Gigi Hadid is proud to be Palestinian.
The supermodel, 20, posted an image of a group of hands covered in henna tattoos on Wednesday.
“Had the best night with some of my oldest friends last night. Feel so blessed to have a foundation of friendship that will bond us for the rest of our lives. The way we can all sit around and talk like the clock’s been turned back 10 years is the most beautiful and grounding feeling. It’s so important to be with the families that raised you and friends that were raised with yours. So much love in my heart this holiday season!!!!”
She also added a quick shoutout to the haters who she thought might question her actions. “& before you go all ‘cultural appropriation’ in my comments, check out the last name. Hadid. Half Palestinian & proud of it.”
Hadid, along with her sister Bella Hadid and brother Anwar Hadid, are the children of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda Foster and Palestinian real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.
