“That’s f*cking weird”: Sophie Cunningham sounds off on Tom Brady cloning his dog with previous pet Lua’s blood

NFL legend Tom Brady made headlines on Tuesday when he said that his dog Junie is a clone of a "beloved" family pet, Lua, who died in December 2023. Brady shared the news with an announcement from Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company that he has invested in to push genetic engineering.

When WNBA star Sophie Cunningham caught wind of Brady cloning Junie with Lua, she slammed the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback for doing some "weird sh*t."

"I don't have a problem with him (Brady), but he does some weird sh*t," Cunningham said on her "Show Me Something" podcast with West Wilson on Thursday (Timestamp: 12:00).

Cuningham, who won the WNBA Commissioner's Cup with the Indiana Fever earlier this year, doubled down on rich people doing weird stuff.

"This is why rich people do weird sh*t, because they have f*cking money and they just find ways to do weird sh*t," Cunningham said.

Brady said Texas-based Colossal Biosciences had created Junie using a blood draw that was taken from pit bull mix Lua, before she died.

While announcing his partnership with Colossal Biosciences, Tom Brady expressed his love for animals and praised the company.

“I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family,” Brady said. “A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed.”

Brady played in the NFL for 23 years. He spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls.

Brady also spent three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading the franchise to Super Bowl glory in 2021.

Brady retired from the NFL in February 2023. Apart from his seven Super Bowl wins, the iconic QB holds several NFL records.

Brady is currently in his second year serving as an announcer/analyst for Fox.
