Veteran talk show host Skip Bayless is back to one of his regular acts: Taking shots at Tom Brady. And this time, his wife is involved too.

After his recent tweet called Brady out for allegedly partying on yachts with supermodels, Bayless decided to involve his better half in Brady-bashing. During the latest instalment of his self-produced YouTube series, Bayless brought out his wife, Ernestine Sclafani, for a couple-powered edition.
And Sclafani didn’t let Skip’s audience down. The remarks of the two were on Brady’s appearance. “He left football, and I don’t even know who this guy is,” Bayless remarked to open things.
“He doesn’t look the same,” Sclafani blurted in reply. “Yea. You always refer to him as sort of a Frankenstein,” Bayless confirmed.
Sclafani then speculated that Brady has likely undergone multiple cosmetic procedures. “I guess he’s done a lot of work. Whether it’s filler, or Botox, or what. He doesn’t look like the guy that was on the field,” she suggested. Bayless and Sclafani are possibly right on the money here.
According to Dr. Elie Levine, one of New York City’s premier plastic surgeons, Bayless’ wife is likely much more correct than she realizes. When you start to examine Brady’s hairline, lack of wrinkles, and his general facial volume as a whole, the evidence is pretty damning.
“One of the signs of having a heavy brow is that you have to use your forehead muscles a lot more to elevate that brow. The only way you wouldn’t do that is if there’s some neuromodulator involved. So something like Botox definitely appears to be in use here… Having too good a hairline, which he has for his age, it looks unnatural. It looks kind of off. And so, there’s no question that his hair has improved or changed,” Dr Levine said.
Delving deeper into Brady’s cosmetic transformation, Dr. Levine felt it could be several procedures meticulously done. But he pointed to one key issue that, in his view, disrupts the natural harmony of Brady’s appearance.
“Do I think that his Botox has been done well? I do. Do I think that his laser work has been done well? Yes. Do I think that his fillers have been good? I don’t think they’ve been great,” Dr. Levine said candidly.
According to Dr. Levine, the problem lies in an imbalance created by the increase in volume in the upper face while neglecting the midface and lower regions. That approach, he explained, can lead to a visual disconnect.
“There has to be at least some focus on the lower and midface so that you don’t create this disharmony and disconnect from the upper and lower face,” explained Dr. Levine. “And that hasn’t been achieved.”
Dr. Levine also suggested that the majority of Brady’s cosmetic changes likely took place after his retirement in 2023. He was 45 at the time. That’s the phase and age when many high-profile figures pursue noticeable aesthetic updates.
Of course, these likely aren’t the kinds of speculations that Brady would appreciate. After all, he is a middle-aged man who is also a somewhat freshly minted divorcee. So personal appearance is probably a more sensitive topic for him right now.
