Since Aaron Hernandez was mentioned in negative ways several times during Tom Brady's roast, his ex-fiance is furious. Shayanna Jenkins, the mother of the late Patriots star's sole child, expressed her disappointment that her late fiancé was the target of several jokes during the Netflix show. She feels this ultimately made his tragic tale seem trivial. She says, "It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world." Shayanna continued by saying that Even though Aaron is no longer with them a lot of people have opinions about him and his life. Their 11-year-old daughter is still very much a part of her life and is affected by it all.
She adds that since her daughter is now a preteen and has grown up, she will undoubtedly witness what was said about her father on Sunday come from a group of adult men who were amused by his untimely demise and from a person she looked up to. Shayanna believes Aaron ought to have been off-limits during the roast, but he wasn't. There were plenty of edgy jokes, and expecting comedians to hold back at a roast is wishful thinking, unfortunately.
Aaron Hernandez's Fiancee Reacts To Tom Brady Roast
Throughout the roast, Tom and other people make several direct and indirect references to Aaron. Julian Edelman, Aaron's former teammate, also made a hanging joke. Nikki Glaser joked about Aaron wearing a ring around his neck. The jokes garnered gasps from the crowd but were ultimately laughed at. Aaron took his own life in prison after being convicted of murder. It was a dark time for the New England Patriots. They now seem pretty comfortable making jokes about his tragic story.
Tom Brady thought one comic crossed the line. After enduring several jokes about his divorce from his ex-wife Giselle Bundchen, Tom did not take kindly to Jeff Ross's joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Craft was in legal trouble a couple of years ago for alleged solicitation at a massage parlor where he was believed to be videotaped doing illegal activities. Jeff Ross joked about the "message," and Tom walked over to him like Will Smith and told him, "Don't say that sh*t again." Overall, It seems there were some topics that were off-limits.
