Gisele Bündchen was recently involved in a distressing incident in Miami-Dade County, where she broke down in tears during a traffic stop. The supermodel claimed that she was being stalked by paparazzi, leading to an emotional encounter with the police.
During the encounter, captured on body cam footage, Bündchen tearfully expressed her frustration, stating that she felt overwhelmed and pursued by photographers. Despite her plea for help, the officer informed her that he could not intervene as the paparazzi were simply doing their job.
The traffic stop occurred while Bündchen was driving her black Mercedes G-Wagon, although the specific reason for the stop remains undisclosed. Surfside Police confirmed that it was related to a traffic violation.
Earlier that day, Bündchen was seen enjoying a walk with her dog in her Miami neighborhood and inspecting renovations on her $11.5 million Indian Creek mansion with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The couple, who have been romantically involved since June 2021, were described as 'madly in love' by sources.
Bündchen, who shares two children with her ex-husband Tom Brady, has been navigating life post-divorce since their split in October 2022. The former NFL star, who also has a son from a previous relationship, has been supportive of Bündchen's new relationship despite some discrepancies in the timeline of her romance with Valente.
As the incident with the paparazzi sheds light on the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining their privacy, Bündchen's emotional reaction serves as a reminder of the pressures that come with fame and public scrutiny.
