Gisele Bundchen Defends Tom Brady Against Super Bowl Loss

UPDATE-Gisele Bundchen, the highest paid supermodel ever, is garnering more attention than her husband Tom Brady ahead of the Super Bowl XLVI.

Brady, a quarterback for the New England Patriots will battle against the Eli Manning and the New York Giants. But it appears that news is only secondary. Cue in Gisele’s latest shoot for Versace. A nearly topless and provocative photo shot by photographers Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas in Borrego Springs, California.

In addition to the sexy ad, Gisele also got the media’s attention when the NY Post intercepted a private email asking friends and family to pray for Brady’s victory.

“This Sunday will be a really important day in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this Super Bowl.”

“So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this Sunday. Thank you for your love and support. Love, G :).”

Will Gisele’s prayer be enough for the Patriots to claim Super Bowl victory?

UPDATE: If you haven’t heard yet – Tom Brady and the New England Patriots lost! As Gisele made her way to comfort her husband fans began shouting “Eli owns your husband.” Bundchen turned to a friend and stated, “My husband can not f****ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
