Attorney Lexie Rigden of Rigden Law LLC told Nicki Swift that this popular theory about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce might not hold water. “In divorce cases, the parties generally have to disclose all of their assets and liabilities, and will have an agreement outlining who receives which assets and who is responsible for which liabilities,” Rigden told us. “So, divorce wouldn’t be a good way to hide anything. Simply getting divorced would also not necessarily shield one or both of the parties from liability against third parties. Since Tom and Giselle were both named as Defendants in the suit, their divorce should not matter much in terms of any possible recovery for the Plaintiffs.” Rigden added that had only Brady been mentioned in the class-action lawsuit, this would be plausible, but since they are both named, it’s more likely that their divorce truly came about due to irreconcilable differences.
Family law attorney Holly Davis of Kirker Davis LLP also told Nicki Swift that some details from the theory seem plausible. “The fact that Tom and Gisele divorced so quickly in the public eye was surprising, and knowing that they scheduled a hastily made and disruptive-to-football trip (Brady missed 11 straight days of preseason training camp) to the Bahamas in early August indicates to me at least some knowledge of the impending collapse of FTX,” Davis said. However, Davis notes, they had been having relationship issues long before FTX hit headlines, again casting some doubt on this popular TikTok theory.
