The supermodel says she 'could have taken a pill' to curb her panic attacks, a comment critics say shames those who use antidepressants.
In a new interview with the Observer, supermodel Gisele Bündchen opens up about the lifestyle she says makes her “happier in my life,” from adhering to a strict, primarily plant-based diet to practicing yoga and meditation. But her remarks about having the “discipline” to commit to an extreme wellness overhaul — which she credits with curing her anxiety and panic attacks — have riled up critics who say she’s shaming those who use antidepressants or lack the resources to follow her lead.
Bündchen says her 2018 book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, was a way to help bring more “awareness” to the practices she swears by. The 39-year-old also opens up about her marriage to quarterback Tom Brady and her commitment to the environment. “I think, for me, it’s more about the way I feel, you know what I mean? It’s like, I breastfed my kids for three years each because I felt it was the most important thing I could do and I wanted to give my children and myself that experience — you’re not going to have that again,” she says. “Yes, it’s going to make your body change, yes, I can work out to be fit and feel good and rejuvenated, but I can’t change the fact that both my kids liked the left boob.
“Oh get to f*** Gisele,” writer Bella Mackie tweeted. “You’re not better than other people cos you didn’t take antidepressants. You didn’t become less anxious in a ‘better’ way than those who need meds.”
