Police bodycam footage shows why Gisele was crying after traffic stop in Surfside

Supermodel­s have off days, too.

Gisele Bundchen was driving her gray Mercedes G Wagon in Surfside on Wednesday and was pulled over, TMZ reports.

Shaky cellphone footage by an onlooker shows part of the incident. Bundchen, wearing a white cap, is in the driver’s seat as an officer approaches.

The clip shows Bundchen wiping at her eyes, looking emotional.

New bodycam footage obtained by WPLG-ABC 10 shows what went down.

You can see the officer giving Bundchen back her documents and telling her he will give her a “courtesy,” meaning no citation. The nature of the alleged traffic violation is unclear.

“Thank you,” she responds. “I’m just trying to stay away from that guy ... [he’s] like stalking me.”

The cop says he “understand­s” and knows who she is. He then advises her to file a police report in Miami Beach because that is where the alleged pap was apparently coming from.

“OK, there’s more,” says the Brazilian, breaking down in tears.

“I’m sorry,” he says. “There’s nothing I can do about that.”

The Miami Herald reached out to the Miami Beach PD on Thursday to see if Bundchen filed a report, but did not immediatel­y hear back.

Bundchen owns two homes in Surfside — an $11.5 million, five-bedroom mansion as well as a $1.25 million, three-bedroom “cottage.”

The 43-year-old mom of two is just across the way from her ex, NFL icon Tom Brady, a resident of Indian Creek Village, aka Billionair­e Bunker.

She is often photograph­ed out and about with their two kids and with new boyfriend, fellow Brazilian Joaquim Valente.
