You probably recognise supermodel Gigi Hadid from her countless ad campaigns and magazine covers. It’s pretty hard not to know who she is — her face is literally everywhere.
It’s safe to say Gigi isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She’s been open about her experience with body-shaming after she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, and has clapped back at critics who said she’s only famous because of her parents’ success.
Well, today’s Gigi news comes in the form of a tweet to a fan who posted a photo of her cousins meeting the supermodel after a photoshoot.
tell me why my cousins just met -
A few hours later, Gigi herself appeared in the replies, calling the fan out for being “negative” and “mean” when she had agreed to take a photo with the girl’s cousins despite not looking her best.
“It bums me out that there’s people like you who function on an intelligence level that would look beyond the nice experience I had with your sweet fam & turn that into such a negative and mean train of thought,” she continued.
But the fan in question replied pointing out she didn’t actually say anything negative about Gigi in the first place.
@GiGiHadid i didn’t say ANYTHING! go rant to someone else bruh omg everyone’s clowning you but you’re gonna come directly at me... alright
While some people did show their support for Gigi, others rallied behind the fan, agreeing that she didn’t do anything wrong.
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm I love how when normal people snap people say be kind, but when celebs slam people go like "yass queen" that poor girl did not even say ANYthing about her but she's pissed off. Eye- m shook
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm Gigi, she wasn’t even saying anything wrong about you though.. the thread consisted of everyone else clowning you, not noor.... like why take your anger out on her tf
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm But she didn't said a word against you! Why are you acting sooooo pissed?!🤷
“She literally put no negativity in that,” one person wrote. “If that’s how you take it then that’s on you.”
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm she literally put no negativity in that skskdj if that’s how you take it then that’s on you
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm i honestly love you but she’s not saying anything bad abt u, why u insulted her? omg r u okay? i -
It was also pointed out that Gigi hadn’t even been tagged in the tweet, meaning it wasn’t intended for her to see.
You weren't even tagged https://t.co/kaxcZY7uxY
One person remarked that, while some people may have been saying negative things about the photos, the original poster didn’t, and because Gigi chose to reply to her specifically, the girl would most likely receive backlash from Gigi’s fans.
@GiGiHadid @lovingmyzjm She wasn’t being mean to you at all, the people in the replies were. Now, because you have a large following and put the negative spin on her rather than the comments, a 17 year old will be sent hate based upon her looks by them. Hope you’re pleased with that!
Others simply said Gigi shouldn’t be focusing on negative comments in the first place.
@GiGiHadid gigi, do not call for negative comments, often these people need love! you are a loved person for many, focus on those who love and support you, kill them with kindness.
