Bündchen draws anger over ‘multitaski­ng’ Twitter photo

-

WHILE celebrity television gushed, supermodel Gisele Bündchen has been mocked by ordinary mothers for bragging about breastfeed­ing her baby daughter while a team of stylists fussed over her hair, makeup and nails.

After the supermodel, 33, posted a pic on Instagram on Tuesday showing her feeding daughter Vivian, 11 months, while simultaneo­usly getting her hair, makeup and nails done – and complainin­g that she’d only had three hours sleep – it was only a matter of time until someone poked fun at the Brazilian bombshell.

Britain’s Daily Mail attacked the Brazilian beauty, saying for sheer smugness, she was in a league of her own.

Bündchen asked in the cap- tion “What would I do without this beauty squad after 15 hours of flying and only three hours of sleep?” She also added the hashtag ‘#multitaski­ng’ to her message, sent out to her 1.6 million Twitter followers.

She attracted controvers­y a year or so ago when she said that it should be illegal for mothers not to feed their children the way nature intended until they were at least six months old.

Women have reacted angrily on the Mail’s website to her latest pictures. One said: “Honey, you are NOT multitaski­ng. It’s your army of stylists, nannies, cleaning ladies, chefs, drivers… Ask a mother who has to work a regular job AND be a mother and housewife at the same time.” – Daily Mail
