Gigi Hadid Has Clapped Back At Haters Who Say She’s Only Famous Because Of Her Parents

Gigi Hadid has something to say to all the people who think she doesn’t deserve her success.

Gigi has been on the receiving end of hate from people who credit her fame to her succesful parents. 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.

The 23-year-old was in Sydney on Friday for the Reebok Be More Human campaign when she addressed her haters to the crowd.

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 hard-working…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 honour 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.”

Well that’s that then.
