Kevin Hart knows a thing or two about delivering a brutal joke. But the roles were reversed this past weekend as the comedian was the subject of Netflix’s latest celebrity roast.
Hosted by Shane Gillis in front of a rowdy live audience, stars like Pete Davidson, Serena Williams, Regina Hall, Dwayne Johnson, Draymond Green, Usher, and Chelsea Handler took to the stage to mock Kevin. There were jokes about everything from his short stature to “Diddy parties,” but one of the cruelest jabs came directly from Tom Brady.
After enduring his own Netflix roast in 2024, the NFL legend made a surprise appearance to get some payback on Kevin — and he certainly didn’t go easy on him.
“All right, this won’t take long, because, as you guys know, I’m a busy man,” Tom said onstage. “But I do have a few words for you before I return to my affairs in Las Vegas. Oh, wait, I’m talking about affairs in Las Vegas.”
“Was that off? Not supposed to talk about affairs in Vegas?” he said. “I think I broke another rule. Fuck it. I talked about it.”
If you weren’t aware, Tom’s joke refers to when Kevin was exposed for cheating on his then-pregnant wife, Eniko Hart, in Las Vegas back in 2017.
In Kevin’s 2019 Netflix docuseries, Eniko revealed that she found out about his cheating scandal via a DM from a stranger. “I was about seven or eight months pregnant. I was having breakfast, I opened my phone, and I immediately lost it,” she said. “I called him, I’m crying, I’m pissed. Right then and there, I kept saying, ‘How the fuck did you let that happen?’”
At the time, Kevin came clean and published an apology video on Instagram. Fortunately, he and Eniko were able to work things out, and they’re still together today. She was also present at the roast and would’ve heard Tom’s joke first-hand.
In 2019, Eniko said that the only thing that got her through the scandal was focusing on her pregnancy. “I wasn’t ready at the time to just give up on my family,” she said in the Netflix doc. “I wanted Kenzo to be able to know his dad and grow up, so it was a lot…It was a lot for me, but we’ve been through it, we’ve gone through it, we passed it, and he’s a better man now because of it.”
Of course, Tom is no stranger to his romantic relationships being weaponized for comedy. During the Brady Netflix roast in 2024, Kevin ruffled feathers with a brutal joke about Tom’s 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
“Single life is what you deserve because you got no choice,” Kevin quipped at the time. “Gisele gave him an ultimatum, Gisele said, ‘You retire or we’re done.’ Well, let me tell you something, when you have a chance to go 8–9 and all it will cost you is your wife and kids, you gotta do what the fuck you got to do. Fuck them kids.”
He also made a comment about Gisele’s then-boyfriend (now-husband), her longtime jiu-jitsu coach Joaquim Valente, joking that the supermodel “fucked that karate man.” (To be clear, Gisele has denied rumors that she cheated on Tom with Joaquim.)
While Tom winced on the sidelines, reports claimed that Gisele was “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family” during the roast, in which she and her kids had no involvement. “Her main concern is always her children and family, and she wants to protect them,” a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “She found some of the jokes to be distasteful and disrespectful.”
Later in his appearance, Tom made reference to Kevin’s below-the-belt jokes about Gisele, saying: “You took a lot of shots at my family during my roast. But I’m too classy to go after your beautiful wife. Or am I? What’s up, girl?”
Eniko was in the audience and appeared to be laughing it off, so that’s something! But with these celebrity roasts, what counts as too far? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. In the meantime, you can catch up on The Roast of Kevin Hart on Netflix.
