Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid would like all of the people who say
that she doesn't deserve her success to kindly get a
reality check.
While speaking at an event on Friday, Gigi
addressed critics who think that she only got to
where she is today because of her privileged
upbringing. (Reminder: her father Mohamed
Hadid is a very successful real estate developer,
and her mother Yolanda Hadid is a former model
and used to be on The Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills.) According to the Daily Mail, Gigi said:
People say that I don't deserve to be where I
am because I come from this successful
family, but my parents were fucking hardworking...My
dad was a refugee, my mum was
on a farm, went to New York and worked to
send money back to her family. They worked
their asses off and they've given me a life
because of their hard work, and I work hard to
honor that.
In addition to pointing out her own work ethic,
Gigi mentioned that she knows the kind of people
who only got to where they are because of
nepotism, and that she doesn't think very highly of
them. She said, "I've worked with them, they
suck." Yikes.
So what we've learned today, friends, is that Gigi
does not like people undermining her
accomplishments (understandable!), and that if
you ever get the chance to work with her, you
better bring your A game.
