Gigi Hadid, the 30-year-old supermodel, has publicly addressed her and her sister Bella Hadid's mention in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. The emails, released by the U.S. Department of Justice, included a conversation about how the Hadid sisters became successful models. Gigi expressed her discomfort with being discussed in relation to Epstein, stating, "To be named in those files... is disturbing." She emphasized that she has never had any affiliation with Epstein, whom she described as a 'disgusting human being.' Gigi clarified that her initial silence was out of respect for the real victims of Epstein's crimes. She acknowledged her privileged background but asserted that she has worked hard since signing with a modeling agency in 2012. This revelation comes in the wake of numerous accusations against Epstein, who was arrested in July 2019 for sex trafficking minors and died by suicide in his jail cell shortly after.
