Earlier today, Zayn Malik tweeted a screenshot of a message that has already garnered over 220k likes. "As you all know, I am a private person, and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in," he wrote.
"A place where private family matters aren't thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago," he continued.
"This was and still should be a private matter, but it seems for now there is divisiveness, and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family enviornment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been 'leaked' to the press."
"I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and, more importantly, I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves," he concluded.
Just after he tweeted this, TMZ published an article alleging that Yolanda Hadid — the mother of Zayn's girlfriend, Gigi — claims Zayn struck her.
