Not pretty enough: Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen exposes fashion industry's brutal bullying for being too ugly
Before she was one of the world's highest-paid and most recognizable supermodels, Gisele Bündchen faced a reality that didn't align with glossy runways or magazine covers — she was bullied for her appearance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a candid 2016 interview with The New York Times, Bündchen revealed that her career was not built on conventional beauty but on resilience, energy, and unshakable drive. Gisele Bündchen spoke openly about her early struggles and childhood insecurities Years before she ruled the fashion world, Bündchen was a tall, athletic girl from Brazil, often teased by classmates for being skinny, red-faced from volleyball, and having a 'big nose.' The model recalled, 'My career was never based on pretty. Even before I got into the business, I was used to being bullied because I was always tall and skinny and stuck out.' For Bündchen, bullying became a formative experience — one that shaped her character and drive more than any runway ever could. Her story is far from the fairy tale many imagine. Even after entering the modeling world, she was told her eyes were too small, her nose too big, and that she'd never land on a magazine cover. 'But, you know what? The big nose is coming with a big personality,' she quipped. That personality and work ethic would eventually silence critics and turn her into an icon. Success didn't come from beauty alone — it came from drive, discipline, and determination Bündchen's success wasn't accidental. Leaving home at just 14, she was determined to make something of herself — a mindset she credits to her upbringing in a large family of six girls. 'I'm a twin, I'm a Cancer, I'm always taking care of other people. I've always been the fixer in the family, the responsible one,' she shared. Her discipline was unmatched: 'Never late for a job in my life. Really, ask anyone.' null Her big break came when legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier cast her for Harper's Bazaar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Despite skepticism from others on set, Demarchelier remembered her spark clearly: 'She was smart and outgoing, always happy... Immediately, right away, you could see that the girl was special.' Also Read: Looking back, Gisele Bündchen's rise wasn't about fitting in — it was about standing out. Her throwback story remains a powerful reminder that success is often born not from perfection, but from perseverance, personality, and proving the doubters wrong.

Tom Brady's ‘summer romance' with Sofia Vergara revealed after viral yacht photo
Could this be the start of a new Modern Family? Retired NFL great Tom Brady and actress Sofia Vergara have been spending time together in Ibiza, Spain, Page Six reported on Tuesday. One source described the situation to the outlet as a 'summer romance,' which began roughly a week ago on the Luminara superyacht and the pair continued to spend time together in Ibiza following the trip on the yacht. While on the yacht, Brady and Vergara were reportedly googly-eyed over one another at a gala dinner and the seven-time Super Bowl champion even asked to sit next to her – the pair were photographed next to each other at a table, and it set the internet a blaze. 'He asked to switch seats to sit next to her at dinner,' the source told Page Six. Reps for Brady and Vergara did not comment when reached by Page Six. Vergara has posted a number of snaps from her trip to Ibiza on her Instagram but has not published any with Brady in them. The football superstar and the Hollywood A-lister are both single following divorces from their significant others in recent years, with Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen splitting in 2022 and Vergara and ex Joe Manganiello ending their seven-year marriage in 2024. News of the summer romance between Brady and Vergara comes after Brady made headlines last month after sharing a dance with another Hollywood star, Sydney Sweeney, at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Italy. Brady was also photographed last Thursday on a yacht in Ibiza, celebrating producer Mohammed Al Turki's 39th birthday alongside stars Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson. Among some of Brady's summer highlights are spending time with his daughter Vivian, whom he shares with Bündchen, and the ex-Patriots and Buccaneers QB shared a video of he and his daughter jumping off the side of a yacht.
