The 40-year-old comedian made a series of quips about Gisele's love life during 'The Roast of Tom Brady', the Netflix special that poked fun at Gisele's ex-husband

Nikki told PEOPLE: "I have a feeling that Gisele wasn't that happy with what I had said."
The stand-up star actually debated whether it was right to joke about the blonde beauty, who was married to Tom between 2009 and 2022.
Nikki said: "I mentioned her in a joke, which I did question because she wasn't there, and it's like, 'She's not asking for this.' But then I remembered that she's the hottest person in the world, and I go, 'She can probably handle it'.
"Which obviously is a joke, but at the same time, yeah, I heard that she maybe wasn't happy with some jokes. I don't know if it was mine in particular, but I think that was fair."
On reflection, Nikki regrets making fun of the 44-year-old model.
She said: "I think that comedy is always going to upset someone. And I think if I were her, I would've been annoyed too. So I give her that 100 percent. And if I ever met her, I would definitely apologise for hurting her feelings if she was indeed upset about it.
"But I don't mind it. If someone's offended, they're offended. I am never someone that's like, 'It's a joke. Get over it.' I will apologise for jokes I make, because I don't always get it right. And I try to punch up, not punch down and just say what everyone's thinking without really ruining anyone's life or reputation."
