Tom Brady’s season is not going as expected.
He torpedoed his marriage to play another year in the NFL, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not playing well.
Now Brady got the worst news possible in the middle of a bad season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just clawed their way back to .500 as their mediocre season carries on.
Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady came out of retirement to play again, which triggered wife Gisele Bundchen to file for divorce.
The quarterback wrote in a social media post:
“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
To add insult to injury, Brady is one of several celebrities being sued for promoting cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
The company recently imploded after it was revealed that CEO and Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried was defrauding customers in what is shaping up to be a bigger corporate scandal than Enron.
From the New York Post:
“Investors not only are suing Sam Bankman-Fried, but also celebrity endorsers of his bankrupt crypto company FTX, including Tom Brady, ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, Larry David, and sports stars like David Ortiz, Steph Curry and Shaquille O’Neal. Attorneys including star litigator David Boies filed the lawsuit on behalf of Edwin Garrison, an Oklahoma resident who had an FTX yield-bearing account which he funded with crypto assets to earn interest, and others like him. Celebrity endorsers such as David, who filmed a Super Bowl commercial for FTX, are accused of engaging in deceptive practices to sell FTX yield-bearing digital currency accounts, the suit claims.”
Social media users highlighted that Larry David was hilariously being sued for appearing in a commercial where he shot down the idea of crypto.

The Post continued:
“Brady and Bündchen, who also appeared in commercials touting FTX, bought equity stakes in the company, which was forced to file for bankruptcy protection last week after it was learned that customer deposits were being used to make risky bets through a subsidiary research firm. Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried could be in hot water with federal investigators. Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News that US and Bahamian authorities have been discussing possibly extraditing the 30-year-old Bankman-Fried, whose company is based in the Bahamas.”
Bankman-Fried appeared onstage with many left-wing politicians and celebrities, including Bundchen, so the Democrats have a gigantic mess on their hands.
It appears unlikely that the lawsuit will be successful, but simply being associated with the disastrous fraud is a headache that Brady and nobody else wants.
And there are many layers to the story, which means it has legs.
