ‘I’m the most important decision your organization has ever made.’ .. “You like massages,” Ross joked.
It sparked laughter in the room, but Brady seemed unimpressed by the joke and approached Ross in the middle of his presentation.
“Don’t say that s**t again,” Brady said with a smile, his hand poorly covering the microphone.
Tom Brady interrupted Jeff Ross’ roasting game after he took offense to a joke he told
The prank involved a fake scenario in which Brady asked Kraft if he wanted a massage.
That’s a reference to when Kraft was accused of soliciting a prostitute in 2019.
That, of course, was a reference to when Kraft was one of 25 people facing a misdemeanor charge for soliciting prostitution at a Florida spa in February 2019.
Kraft pleaded not guilty. The charges were later dropped in September 2019 after a Florida appeals court ruled that his constitutional rights had been violated.
This is because Kraft’s lawyers revealed that hidden cameras were installed in the spa under the pretext of a bomb threat.
“I am very sorry,” Kraft said in a March 2019 statement about the case. “I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightly hold me to a higher standard.
‘Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would want to do is disrespect another human being.
‘…As I move forward, I hope to continue using the platform I have been blessed with to help others and try to make a difference. I hope to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your trust and respect.”
Ross wasn’t the only person to criticize Brady. Several comedians, including Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser and Bert Kreischer, were on stage. So were several of his former teammates, such as Drew Bledsoe, Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.
Among the many joke topics are Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bundchen, the Patriots’ multiple cheating scandals, his sexuality and his appearance.
