Ben Affleck went off the rails while appearing on Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady. Viewers could not believe the Batman star’s outrageous rant. The other guests looked somewhat alarmed and slightly embarrassed for the A-List celebrity, while Tom Brady took it all with stride. While the guest of honor may be ready to forgive and forget Ben’s rage, his fans are not so forgiving.
Ben Affleck Calls Social Media ‘The Most Toxic Thing’ He’s Experienced
Social media is not one of Ben Affleck’s favorite things. The actor went on a spiel, claiming that Tom Brady had asked him to review his social media accounts, but he couldn’t do so for two hours. Ben then blasted social media as the ‘most toxic thing he’s ever experienced,’ adding, “And that’s saying something.”
According to MovieWeb.com, Ben Affleck appeared seemingly off. “He was sweaty and had an overactive lower jaw, slurring the occasional word. He didn’t seem completely on his game.” Many fans on Twitter began roasting Ben. They slammed the actor, claiming he had not even attempted comedy and was confused as to the point of the roast.
Instead, Ben continued on his agenda. Affleck raged about online football fans.”You there, f**king hiding behind your keyboard,” continued Affleck, “spewing out all this f*cking toxic sh*t about people you’d be afraid to come up to if you saw them at the car wash […] You guys out there talking sh*t, all right behind your f*cking keyboard, that doesn’t make you a fan. That makes you a b*tch.”
Ben Accused of Using Netflix Roast For Personal Agenda
While Ben Affleck continued to stutter along with his rage, the audience looked uncomfortable. So, imagine how poor Tom Brady feels. Ben has a lot of hate toward the keyboard trolls, but sadly, if he thinks his Netflix rant will change how he is perceived on social media, he may want to steer clear of social media from now on.
The Internet is forever and unforgiving, and Ben Affleck’s poor judgment at The Roast of Tom Brady will remain forever. In the end, Ben claims he will likely never work again after this bit. That is probably not the case, but he may want to lay low for a while.
