Gigi Hadid Denies Epstein Ties, Clarifies Modeling Journey

0:00On April 4th, Gigi Hadid, the 30-year-old model and mom-to-five-year-old Kai, with ex-Zane Malik, finally spoke out about her name popping up in. Those old Jeffrey Epstein files. In an email exchange from around 2012, Epstein chatted about her dad possibly paying her modeling agency, but he shut that down quick. Say no, and that model's just followed directions. Earlier this week, she hit back at a fan on Instagram who unfollowed her over the docs, explaining she felt real disturbed by the mention since she was only 20 or 21 back then. Hadid stressed her folks, Muhammad and Yolanda, raised her right despite the privilege, teaching hard work from her agency signing that same year. Fans and followers lit up social media, some relieved by her clear denial of any ties to Epstein, while others dug into her family background for context on the modeling world pressures. No new docs dropped, but Hadid made it crystal, zero affiliation with that predator, and she's been grinding legit ever since.
