Rob Gronkowski Once Made TV Star Steve Harvey Have a Breakdown On Live TV After Destroying His Prized Possession

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was once in deep hot water among fans following a segment with legendary TV host Steve Harvey. Gronk and Harvey were part of the 2020 New Year’s Eve celebration, where Harvey had an impressive LEGO bust of himself. However, during the broadcast, the 4-time Super Bowl champion proceeds to destroy the bust into a hundred pieces with his signature touchdown celebration in front of Harvey.

While fans were perplexed at what had transpired, Harvey, on the air, appeared having a breakdown after the shattering of his bust. Harvey reacting to seeing the incident shocked on-air, states, “Are you serious? I don’t wanna work with him no more. Why is he here? Why are you here?”

It split the fans online, with some enjoying the moment while others called Gronk out for being insensitive towards Harvey.

But it turns out that the whole ordeal was just a skit for Harvey to get rid of the artifact in the easiest way possible. He revealed some details about the night after talking to TMZ, stating, “That was an act, man. Gronk’s a cool dude. I like him. My wife ain’t gonna let me put no LEGO statue of myself up in our house, anyway. Yeah, it was going to be in the trash.”

Rob Gronkowski was playing out his part to help Steve Harvey

It was the former Patriots TE helping Harvey, who was never going to hold any grudges towards Gronk but was presenting some convincing acting. Since then, the LEGO Gronk Spike was all in good fun and something that was part of Gronk’s work after retiring early on following Super Bowl LIII. Apart from co-hosting the New Year’s Eve celebration, he made appearances during the Thursday night NFL games with FOX.
