Gisele Bündchen found herself at the center of attention during her ex-husband Tom Brady’s Netflix roast, but not in a way she appreciated. Reports emerged that she was deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family during “The Greatest Roast of All Time” event. The roast featured a barrage of jokes aimed at Bündchen, ranging from her divorce from Brady after 13 years of marriage to her new relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente.
Comedians such as Kevin Hart, Jeffrey Ross, and Nikki Glaser, as well as celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ben Affleck, and Peyton Manning, didn’t hold back in poking fun at Bündchen’s personal life. Despite being a public figure, Bündchen evidently found the jokes crossing a line, particularly as they pertained to her children. She shares two kids with Brady: thirteen-year-old Benjamin and ten-year-old Vivian. Brady also has a sixteen-year-old son, John “Jack” Edward, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
A source close to Bündchen conveyed her sentiments, noting that she was “deeply disappointed” by the disrespectful content of the roast show. The source emphasized Bündchen’s unwavering priority: supporting her children, who were undoubtedly affected by the irresponsible portrayal of their family dynamics. Bündchen’s concern for shielding her children from the fallout of public scrutiny underscores her commitment to their well-being, especially in the face of media sensationalism.
The incident sheds light on the fine line between humor and sensitivity, especially when it comes to public figures’ personal lives. While roasts are known for their irreverent humor, there are boundaries that should be respected, particularly when children are involved. Bündchen’s reaction serves as a reminder that behind the glamorous façade of celebrity lies real people with real emotions, deserving of empathy and respect.
