Tom Brady had some truly cringeworthy things said to him in public earlier this week, when celebrities including Will Ferrell, Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart and Andrew Schulz all took the opportunity to mock the retired NFL star in Netflix’s aptly named special, The Roast of Tom Brady.

However, there was one joke that probably hit harder for his ex, Bridget Moynahan. During the live broadcast, which took place on May 5, comedian Nikki Glaser made a reference to Moynahan, who dated Brady from 2004 to 2006, per The Independent. The paper states that Brady had already left Moynahan and begun dating supermodel Gisele Bündchen when Moynahan revealed she was three months pregnant.

Referencing this, Glaser joked, “Tom, you’re the best to ever play for too long, you retired then came back then retired, I get it. It’s hard to walk away from something that isn’t your pregnant girlfriend …” before adding, “To be fair, he didn’t know. He just thought she was getting fat.”
