Just yesterday, Bostonist shared an interesting tract about world history, the mafia, the domestication of zebras, and the Simpsons, which was posted as a comment to our site. No sooner had we finished sharing that enlightening tidbit, than we received in our inbox what purports to be a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (or Gomzales, as his name is written elsewhere in the letter), complaining about some complicated, fraudulent scheme involving body doubles of Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan.
The author of the letter, Aurora Martinez (or Aurora Faye Brady, if you go by the name she uses for her yahoo e-mail address), claims to be married to Pats QB Tom Brady (in her words, "with whom I am acquainted to whom I married"). She explains that it is common practice when the Patriots travel for them to bring along several body doubles of "key players and family." She asserts that body doubles of Brady and his girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, are using their lookalike status to do fraudulent interviews with network news programs and gain publicity. We'd summarize more, but the letter, which is reproduced after the jump, isn't that long and explains the whole dastardly conspiracy.
Naturally, Bostonist makes no promises as to the truthfulness or authenticity of Martinez's letter. In fact, we strongly suspect it is entirely false, but that doesn't stop it from being awesome. Real journalists would, at the very least, call Ms. Martinez (she includes her number in the letter, and a reverse lookup tells us that the number really is connected to a woman by that name who lives in Boston), but Bostonist has a day job and we are reluctant to use our employer's phone to talk to crazy people. Instead, we leave it to you, dear readers, to get to the bottom of this intriguing mystery (provided AG Gomzales doesn't solve the problem first).
Here is Aurora Martinez's stunning tell-all letter, exactly as she e-mailed it to us. Although Tom Brady's name is at the bottom, the letter was not signed. In an attachment, Martinez included pictures of Brady and Moynahan from numerous websites, which she claims prove her theory about the body doubles. She also sent this letter, puzzlingly, to entertainment site Star Pulse, Teen Scene Magazine, People Magazine, video game website IGN.com, online cheesy men's magazine AskMen.com, and MostBeautifulMan.com, a website that our work computer won't let us look at.

Dear Mr. Gomzales:
We had spoken once before regarding fraud, identity theft and stalking. The clips above our photographs published either on internet websites or print materials for commercial distribution. The source of the original photograph is given as well as an approximate date of the event or of publication. With each publication it is asserted that the man in the photograph is Thomas Edward Brady Jr., a quarterback of the New England Patriots with whom I am acquainted to whom I married. You will note that despite the close proximity in dates, the distinct difference in physical appearance and ages between the men pictured it is asserted that they are the same man. You will notice the contrast between the man photographed in uniform during the football games following 09/08/05 who has played the entire games and the man photographed in the picture 07/31/05 at training camp at Gillette Stadium, the early preseason games in which the man pictured did not play, the visa commercial shot and the magazines and the other photos from entertainment events. You will also note that the men photographed during each of the press conferences and the actual player in uniform from the games as well as the other from the entertainment events also are different in physical appearance and appear to be different men. It has been asserted that the woman pictured in the photograph at the entertainment events is the actress Bridget Moynahan. The pictures illustrate the use of the same name and identity by two or more physically different women, all actresses who gained employment in motion pictures unlawfully through use of false or stolen information. You will note that the actor photographed in each instance with Bridget Moynahan has a different build and is blued eyed while the football player photographed at each game and some press conferences is green eyed. The woman pictured on 02/28/05 has recently moved into the residence next door, 293-5 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, lives with a blond woman who claims to be Anne Lee and is becoming verbally if not physically threatening following me everywhere even out of state when I attend away games.
My concern is with the fraud and misrepresentation as well potential identity theft that has occurred. It would appear that the actor pictured with Bridget Moynahan is guilty of misrepresentation setting himself out to the public as the original football player and has profited economically from use of his identity both in gaining reputation and actual contracts to be photographed and interviewed for magazines. The woman pictured above as Bridget Moynahan also gains economically attaining roles in several films from the publicity and is not the same woman who originally used the identity Bridget Moynahan to gain contract as an actress in the film Coyote Ugly the earliest employment contract of record known.
My concern is regarding the exploitation both the team owner and the media of the original Tom Brady. You will note that the picture of the Tom Brady with Bridget Moynahan dated 06/12/05 that was taken during the ceremony for the presentation of the Super Bowl rings to the New England Patriots at the owner Bob Kraft’s home which was published on several websites and in newspapers. The use of body doubles which identity theft and often leads to damage in reference to the reputations of the original athletes appears to have become a common practice in professional sports. Agreeing to the use of body doubles becomes a concession that athletes make simply to play professional sports.
Attached is a profile of television and motion pictures appearances by the Thomas E Brady, Jr born on August 7, 1977 or so is claimed which indicates a use of identity to gain economic profit. You will note that the men photographed in most instances only resemble the football player photographed during the Patriots games but are not identical even given cosmetic changes such as weight gain and change in hair style and color. Each “actor” or body double is blue eyed for instance.
With the Patriots team, there are typically three team buses at every away game each with body doubles of key players and family. The brown hair woman pictured in the snapshot from the 6/20/05 Red Sox game with Tom Brady is said to be his sister. Three women similar to her or body doubles typically ride the team bus. You will notice that the Tom Brady in the picture resembles the one from the picture with Donald Trump and the other entertainment events magazine articles but not the football player pictured at the games. These “body doubles” in term feel at ease in using the identity of the originals, the article in Deadspin in the attached file that are to the detriment of the original. The women pictured in the article are featured on the website “Desktop Strippers.” While the body double was elsewhere in New York and then later seen in Boston, the original was attending practice at Gillette Stadium and gave a press conference, the transcript of which is given in the attachment.
Two other issues I have is that each broadcast network or newspaper affiliation using a specific body double for their photographs or their televised interviews and are guilty of fraud and misrepresentation as news sources. It might be of interest to request the footage of the ESPN Hollywood episode and the ESPN Sports Century episode of Tom Brady. Arguably the woman asserting herself as Bridget Moynahan in conjunction with the actors asserting themselves as Tom Brady Jr. are guilty of fraud and misrepresentation for unjust economic benefit and are thus have caused harm or injury depriving the original football player of reputation and economic opportunities (i.e. endorsements) and future employment. The women resembling Bridget Moynahan are beginning to attempt to use personal information of mine it presenting themselves to the media though I do not yet have physical evidence that fraud or identity theft has occurred. It would also be of value to compare footage from the actual games with film from the press conferences and the internet sites and print publications. This would be particularly of value comparing materials from sources related sources and those gained from entertainment sources (i.e. Bravo for the Independent Spirit Awards in 2004, ESPY awards hosted by ESPN in 2002 and 2004, People magazine, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, Boston Herald).
Tom and I would greatly appreciate your attention to the matter. I ask that should pursue further inquiry that individual assigned consult with me as there are other issues pertaining to stalking, breaking and entering, and harassment regarding some of the individuals involved at the local level which have neglected by the police. My home number is 617-***-****, me cellular 773-***-****. My email address is *********************@*********.
Regards,
Aurora Faye Martinez, Thomas Edward Brady, Jr.
