One user suggested the message was aimed at her ex-boyfriend, Tom Brady, commenting, "Sounds like the Tom thing still stings or why comment at all. It's rather telling to me." Another brought up Brady's ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, noting, "It's was a joke! Gisele got demolished."

However, other online users rallied behind Moynahan. One supportive follower remarked, "Yup!! What she said!! So very true." Another netizen suggested that karma would catch up with those at fault, writing, "Karma, baby! Karma!"

Others praised Moynahan's handling of the situation, describing her as "a class act all the way," while another declared, "Now this is a roast."

Moynahan's message came after Brady found himself on the hot seat during comedian Nikki Glaser's roast of him on Netflix. In one episode of "The Roast of Tom Brady," Glaser referenced the athlete's 2006 breakup with Moynahan. Brady sat in a brown chair, wearing a black suit, as he listened to Glaser delve into his personal life.

Glaser quipped to Brady "You really are, I mean, you're the best to ever play for too long, I mean, you retired, then you came back, and then you retired again, I mean I get it, it's hard to walk away from something that's not your pregnant girlfriend. It's tough!" This joke set the tone for Glaser to dig even deeper.

She humorously claimed that when Brady left his ex-girlfriend, he hadn't realized she was pregnant and thought she was just gaining weight. Glaser also poked fun at the athlete's strict diet, saying that if people followed it as rigorously as he did, they could also end up losing their families.

Brady and Moynahan dated in 2004 and ended their relationship two years later. Their breakup took a surprising twist in 2007 when Moynahan announced that she was expecting their first child, John Edward Thomas, also known as "Jack." In a 2008 interview, Moynahan opened up about the challenges of navigating single motherhood.

At the time of her pregnancy revelation, Moynahan was three months pregnant, but Brady had already started dating Bündchen, whom he later married in 2009.

Moynahan admitted she had never imagined herself in that position. "I'm not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, 'I want to be a single mom,'" she said.

This new reality made Moynahan especially keen to protect her family's privacy. She noted, "There's no reason why my son years down the line would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father."

Reflecting on her time of heartbreak and pregnancy, Moynahan described it as a challenging, life-changing experience. However, she also found it to be a valuable experience. "But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world," she affirmed.

Leaving behind her past relationship with Brady, Bridget Moynahan has found happiness with her husband, Andrew Frankel. They quickly bonded after a friend introduced them to each other.

Moynahan rarely shares details about their marriage publicly. The couple has been together for nine years and continues to nurture their relationship while balancing careers and family life.

Moynahan and Frankel tied the knot on October 17, 2015, at Wölffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, New York, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family, including Moynahan's son.

To announce their union, she posted a photo on Instagram of the happy couple holding hands and smiling, captioned, "Oh, by the way, guess what I just did."

Their vineyard wedding reflected the couple's preference for simplicity and ease. According to their wedding planners, the couple wanted the event to feel more like a large family dinner party than a traditional wedding.

Since tying the knot, Moynahan has enjoyed her relationship with Frankel. She said of her husband, "I met a really solid, good human being with none of the pretension or all that other litter. He's a really good person and a good partner."

She emphasized that these qualities, often undervalued in favor of more superficial traits, were what truly mattered in a relationship.

Moynahan's husband has worked in the stock market. He is the Co-President of the institutional brokerage firm Stuart Frankel & Co., and has been with the company since 1993. He earned a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and started his career at Steinhardt Partners.
