Jess Ross explained how Tom Brady reacted behind the scenes after a tense moment on stage.
Netflix’s Roast of Tom Brady has given social media brilliant clips to crack up over.
On Sunday, the former New England Patriots quarterback was at the mercy of celebrities and friends and their barrage of jokes.
Some of them really were brilliant... shout out to Nikki Glaser and her brutal putdowns.

But one joke seemed to create a very tense atmosphere and certainly got people talking.
After a joke from comedian Jeff Ross, Brady left his seat to tell Ross ‘don’t say that s*** again’.
The joke in question saw the comedian refers to two charges of soliciting prostitution by owner of New England Patriots Robert Kraft, back in 2019 which saw him accused of paying for sex at a massage parlor in Florida.
Ross referring to a moment when Brady told owner of New England Patriots Robert Kraft he was the 'best decision' the team had 'ever made'.
Ross's joke had Brady saying: "I’m the best decision your organization has ever made. Would you like a massage?"
At the time, Kraft pleaded not guilty and issued a public apology. The charges against him were later dropped.
Since then, Ross has spoken out and responded to rumors he and Brady are now on bad terms.

Speaking to podcast The Rich Eisen Show, he said: “Come on. No way. He [Brady] is having fun! That's like his dad. Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him.
“He was just showing his love for Robert Kraft and Robert Kraft loved it - we had a great talk afterwards. And he was so happy I gave him a shoutout, a salute. It was beautiful.”
And Ross’ claims do make sense considering Brady made it clear he was prepared for the jokes from his peers and was well aware nothing was off limits.
In a statement before the show, he said: "It’s like a football game. You run with a game plan, and then you get to see kind of how the strategy goes, and then you adjust on the fly.
"This is what a locker room has been like for me for all these years. So it’s not like I’m used to people not making fun of me."
Let’s be honest, that certainly wasn’t the worst joke Brady had to suffer through, especially since many made jokes about his now ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
