Growing up, Patricia was more popular than her older sister. She got the positive attention while Gisele struggled with bullying because of her height.
"Even before I got into the business, I was used to being bullied because I was always tall and skinny and stuck out," Gisele told the New York Times. She also told Charlie Rose in an interview, "I was 5'11" at 14. It wasn't fun... Like everybody made fun of me. Every time I go in the slow dance, like nobody wanted to dance with me. Seriously, I was this much taller than everyone in my class."
While Gisele was being bullied, Patricia was making friends since she didn't stand out as much. "She was like everybody — you know, she had the same height as everybody else," Gisele explained.
