Aaron Hernandez's ex-fiancée Shayanna Jenkins isn't happy with all the jokes about the late Patriots player and convicted murderer during the Netflix roast of Tom Brady.
In an interview with TMZ, Jenkins said she thought all the jokes about Hernandez, who died by suicide while behind bars, were disrespectful. "It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world," she said, noting that her and Hernandez's 11-year-old daughter Avielle is now old enough to have heard and understand the jokes about her late father. Several people mentioned the late football player during the roast, including Tom Brady, Nikki Glaser, and his former teammate Julian Edelman.
"Everyone always asks me how big Gronk's dick is," said Edelman during the roast, referring to Rob Gronkowski. "Now don't get me wrong, it gets the job done. But there was this other Patriots tight end. Now he was hung." Hernandez was found dead by hanging in his cell in April, 2017.
Glaser made a similar joke about Hernandez's death. "Give it up for zero-time Super Bowl champion Randy Moss," said Glaser. "Why don't you have a ring? What the hell, man, you're one of the best ever. Drew Bledsoe has a ring. Aaron Hernandez had a ring... around his neck."
Brady, meanwhile, made a reference to Hernandez being found guilty in 2015 of the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. "The bar for a Patriots tight end was pretty low back then," said Brady. "Block. Catch. Don't murder."
Jenkins recently shared a selfie of her and Hernandez on April 19, the seven-year anniversary of his death. "'It takes as long as it takes .I will always wake up everyday only to remember you are not here and have to feel that ache all over again,'" she wrote. "You are truly loved & missed."
