GISELE BUNDCHEN HIRES LAWYER


By Liz Hodgson - Posted on 18 October 2009

Pregnant supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady have hired lawyers to defend themselves in a federal lawsuit.
Photographers Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles are suing the Brazilian beauty, 29, and her American football star Brady, 32, claiming they were fired on by security guards after the couple's wedding party in April.
Bundchen and Brady actually married in a simple Catholic ceremony in Santa Monica, California, in February.
They then had a second bash in Costa Rica, where the two men were found hiding in bushes trying to get pictures of the pair.
At the time they claimed they were ordered to hand over still and video images to security because Bundchen had done a deal for exclusive coverage with a Brazilian magazine.
They refused and fled to their waiting car, and say a security guard shot at them, with a bullet shattering the rear window and passing between the two men.
It was unclear if the newlyweds were aware of the shooting.
Now Bundchen and Brady, quarterback for the Boston-based New England Patriots have hired heavyweight New York lawyers J Peter Coll and Seth Cohen.
They have to file a legal response by December 2 – about the time she is expecting her baby.
