Ben Affleck‘s rambling tirade at Tom Brady’s roast left viewers puzzled.
During Netflix’s three-hour special on Sunday, Affleck used nearly six minutes of his time onstage to criticize the retired football quarterback’s fan base.
Rather than poking fun at Brady himself, the “Gone Girl” actor chose to address the negative comments that athletes, including Brady, often encounter from online trolls.
While Brady faced his fair share of jabs about his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen throughout the roast, Affleck’s critique veered in a different direction.
Host Kevin Hart kicked off the event by jesting about Brady’s departure from the New England Patriots after 20 seasons, quipping that he left former coach Bill Belichick “high and dry” for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019.
“You f—ed your coach, but let me tell you something, people, that’s what you do to maintain your happiness. You sometimes got to f— your coach. You who, who else f—ed their coach? Gisele. She f—ed that karate man.”
“I mean, Jesus Christ, Tom,” Hart said. “One of the smartest quarterbacks to ever play the game; how did you not see this coming? Eight f—ing karate classes a day? Eight karate classes a day? Eight karate classes a day, and she’s still a white belt.”
Comedian Nikki Glaser later quipped, “You had seven rings, well eight after Gisele gave hers back.”
