Former NFL star Tom Brady was roasted during a Netflix stream for promoting the FTX cryptocurrency exchange before it collapsed.

“The Roast of Tom Brady” streamed on Netflix on May 6. Comedians and former teammates took turns to tease the former pro footballer on his career, divorce, and other areas of his life.

Host Kevin Hart mocked Brady, joking about why the Netflix event wasn’t held at the Crypto.com arena in downtown Los Angeles.

“The reason why we didn’t go there is because we didn’t want to remind Tom’s fans of how much money he owes them,” Hart said. “Tom fucked those people. Fucked them good, didn’t he?”

Comedian Nikki Glaser also teased Brady about how his $30 million worth of shares in FTX evaporated after its collapse.

“Tom, how did you fall for that? I mean even Gronk was like “Me. Know. That. Not. Real. Money,” she said, referring to former team mate Rob Gronkowski, who is not known for being the brightest bulb in the box.

Tom Brady At FTX

Prior to its collapse, FTX, under the leadership of Sam Bankman-Fried, enlisted multiple celebrities to promote the exchange.

Brady and his now ex-wife, Giselle Bundchen, received an equity stake in FTX as part of the promotional work. Under the deal, Brady received around $30 million worth of FTX shares.

After FTX filed for bankruptcy in late 2022, Brady, his ex-wife and other celebrities were sued in a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit claimed that Brady profited from promoting FTX at the expense of his fans.
