Aaron Hernandez’s Fiancee Shaken by Jokes on Tom Brady’s Netflix Roast
Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancée of late New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, voiced her outrage over the insensitive jokes made at his expense during Tom Brady’s Netflix special, “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.”
Mocks Stir Controversy
“It’s heartbreaking trying to raise my children in such a cruel world,” Jenkins confided to TMZ Sports, expressing her anger that Hernandez, a positive role model for their daughter, was treated so disrespectfully.
In the special, Brady quipped that the “bar for a Patriots tight end was pretty low back then – block, catch, don’t murder.” Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe suggested that fellow comedian Kevin Hart was standing on the stool that Hernandez used to end his life.
Satire Goes Too Far
最過分的莫過於Nikki Glaser的調侃：”讓我們為沒有超級碗冠軍的Randy Moss鼓掌！你為什麼沒有戒指？你可是歷史上最棒的球員之一。Drew Bledsoe有戒指，Aaron Hernandez也有戒指——套在他脖子上。”
Loving and Supportive Family
Jenkins insisted that her daughters should remember Hernandez as a loving and supportive father who made mistakes. “It’s wrong for producers, writers, and comedians to bring these things up for a cheap laugh,” she said, “when in reality Aaron’s family are the ones being hurt by this absurd behavior.”
Legacy of a Loved One
Hernandez was convicted of murder in 2015 and died by suicide in prison in 2017. While acknowledging his past actions, Jenkins emphasized the importance of recognizing the person they knew and loved.
Respect for the Departed
In the wake of the public backlash, several commentators have called for a greater sense of sensitivity and respect toward the departed, particularly those who have passed away under tragic circumstances. The LA News Center echoes these sentiments, recognizing the need to strike a balance between entertainment and tact, ensuring that the legacy of those we have lost is treated with the dignity they deserve.
