Gisele Bundchen and Eight Other Women Who Stand by Their Men

Wikipedia

Tammy Wynette would be proud.

​Can we all stop hating on Gisele Bundchen? The lady has had a pretty stressful week. First she had to watch her husband, Tom Brady, completely choke in his starring role on the most-watched TV show of all time. Then she had to pretend she thought he did a really excellent job. Cameras captured her assuring him, "You played the best game of your life" -- without laughing. We shouldn't be condemning her; we should be awarding her the damn Oscar.

Besides, with her pro-Brady, anti-all-other-Patriots remarks, Gisele joins a long line of ladies who've stood by their men through extremely tough times. From their husbands' infidelities, addictions, and general asshattery, some girls have mastered the art of loyalty -- or at least the art of denial. So welcome to the Stand by Your Man Club, Gisele. Here's a look at your fellow members.

It can't be easy being married to a power-hungry serial wife-dumper who wants to build you a dream house on the moon. It's probably why her eyes look like that.

​Hillary Clinton
Next to JFK, Bill Clinton is the most flagrant womanizer in presidential history. You'd think that fact would earn Hillary a vote of sympathy. But you'd be wrong.

​Nicole Kidman
She comes across as a real ice queen on the big screen, but husband Keith Urban credits Kidman with getting him off drugs. We guess the country music cliché is true: The love of a good woman can save you from anything. Yee-haw.

You're expecting a joke about Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease here, aren't you? Man, you are a dick.
