Tom Brady breaks silence on Netflix roast's influence: "I didn’t like how it affected my kids"
Tom Brady was the subject of jokes about his family, ex-wife, and the New England Patriots during his 2024 Netflix special "The Greatest Roast of All-Time.". Brady shared his thoughts on the experience during an episode of The Pivot podcast.
Brady said he didn't mind the jokes that were about him, but he was bothered by the ones that affected his kids.
"I loved when the jokes were about me, but I didn't like how it affected my kids," said Brady.
"So it's the hardest part about it, the bitter sweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and all of a sudden you realize I wouldn't do that again because of the way it affected, actually, the people who I care about the most in the world."
The G.R.O.A.T. was a hit on Netflix. It saw over two million viewers and was the sixth-most watched event on Netflix from April 29 to May 5, while only being on the platform for less than half a day.
