Gigi Hadid Responds to Jeffrey Epstein Document Mentions: “Disturbing and Untrue”
Supermodel Gigi Hadid has publicly responded after her name—and that of her sister, Bella Hadid—appeared in recently released documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
The files, made public by the U.S. Department of Justice, included a 2015 email exchange that sparked online debate and criticism.
What Was Said in the Epstein Emails?

Despite the vague and unverified nature of the exchange, the mention quickly gained traction online, prompting backlash and speculation on social media.
Gigi Hadid’s Response: “I Have Never Had Any Affiliation”
