AceShowbiz - Gisele Bundchen has encouraged social media users to "be kind" after she opened up about cheating rumors. The former Victoria's Secret Angel shared a cryptic quote about "pain" and "traumas" after shutting down claims, which suggested that she cheated on Tom Brady with Joaquim Valente prior to her and Tom's divorce.
On Monday, April 1, the 43-year-old supermodel uploaded via Instagram Stories a photo featuring a message, which was written by a Brazilian writer named Wandy Luz, in the Brazilian language. Under it, she provided an English translation to the note.
The English translation read, "You look at a person and can't imagine the story they carry - the pains, traumas, fears. Just as we can't even imagine how strong, capable, and resilient someone is, behind smiles and glances are achievements and victories."
"There are people and moments they overcome and dreams and desires to be achieved. There's so much you'll never know," it continued. "So, be kind whenever you can."
The Story came around one week after Gisele broke her silence on speculations suggesting that she cheated on Tom with Joaquim. Speaking to The New York Times in late March, she simply stated, "That is a lie." She went on to explain, "I really don't want to make my life a tabloid, I don't want to open myself up to all of that."
The blonde beauty further elaborated, "This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful. They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified."
Gisele was responding to rumors about infidelity in her past marriage with Tom. In February, it was reported that he "believes" that she and Joaquim "started dating" in June 2021, one year before the retired NFL player and the model's 2022 divorce. In contrast, PEOPLE confirmed that she and Joaquim became a couple in June 2023.
