Celebrities are no stranger to over-enthusiastic fans, but sometimes, these ‘fans’ really go overboard. Recently, supermodel Gigi Hadid had a scary encounter with a ‘fan’ who tried to lift her up on a street. This happened when Gigi was leaving the Max Mara show with her sister Bella Hadid, also a supermodel.
As the two were walking to their car, a stranger walked up behind Gigi and almost lifted her up putting one of his hands under her thigh, and the other around her waist.
Visibly shocked and angry, Gigi was quick to act in her defence as she punched him with her elbow right in the face. Shaken by the entire incident, she even tried to run after him yelling,“Who the fuck are you, you piece of shit.”
The man quickly put her down and flew the scene. Gigi then asked her guards to find him in the direction he ran.
The supermodel won our respect for showing such courage, but it was ridiculous to see some headlines that slammed her for being too aggressive and not showcasing model-like behaviour. Really? What’s model-like behaviour anyway?
A reporter came to Gigi’s defense with a rather sensible alternative headline.
