“She Could Afford to Be Dumb”: NFL World Dismiss Gisele Bündchen for Characterizing Herself as a Victim in FTX Scam Months After Breakup With Tom Brady

Last year, in November, the business world saw one of the biggest debacles, as the cryptocurrency exchange company named FTX had gone bankrupt. Notably, both Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady invested heavily in this company; after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November last year, plenty of people lost a pretty significant amount of money, including the celebrity duo. Months after that, Bündchen opened up about the whole FTX controversy in an interview with Vanity Fair. However, it seems that fans are not happy with the supermodel’s explanation.

In the interview, Bündchen admitted that she made a mistake by trusting the company; however, many fans are not buying her excuse, as she portrayed herself as the victim in this case.
