"I believe that we are all learning" - Recalling the time Tom Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen faced heavy backlash for comments about new generation supermodels Gigi Hadid ad Kendall Jenner

Gisele Bundchen is more than just the wife of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady. She has been walking fashion show runways since 1996, when she made her debut at the iconic New York Fashion Week.

Over the years, she has graced magazine covers, runways and even the silver screen with roles in motion pictures.

As things evolve over the years, so does the modeling industry. In 2018, Bundchen was outspoken on the fact that younger models post pictures to social media platforms. In an interview with Vogue Magazine, she said she would use the platform only to post pictures of sunsets and not personal modeling photographs.

“If it was me, it would only be pictures of sunsets,” Bundchen said in the story. “It’s not my generation — I have to be honest about that. I’m older, wiser. If I had to promote myself in the way girls modeling now have to do, forget it. I wouldn’t do it.”

She then backtracked on her comments by posting an apology on her Twitter account. Bundchen received backlash from fans, saying that Jenner and Hadid used Instagram to help go up in their careers. She added that she comes from a generation that isn't 'savvy' with technology and that she admires the younger models for managing the demands of the industry in this generation.

"I'm sorry that my words in my most recent Vogue article were misunderstood. My intention was simply to express that I come from an older generation and am not technologically savvy. I admire the younger generation and their skill to manage all the added demand of social media. I certainly never feel that I am wiser than anyone, and I believe that we are all learning."

Social media platforms, especially Instagram, have helped younger models become well-known faces in the industry.

Is Gisele Bundchen the reason that Tom Brady took a hiatus from training camp?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady shocked the NFL world when he took an 11-day hiatus from the team's training camp and preseason schedule. At the time, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said that Brady was tending to a personal matter and that the team was made aware of it before players reported to training camp.

After the Buccaneers' final preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, Brady spoke to reporters and of course a big topic was his absence. Tom Brady told reporters that at his age, he has a lot going on and that he tries to handle everything life throws at him.

Many speculated at the time that perhaps his wife Gisele Bundchen was the reason behind his leave of absence. She has been outspoken in the past about her desire for him to retire.

In an interview with British Vogue earlier this year, Bundchen said that while she focuses on their children, Brady has always been very career-driven.

"His focus is on his career, mine is mostly on the kids. It’s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is. It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids."

The comments from Bundchen and then Brady's disappearance from the team have led many to believe that they could be related.
