All is well between Tom Brady and comedian Jeff Ross, who apparently upset the former NFL player when he made a “massage” joke about New England Patriots CEO Robert Kraft on Netflix‘s Tom Brady Roast.
During the live event, which aired on Sunday (May 5), Ross mocked Kraft, who was previously accused of paying for sex at a Florida massage parlor in 2019.
“Tom became a Patriot and moved to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that skinny rookie walked into owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.’ . Do you want a massage?’” Ross said before blowing a kiss in Kraft’s direction and adding, “I love Robert Kraft.”
However, things took a heated turn when Brady left his seat, approached Ross and warned him not to “say that shit again.”
Despite the awkward moment, Ross told the Rich Eisen show on Monday (May 6) that there was “no way” Brady was actually angry about the prank.
“He’s having fun!” Ross insisted, according to TMZ. “It’s like… that’s his father. Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him. He was just showing his love for Robert Kraft. Robert Kraft loved it. Afterwards we had a great talk. I was so happy that I shouted greetings to him. It was beautiful.”
Jugo Mobile reached out to Brady’s representatives but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Meanwhile, Nikki Glaser, who also criticized Brady during the roast, claimed Ross was “a little concerned” after making the joke at Kraft’s expense.
“We are aware of these things,” he said in The Howard Stern Show by Us weekly. “You know, afterwards we say, ‘Did that really hurt his feelings?’ And I say: ‘You know? [Tom] I had to do it performatively for Robert, I’m sure. But I’m sure it wasn’t something Jeff was going to hear about today or anything like that.”
