The police officer who pulled Gisele Bundchen over has been chastised by a Florida Mayor.
Gisele, a Brazilian supermodel who used to be married to former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, was stopped by an officer in Surfside, Florida, while trying to flee from paparazzi.
While the officer let her go with a warning after pulling her over for a traffic violation, he also told her there was nothing he could do to help her paparazzi situation and that she should file a report with the Miami Beach police.
“I have these [expletive] guys following me, nothing protects me,” she said, breaking down in tears.
“I can’t prevent them from doing their job, which is to take pictures,” the officer replied.
Bodycam footage of the interaction has gone viral online and caught the attention of Surfide Mayor Charles Burkett, who has since written a letter to the officer and the police department.

“This response is wholly unacceptable and not reflective of the values, judgement and service residents expect from their police,” it reads, as shown by WPLG Local 10.
“On the contrary, our police department’s paramount job is to keep our residents safe! The dismissive posture towards a resident who is clearly in distress is everything we do not want to see in the way our police interact and serve our residents.
“I see a recurring pattern that is disturbing that takes me back to a recent meeting where our police union boss, Tammy Campbell saw fit to encourage most of our police force to attend a commission meeting at which she attacked our elected officials because they dared to request the police step up patrols, take the black out tint off their windows, engage our residents and potentially work shifts which leave them more rested.”
Burkett said he supports the police department but wondered whether the “past command staff leadership and union leadership, have lost sight of their mission.”
Gisele Bundchen Has Been In The Spotlight Since Divorcing Tom Brady
Gisele Bundchen has been scrutinized since her widely publicized divorce from Tom Brady.
The paparazzi have shared several photos of her with her and her new partner, Joaquim Valente, over the past year, which went a long way toward exposing her relationship with the jiu-jitsu instructor.
The model has since confirmed having moved on from Brady with Valente, but it doesn’t seem to have put an end to her stalking.
