Amid all the digs about his ex-wife, his divorce and his career, Tom Brady took exception to a key topic in his Netflix special.
Barely a year after finalizing his split from the model, Tom Brady faces being mocked over his divorce from Gisele Bündchen and new relationship as he signed up to be brutally roasted in TV special from Netflix.
During The Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix On Sunday night (Monday AEST), legendary comedian Jeff Ross took his turn as Brady, as is the point of the series.

But things changed when Ross started talking about Brady coming to the Patriots after being drafted 199th overall in 2000, when New York Post reports.
“Tom became a Patriot, moved to New England and on the first day of training camp this skinny rookie walked into owner Robert Kraft’s office and said ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made ‘” Ross said.
“Do you want a massage?”
Ross blew a kiss to Kraft, who was in attendance. That’s when Brady stood up from his seat and gave his first audible reaction of the evening.

Tom Brady has a quiet conversation with Jeff Ross during the Roast.
“Don’t say that again,” a smiling Brady told Ross.
Kraft was charged with solicitation of prostitution in February 2019 following a multi-county investigation into massage parlors in Florida.
Police said they recorded Kraft paying for sex acts at the Orchids of Asia spa in January 2019.
Kraft pleaded not guilty and a federal judge in Florida later ruled that the recordings were filmed using illegal surveillance and must be destroyed.
The case was dismissed in September 2019.
“I am truly sorry,” Kraft said in a March 2019 statement about the matter.
“I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, close friends, colleagues, fans and many others who rightly call on me to hold myself 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 to use the platform that I have been blessed with to help others and try to make a difference.
“I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through these actions, I hope to regain your trust and respect.
Although he reacted to Ross’ joke about Kraft, Brady notably remained silent during Ross and Kevin Hart’s expletive-laden digs about his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and the couple’s divorce.
