Gigi Hadid is firing back at people leaving negative comments about her body type and overall career as a model on Instagram, standing up for herself in a long, heartfelt message.
Hadid said she entered the industry at a time when it was “ready for a change” and she represents someone who’s “confident” and “sexy.”
“I represent a body image that wasn’t accepted in high-fashion before,” she wrote. “I’m very lucky to be supported by the designers, stylists, and editors that I am: ones that know this is fashion, it’s art; it can never stay the same.”
Hadid, the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and former model Yolanda Foster, went on to tell her naysayers that their negative comments aren’t going to slow down her successful career.
“Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m fitting into sample sizes,” she wrote. “Your mean comments don’t make me want to change my body, they don’t make me want to say not to the designers that ask me to be in their shows, and they definitely don’t change the designers opinions of me.”
