Gisele Bundchen proved herself a supportive football wife last week when an e-mail she sent to friends was leaked -- in the e-mail, she asked them to pray for hubby Tom Brady’s success at Sunday’s Super Bowl. But, the Patriots lost -- and she lost it.
The Insider has footage of Bundchen right after the game. Fans are heckling her -- one yells, “Eli owns your husband!”
BUNDCHEN: “He didn’t catch the ball when he was supposed to catch the ball. My husband can not f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.”
With the headline, “Gisele Rips Pats Receivers,” WTVJ writes ...
“Gisele Bundchen didn’t wait long to start the blame game.”
A writer for MidWestSportsFans calls the comment “dumb,” saying Bundchen should know that -- as a celebrity, she’s always being watched ...
“And she also must understand how important the concept of TEAM is to the Patriots ... To throw Brady’s receivers under the bus like that undermines the win-as-a-team-lose-as-a-team mantra Brady himself espouses constantly.”
But The Province says Bundchen was just saying what was on all Patriots’ fans minds.
“...saying what a lot of non-supermodels not married to Super Bowl-losing quarterbacks were also thinking. … she wasn’t saying anything the team didn’t know.”
And TMZ reports there’s already backlash from the team.
“Tom’s teammates feel betrayed by Gisele’s behavior … Gisele’s pot shot violated the [team’s] code -- which is basically ... win as a team, lose as a team. As one source put it, ‘It’s like knocking someone when they are down.’”
