This year, the MET Gala had a big absentee: Gisele Bundchen. The Brazilian supermodel, who usually graces the red carpet with her beauty at the charity event that kicks off the annual fashion exhibition of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, missed the mark, despite the fact that I was waiting for your presence. Her excuse was that she had to stay in Miami, from where she had been working tirelessly to help her home state, Rio Grande do Sul, which was suffering the most devastating floods in her history. However, several sources indicated that the reason for her absence was much more private and delicate.
That week, the model who opened the doors of the world to the crop of Brazilian supermodels, such as Ana Beatriz Barros, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, She became, without having sought it, the center of attention and the butt of jokes made to her ex-husband, American football player Tom Brady..
The athlete was the protagonist of a special program broadcast by Netflix in which figures of the stature of Kevin Hart, Julian Edelman, Kim Kardashian and Nikki Glaser, among others, whose sole purpose was to prank him. According to People magazine, after the broadcast, the model felt “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family”. For her, what happened during the program was clearly a smear campaign against him, based on sexism and unpleasant nationalismto which, at the very least, the father of her children lent herself.
“Gisele slept with her karate coach. Tom, how did you not see this coming? “Eight karate classes a day?” Kevin Hart shot at one point in the special. The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady. The comedian also revealed that the reason for the separation of Brady and the top Brazilian was his decision to play American football again after announcing his retirement: “You deserve the single life, because you didn’t have a choice. Gisele gave you an ultimatum, told you to leave or it’s over. (…) When you have the opportunity to do 8-9 and the only thing you can lose is your wife and your children, you have to do whatever the hell you have to do.
During the special, there were several guest personalities who hinted that the breakup had been triggered by Bündchen’s romance with the jiu-jitsu coach. Joaquim Valentesomething that she has already vehemently denied on several occasions, ensuring that one relationship began when the other had already ended.
“How much it must suck for Tom, my god, to know that your ex-wife’s new boyfriend could hit your c… while eating hers,” was one of the “jokes” that Nikki Glasser made during the live broadcast , while the camera focused on Brady’s reactions. She also expressed that the only “dummiest” thing the athlete did was tell Bündchen to “try jiu-jitsu.”
That program, apparently, not only momentarily distanced the 43-year-old model from public life, but also ended up taking her new love away from her. As reported by Page Six, Bündchen and Valente decided to end their relationship, due to the annoying repercussions of the Netflix cycle.
On Thursday, a source told InTouch Weekly that “suddenly they found themselves in the spotlight” and it was “too much” for the 34-year-old coach. “Joaquim is a normal guy. He is not used to scandals or public ridicule“said someone close to the couple.
While it’s unclear exactly when they broke up, Bündchen and Valente have not been publicly shown together since late April. “Since the program aired, Joaquim became part of the joke. In fact, people started asking her if he was the reason for her divorce. And he hated that.“, indicated a source to the American media. And he indicated that by accepting the program to take place, “Brady put a target on Joaquim’s back.”
After the broadcast of the program, the American footballer tried to distance himself from what happened, and assured that he did not like how his family – he and Búndchen are parents of Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 – was affected, and assured If he could go back in time, he wouldn’t do it. However, those around the top model say that she feels that, once again, “Brady put his fame before interest in his loved ones” and they understand that his intention was, precisely, to hurt the mother of his children.
