Chelsea Handler Calls Out Tom Brady as a ‘Total Dud’ Who Is Not ‘Hot’

Chelsea Handler has a type — and it’s not legendary quarterback Tom Brady.

“I saw that picture,” Handler, 50, said during a Wednesday, January 7, appearance on Sirius XM’s Page Six Radio while discussing Brady’s New Year run in with Alix Earle. “I have no interest in Tom Brady. I don’t find him dynamic, hot, interesting, or fun. I find him so boring.”

The comedian continued, “I think he’s a total dud. I couldn’t, I mean, so I don’t have any thoughts.”

Handler added that she doesn’t know anything about Earle, 25, either, so their potential connection doesn’t appeal to her.

“I don’t really know that [much] about Alix Earle. So, I don’t care to answer your question. Do I need to expound?” she quipped.

Handler shared that she’s also not interested in men who appear to only care about vanity.

“It’s nice for men like that to just have sex whenever they want with whomever they want,” she said.

Handler’s diss comes a week after the former football player, 48, was spotted at a New Year’s Eve party with Earle in St. Barths. The pair were photographed looking cozy as they rang in 2026 at a nightclub.

“Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month. “They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”

While Earle and Brady appeared to have a flirty dynamic, the insider maintained that the influencer is not in a rush to date anyone new. Weeks before New Years, Us confirmed Earle split from boyfriend Braxton Berrios.

“It’s nothing serious between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and partying, enjoying themselves,” the source added, noting that Earle “needed” a fun trip following her split.

Ahead of her New Year’s getaway, Earle addressed her and Berrios’ break up.

“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she shared in the December 2025 video. “We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t got to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”

Handler is not the only person to publicly diss Brady. Sports commentator Skip Bayless, one of Brady’s most outspoken supporters, slammed the athlete for decisions he’s made since his 2023 retirement.

“He’s now a crucial minority owner with a majority opinion of the Raiders. And he’s actually their chief advisor, sort of their unofficial GM,” Bayless explained during a January episode of “The Skip Bayless Show.” “And that really offended me because you can’t be a Fox broadcaster [or]commentator and do your job correctly if you’re going to choose to own a big slice of the team that’s worth $300 million. It’s just ridiculous.”

Bayless added that Brady was unimpressive as a broadcaster and doing strange advertisements.

“He’s so blah, he’s terribly blah. It’s all captain obvious, silly, lame. He tries to be funny, it’s just goofy. He’s not cut out to be a broadcaster to start with, and they’re trying to prop him up,” he continued. “Now popping up in the middle of my games is Tom Brady doing Pizza Hut delivery boy commercials. He’s delivering, ‘Hut hut!’ He’s doing his football cadence. It’s pathetic. Do you really need to stoop to that, Tom? He’s as unsuccessful post-football as he was successful during football. That’s what’s happening to Tom Brady.”
