Gisele Bundchen Shops Controversy Away
While the American media debated her “racially charged” Vogue cover, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen shopped the day away in the Balearic Island of Ibiza.
The April issue of the popular fashionista magazine has caused controversy in the States due to a King Kong reference.
The cover, which is graced by Gisele and Lebron James (one of the world’s top basketball players), depicts LeBron dribbling a basketball with an angry game face pose and holding Miss Bundchen by the waist.
The spark behind the controversy is that assorted leaders and journalists have claimed that the photo is reminiscent of the stereotypes that feed into the public’s perception of the black male.
LeBron is compared to King Kong, and Gisele is compared to the white woman in distress.
Enjoy the pictures of Gisele out shopping in Ibiza (March 25).
