Tom Brady's response to Jeff Ross joking about Robert Kraft's 2019 misdemeanor arrest for soliciting prostitution is drawing comparisons to Will Smith and Chris Rock on social media. Ross made the remark during Netflix's The Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday night. “So Tom became a Patriot and moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft‘s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made. Would you like a massage?'” Ross joked, referring to the start of Brady's career. Afterward, the former NFL star approached the podium and told him not to "say that sh*t again."
Kraft was among 25 people facing first-degree misdemeanor charges for soliciting prostitution at a day spa called Orchids of Asia in 2019. The case was dropped after Palm Beach County Judge Leonard Hanser ruled the warrant that allowed the installation of hidden cameras inside the spa was unconstitutional.
