Gisele Bündchen is a world-renowned supermodel and the ex-wife of legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
But Bündchen has made some news recently for all the wrong reasons.
And this disturbing video of supermodel Gisele Bündchen will make your stomach turn.
A distraught Bündchen caught on police body cam footage
A police officer in Surfside, Florida, recently pulled over Gisele Bündchen for driving erratically.
The officer immediately recognized Bündchen, who quickly grew emotional.
The supermodel said she was only swerving all over the road to avoid a paparazzi photographer who had been trailing her since Miami.
“I was just trying to stay [away] from that guy,” Bündchen told the officer as she broke down in tears.
The officer responded by telling her he would let her off with a warning, but that he simply couldn’t do anything about the paparazzi since he began following her in Miami, which was not in his jurisdiction.
“Yeah, but he’s, like, stalking me,” Bündchen responded.
The officer told her she could file a police report in Miami Beach if she wanted to take action against the photographer.
This response led Bündchen to express her great frustration with having the tabloids follow her every move.
“I’m so tired,” Bündchen told the police officer. “Everywhere I go I have these f***ing guys after me. Nothing protects me. I can’t do nothing. I just want to live my life.”
The cop then told the famed supermodel that his hands were tied.
“I can’t prevent them from doing their job, which is to take pictures,” the officer told Bündchen.
“I don’t know how that’s allowed,” Bündchen replied.

Aggressive Paparazzi encounters can turn deadly
Bündchen has every right to be upset, and concerned.
While normally paparazzi are just a nuisance celebrities deal with in exchange for a life of wealth and fame, that isn’t always the case.
Photographers aggressively stalk celebrities’ every move in the hopes of snapping that golden photo they can sell to supermarket checkout line tabloids.
But the paparazzi are not always just a mere annoyance for the rich and famous.
Encounters on the road with paparazzi – like the one Bündchen experienced – can, and sometimes do, turn deadly.
Most famously, in 1997, Princess Di and her boyfriend Dodi Al-fayed died in a car crash in a tunnel as the paparazzi engaged the couple in a high-speed chase through the streets of Paris.
Bündchen can consider herself lucky all she got for her trouble was a warning for erratic driving.
The paparazzi don’t respect personal space or privacy.
Their job is to get that picture no matter what.
And celebrities are forced to deal with the unfortunate fact of life that these photographers can hound them everywhere they go.
It’s part of the price of fame.
