Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend Camille Kostek calls out Patriots' toxic WAG culture that Gisele Bündchen never said out loud
Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend Camille Kostek revealed the pressures she faced within the New England Patriots' WAG circle (Getty Images) In a rare, brutally honest reflection, Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend Camille Kostek has exposed the hidden pressures and silent judgment she endured as part of the New England Patriots' WAG (wives and girlfriends) circle—offering a glimpse into the exclusive, often toxic world behind the Super Bowl dynasty's polished image. Camille Kostek opens up about exclusion within the Patriots ' social circle 'I don't want to be in a room where people talk behind your back,' Camille Kostek admitted in a recent interview, referencing her discomfort navigating the Foxborough social scene. While fans celebrated victories, she says she was battling subtle but relentless scrutiny—especially for not having a ring from Rob Gronkowski and for pursuing her own thriving modeling career. Silent judgment and unspoken expectations behind the scenes For Kostek, the unspoken hierarchy within the Patriots' social sphere became painfully clear. 'It was almost like if you're not at every single foundation or charitable event, you don't belong.' She often felt isolated and unwelcomed, even while sitting in Bill Belichick's suite alongside Linda Holliday. 'It wasn't like anyone said, 'You can't sit with us.' It just felt that way,' she said. It wasn't until Gronk signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that Camille says she finally felt embraced. 'The Bucs wives just embraced me from the first moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I felt seen,' she shared, contrasting the warmth in Tampa with the aloofness she endured in New England. Gisele Bündchen stayed above it all, but never really part of it Perhaps most revealing was her mention of Gisele Bündchen. 'Gisele did her own thing,' she said, explaining how the supermodel's global career and family life placed her on the periphery of the Patriots' inner circle. 'I never knew where she was… but when we did talk, it was like we'd known each other forever.' Kostek's comments pull back the curtain on the subtle power dynamics and image-driven politics NFL partners face. While rings and appearances seem to rule, her story—and Gisele's quiet independence—suggests that real strength may lie in walking your own path, no matter the whispers behind closed doors.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New England Patriots made a lot of changes during the 2025 NFL offseason. Those changes started at the very top of the team. Right after the final game of the 2024 season, Robert Kraft made the swift decision to fire head coach Jerod Mayo. To replace him, the Patriots moved quickly to hire former New England star linebacker and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. Vrabel will be looking to take the team back to contention. He's a strong head coach who has already made clear changes to the team's culture. Rob Gronkowski speaks onstage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 20, 2025 in New York City.

The front office made quite a few moves, including signing wide receiver Stefon Diggs, pass rusher Harold Landry III, linebacker Robert Spillane, cornerback Carlton Davis III, offensive tackle Morgan Moses, defensive tackle Milton Williams, and wide receiver Mack Hollins. During the 2025 NFL Draft, the Patriots made more key additions. Will Campbell, the standout offensive tackle from LSU, was their first-round selection. Following all of the offseason movement, team legend Rob Gronkowski has spoken out with a bold take about New England's upcoming 2025 NFL season. "I think Mike Vrabel is doing an excellent job so far. I mean, you really can't question any of the moves that he has done this year in free agency and the draft; I think they smacked it out of the park," Gronkowski said. He continued on, revealing what he believes the goals need to be for the Patriots in 2025. "What we've really got to see now, is how coach Vrabel can bring this team together, so they can have that chemistry to go out and play together, as a team. And go out there and win games, and possibly have a shot at making the playoffs and winning the division," he said. "And if not winning the division, at least getting a Wild Card so that they can compete in the playoffs. That's what he has to do."

Everything will begin for the Patriots with a Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at home on September 7. For more New England Patriots and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
