Mom Vs Stepmom: Bridget's Pals Livid About Gisele's Comments

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

In the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair - which Gisele Bundchen graces the cover, she also speaks of her husband Tom Brady's son, 19-month-old John "Jack" Edward, and how much she loves him.  She says he's 100 percent her son, regardless that he has a mother - Bridget Moynahan.  Now, a friend of Bridget's is speaking out, and she's peeved.

Supermodel Gisele said of baby John, "When we are in LA, we have Johnny 50 percent of the time.  He's a little angel - the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby.  I feel blessed to have him in my life... I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that.  But to me, it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child - I feel it is, 100 percent."

A friend of Bridget's told the New York Post, "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press.  Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom's virtues, as we evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever."

The pal added, "Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrepectful to him and his mother?  If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion.  Is she so desperate for attention that she can't find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget's child?"

So, what do you think?  Do you think what Gisele said was inappropriate or were her comments taken out of context?  Was Gisele just trying to convey the message that she loves her husband's son and didn't mean any disrespect to Bridget?  Or, is it a matter of 'she's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't'?  Meaning... if she didn't say something "loving," then she'd be viewed as the "evil" stepmom or by saying something nice (that she loves John like her own), she's being too pushy?  Or, like the friend said, should Gisele have just left John out of her conversation with Vanity Fair?

I think Gisele truly loves Tom's and Bridget's son, but she should keep her feelings to her family and friends, and she should not talk about the child to the public.  As a mother myself, I would be offended, as I'm sure Bridget is.  The child has only one mother, and its Bridget Moynahan, and all the talking in the world is not going to change that.

First of ALL! Congrats to Tom and Gisele's success.  There is nothing wrong any of the comments that Gisele has made, I mean this story just proves that controversy makes the world go round and it is the only thing that we love.

She says that she loves his little man as if it was her own - SO WHAT!  I guess it would be a better story if she said she had nothing to do with the boy right?

And to say he needs to put her in her place???  You are the disrespectful one, Misery Needs Company - FLYSHYT

If you read the actual vanity fair article, it will become all together clear to you that gisele is a saint.  to be as much of a sport as she has about the child and to go further to say she's loved him as her own since the first day is above and beyond.  She loves children and plans on having many and adopting more like the dogs she already owns.  However, I do believe there is more to this story considering the two, gisele and bridget have never met.  Either way Gisele expresses the importance of the child having a good relationship with his mother and that she respects the fact that she's not his mother.
