A controversial skit featuring Gisele Bündchen apparently being robbed by a black kid from the slums has been dropped from the Olympics opening ceremony.
Gisele Bundchen is one of the many taking part in the opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics.
Gisele, the world’s highest paid supermodel, slid across the main floor of the stadium in a memorable moment that brought the beginning of the Olympic Games to life, accompanied by the iconic tune “The Girl From Ipanema”.
“As I walk down tonight on the longest runway I have ever been on I will be sending out all my love and positivity”. “He’s so supportive. You know, my mom was here and I spoke to her this morning and she was so emotional”.
The 36-year-old stunner was successful, delivering a stunning runway walk – the longest and likely last of her career – at Maracanã Stadium.
“I’m here representing my country”, she said.
Brazil’s interim president Michel Temer spoke briefly to the crowd to officially open the Olympics, but he was greeted by boos from a section of the crowd, reflecting the dissatisfaction of the Brazilian people with the government. “The Olympics in Brazil are going to be a disaster” and I feel like it was the opposite”, she said.
“I think they did such a wonderful job in showing Brazil’s history and essence and all the different colors and Brazil’s music”, she added.

“It makes me emotional!” “And I feel like, not because I’m Brazilian but quite frankly, I feel like it was the most handsome show”.
