Gisele Bundchen is facing pushback from a Brazilian government official for her environmental activism.

According to the Guardian, Brazil’s agriculture minister, Tereza Cristina Dias, was asked during a Monday interview on a conservative Brazilian radio station about “PR problems” the supermodel allegedly has caused for the country.

“Sorry, Gisele Bündchen,” Diaz said, per multiple reports, in the interview, which was conducted in Portuguese. “You should be an ambassador and say that your country conserves, that your country is on the global vanguard of conservation, and not go around criticizing Brazil without knowing the facts.”

Bundchen has long been outspoken about environmental issues, both in her personal charitable work and by advocating to the Brazilian government. In 2017 she tweeted at Brazil’s then-President Michel Temer to veto proposals she said would threaten 1.5 million acres of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Temer later replied to Bundchen on Twitter to say that he had vetoed the proposals.

More recently, this past November Bundchen tweeted her criticism of a proposal from recently elected Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to merge the environmental ministry with the agricultural ministry, saying it would be “potentially disastrous and a path with no return,” according to the Guardian. (The proposal has not been enacted thus far.)

Diaz was appointed to her role by Bolsonaro, a far-right populist who has been compared to President Donald Trump and was praised by Trump following his election victory. Following her interview on Monday, Diaz tweeted an invitation for Bundchen to become an ambassador for the country.

“I said that Gisele Bündchen could be an ambassador for Brazil to show that we produce agriculture for the world while preserving the environment,” Diaz tweeted in Portuguese, according to a translation from the Guardian. “The model will soon receive our invitation.”

On Wednesday, Gisele posted a statement in Portuguese to Twitter, saying she was “surprised” that she was receiving criticism for “defending and expressing” herself “in favor of the environment.”
