Former NFL offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz has launched a scathing critique of Tom Brady following the seven-time Super Bowl champion's recent comments about his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
Schwartz, who retired in 2022 after nine seasons in the league, took exception to Brady's apparent swipe at Bündchen during his Netflix roast special. The retired lineman called the remark "unnecessary" and "tasteless," suggesting the quarterback should have taken the high road.
The Controversial Comment
During the comedy roast, Brady made a joke referencing his divorce from Bündchen, which Schwartz interpreted as disrespectful. "There's a time and place for everything," Schwartz wrote on social media. "Making light of your failed marriage in front of millions? That's just classless."
Schwartz's Strong Reaction
The former Kansas City Chiefs player didn't hold back in his criticism: "You'd think after everything they've been through together, Tom would show more respect. Gisele supported his career for years, raised their kids, and this is how she gets repaid? With a cheap shot at a comedy roast?"
Schwartz's comments have sparked debate among NFL fans, with some agreeing that Brady crossed a line, while others argue the roast was all in good fun.
Background of the Brady-Bündchen Split
The power couple's divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage shocked fans worldwide. Reports suggested Brady's decision to unretire from football played a significant role in the split, with Bündchen having supported his initial retirement decision.
Schwartz concluded his remarks by saying: "Great players should act with the same class they show on the field. This wasn't it."
