Even though Tom Brady willingly signed up for a roast, but he took an exception to Kraft‘s infamous massage incident in 2019.
In Netflix’s live production of the ‘Greatest Roast of All Time’, America’s ‘Roastmaster General’ Jeff Ross delivered a line that referenced when Brady introduced himself to Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
‘Tom became a Patriot, moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, I’m the greatest decision your organization has ever made… would you like a massage,’ Ross joked.
It drew laughs from the room, but the quarterback appeared unimpressed by the joke and went up to Ross in the middle of his set.
‘Don’t say that s**t again,’ Brady said with a smile, while his hand poorly covered up the microphone.
Kraft’s Massage Incident
That joke, of course, was a reference to when Kraft was one of 25 people facing a misdemeanor charge for soliciting prostitution at a Florida day spa back in February 2019.
Kraft pled not guilty. Later, the charges were dropped in September of 2019 after a Florida appeals court ruled his constitutional rights were violated.
That’s because Kraft’s attorneys revealed hidden cameras were installed at the spa before Kraft visited under the guise of a response to a bomb threat.
‘I am truly sorry,’ Kraft said in a March 2019 statement about the case. ‘I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.

‘Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being.
‘…As I move forward, I hope to continue to use the platform with which I have been blessed to help others and to try to make a difference. I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your confidence and respect.’
Fans React
After Brady’s incident with Ross, fans on social media quickly compared it to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars for joking about Jada Pinkett Smith.
‘TOM BRADY ALMOST PULLED A WILL SMITH????,’ one user on Twitter wrote.
Another said: ‘Tom Brady standing on business for Robert Kraft is sick.’
