Tom Brady’s roast special is airing live on Netflix on Sunday, May 5. It would be safe to assume Brady knew what he was signing up for. But it appears he wasn’t quite ready for the heat after he was noticeably upset by one particular joke.
The joke was made by roast legend and regular, Jeff Ross. It wasn’t even about Brady. It was about Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Kraft was once charged with two counts of soliciting sex from a prostitute – the charges were ultimately dropped but it was still a blackeye for the franchise.
Ross’ joke was feisty enough that Brady wasn’t having it… and he let Ross know about it right away.

Tom Brady Not Happy During Netflix Roast Special
Of course, Tom Brady’s roast special continued after Jeff Ross’s joke. And for the most part, Brady rolled with the punches. However, his reaction to the Robert Kraft joke drew some criticism online.
“Tom Brady wasn’t a fan of this Robert Kraft joke… felt like a near Will Smith moment,” one person tweeted.
Another person posted a John Cena gif with the caption, “Tom Brady realizing he’s made a huge mistake.”

Another person noted the Will Smith comparison, as Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele, was the subject of many jokes.

It’s safe to assume this will most likely be Brady’s last time in the roast hot seat.
