Gisele Bündchen isn’t letting public scrutiny get to her.
The supermodel said in a new interview that she does not think about the renewed interest in her private life after her divorce from Tom Brady.
“I can’t really worry about what other people say about me because what they say about me is none of my business,” she told Harper’s Bazaar for her February 2024 cover story, published Wednesday.
“It’s really their business that they’re trying to project onto me,” Bündchen continued.
“If I’m going to be affected by that, I’m never going to live my truth. … When you’re trying to be this person who tries to please and tries to be accepted and tries to get that from the outside world, you’re never going to be truly who you are.”
