Adriana Lima Defends Gisele Bundchen

After comments she made following husband Tom Brady's loss in Super Bowl XLVI, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen might be feeling pretty lonely out on that limb. Her retort to a Giants fan that her "husband cannot f****ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time" has been met with backlash from Brady's teammates and fans, among others. Luckily for her, Bundchen can rest easy that at least one person is sticking by her — fellow Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima.

"Leave her alone!" Lima told Celebuzz at Wednesday's special Valentine's Event at the Victoria's Secret store in New York City. Lima, who unlike Bundchen rose to new heights Sunday by starring in a steamy Super Bowl commercial for Teleflora.com, probably knows better than anyone what Bundchen is going through, given that she's also married to a pro athlete, NBA player Marko Jaric.

Lima also appeared on Fox News Wednesday to back up her friend. “Being a celebrity, anything you do, you say, you’re being followed,” she said on Fox & Friends, adding: "It was a huge game, you know things happen.”
