Columnist Defends Brady, Blasts Bündchen's 'Perfectionism'
6 Oct
Summary
- A columnist defended Tom Brady, questioning Gisele Bündchen's marital expectations.
- The new biography 'An American Story' sparked renewed focus on their divorce.
- The columnist suggested Bündchen fell victim to fashion industry pressures.
A recent opinion piece has vigorously defended NFL star Tom Brady concerning his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The columnist challenged the widely accepted story that Bündchen made sacrifices, like becoming a "Trad Wife," while Brady prioritized football. Instead, the piece suggests Bündchen's own perfectionism and the pervasive influence of the fashion and beauty industries may have played a significant role.
This renewed discussion follows the release of Lars Anderson's biography, "An American Story and the Price of Greatness," which delves into the personal sacrifices Brady made for his career. The biography, published on September 29th, has brought fresh attention to the couple's separation, which was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
The columnist expressed skepticism regarding any suggestion that astrology influenced Bündchen's decision to divorce, stating that such major life choices are not taken lightly. The argument extended to criticizing Bündchen's new husband, a jiu-jitsu instructor, implying a lack of improvement over Brady.
Ultimately, the piece posited that women are often conditioned by consumer culture to be perpetually unsatisfied. It suggested that Bündchen, like many women, may have become a victim of industries that promote constant desire, leading her to believe that material possessions and external validation were necessary for happiness over relationships and loyalty.
