sport news Tom Brady admits his Netflix roast 'affected' his kids after brutal jokes about ... trends now

Tom Brady appears to have some regrets about doing his Netflix roast special after a few of the quips hurt his children. 

Brady, 46, was roasted by a number of high-profile figures - including stand-up comedians, celebrities and ex-teammates - in a live Netflix show earlier this month. 

A lot of the ruthless material contained jokes about his divorce from Gisele Bundchen, 43, after 13 years of marriage, which he has admitted didn't go down too well back at home. 

The seven-time Super Bowl winner, who shares Benjamin and Vivian with the Brazilian supermodel, revealed that some of the quips 'affected' his kids during an episode of "'The Pivot' with Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder. 

'I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun,' he said. 'I didn't like the way they affected my kids.

'It was the bittersweet aspect of when you're doing something you think is one way and then you realize I wouldn't do that again because of the way it affected the people I care about the most in the world. 

'It makes you in some ways a better parent going through it because sometimes you're naïve.' 

The former quarterback's children weren't the only ones upset with the roast with Bundchen said to be furious about being the source of the relentless taunting. 

According to People, Bundchen was left fuming at the jokes about her and Brady's former marriage during the special, saying she 'was deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening's roast show'.

'As always, [Bundchen's] priority is to support her children who were affected by the irresponsible content that was broadcasted,' the insider went on.

Bundchen is said to be less than impressed about her divorce with Brady, and her subsequent new relationship with jiu jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente, being used as the butt of jokes.

One shock quip saw comedian Nikki Glaser referencing Valente's martial arts prowess, saying: 'How much would it suck for Tom... omg, just knowing your ex-wife's new boyfriend could beat your a** while eating hers.' 

Brady's former teammate Drew Bledsoe, who weathered his fair share of digs about the quarterback replacing him in New England, also took aim at the divorce.
