Madame Courageuse!
Courageous woman 🤍🤍🤍💪🏼🔥
It’s like Starmer arriving at Doncaster race course isn’t it! Oh wait it’s not is it.
That’s not ppl clapping, she just sounds like that when she walks now……poor woman

This just goes to show that women have no understanding of the word brave.
Shes seems very happy. She'll be on 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' next.
Wonderful person giving her flowers ❤❤ such a strong lady ❤
Bless this woman. I hope she will heal from this trauma.
I smell something fishy.
A dignified and brave woman ❤️

Um exemplo de mulher! Que Deus a ajude! Que aqueles homens paguem pelos seus atos inaceitáveis. Parabéns Gisele!
