News broke this Monday that Gisele Bündchen, the iconic 44-year-old supermodel, is expecting a child with her partner and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente.
This will be Bündchen’s third child and her first with Valente, and it didn’t take long for fans to react online, some focusing as much on her ex-husband, Tom Brady, as on her happy announcement.
Many fans jumped at the chance to poke fun at Brady, with social media buzzing with comments that were both critical and humorous. For some, Brady’s week just seemed to be getting worse.
Social Media Reactions Pour In
Almost immediately after the pregnancy announcement went viral, social media users began weighing in, and they didn’t hold back.
One post read, “Tom Brady just fell to his knees in the plastic surgery office,” while another quipped, “Tom Brady is somewhere pulling his hair out. When a woman is done, she is done.”
There were plenty of jokes at Brady’s expense, with some fans even calling him a “dumba** for fumbling this baddie.”
Their split, which happened in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, seemed to add fuel to the social media fire.
Fans revisited the details of Brady and Bündchen’s split, their choices, and the timing of Brady’s NFL retirement reversal that added a layer of irony to the whole scenario.
Brady’s Recent Comments in the Broadcast Booth Stir Up Controversy
Brady’s week only got more intense when a comment he made during his work as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports raised eyebrows.
During Sunday’s game, Brady used the word “spaz” to describe Bills quarterback Josh Allen, calling him “a storm coming into town.”
This comment struck a nerve with fans who quickly took to social media to express their surprise and disappointment, highlighting the term’s ableist connotations.
One fan posted, “Did you hear Tom Brady call Josh Allen a ‘spaz’? Highly offensive,” while others criticized the former quarterback’s choice of language.
Brady’s use of the word, often considered offensive to people with disabilities, added another layer of backlash.
Criticism of Brady’s Broadcast Skills
The former quarterback’s work as a broadcaster has been widely criticized since he took on his analyst role in a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports.
Fans voiced their displeasure with Brady’s commentary style, saying it lacked energy, and calling his delivery “cold” and “dull.”
A user on social media even remarked, “The ONLY thing worse about watching your team lose is having to listen to Brady’s lackluster commentary.”
As Brady navigates these new waters of post-retirement life, it’s clear that fans won’t be holding back their opinions.
Whether he’s on the field or in the broadcast booth, the public remains as invested as ever in what Brady says—and sometimes, in what he doesn’t say.
