Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen were married for 13 of their 16-year relationship. Numerous rumors concerning the cause of their 2022 divorce surfaced. The fact that Bündchen cheated on Brady was among the most upsetting. She categorically stated, “That is a lie,” to The New York Times in 2024. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labelled as being unfaithful … for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”

When Bündchen was made fun of during the 2024 season of “The Roast of Tom Brady” on Netflix, it was magnified even more. Kevin Hart also dragged Bündchen through the mud while making jokes about Brady, saying she had an affair with “that karate man” (via Page Six). The “karate man” was a reference to Joaquim Valente, Bündchen’s ex-jiu-jitsu teacher, with whom Bündchen had a romantic involvement following her divorce.

According to people close to Bündchen, she was “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening’s roast show.” Although Brady later expressed regret to Bündchen, the harm had already been done. Bündchen desired that her private affairs remain private and did not formally remark on the roast.
